Job Description:
Client is the country's largest lending-exclusive financial company, proudly serving millions of customers with safe, affordable and transparent installment loans. Our customers turn to us every day-online and at 1,500 branches in 44 states-to help them take control and improve their financial lives with solutions for debt consolidation, medical expenses, household bills, home improvements and auto purchases. Our talented and
dedicated team members constantly look for responsible ways to serve our customers when, where and how they want. It\'s all about doing the right thing-a mission that hasn\'t changed for more than 100 years. We are actively seeking a Project Manager. Project Managers must develop a plan of action to get a project completed, working across departments to ensure their needs and wants are included within the confines of the project and budgetary restrictions.
We are looking to hire a Technical Product Manager (TPM) to help us systematically modernize the core services that power our originations journey.
Many of these services are deeply embedded within legacy platforms, with limited visibility into how they function end-to-end today. This role will be responsible for taking a structured, service-by-service approach to unpacking that complexity and translating it into incremental, deliverable improvements, building a clear understanding of current-state architecture, dependencies, data flows, and operational constraints.
From that foundation, the TPM will partner with engineering and architecture to shape and align on the forward-looking vision for each service, identifying opportunities to simplify, decouple, and evolve toward a more modular, scalable, and maintainable ecosystem. This includes partnering closely with product and engineering leadership to translate insights into actionable roadmaps and incremental modernization strategies.
We are seeking a Technical Product Manager with a proven track record of breaking down complex systems, creating clarity in ambiguity, and delivering incremental, high-impact improvements.
Success in this role requires strong technical fluency, systems thinking, and the ability to navigate ambiguity-paired with a pragmatic, execution-oriented mindset that moves from discovery to tangible outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Roadmap Ownership: Work closely with the lead product manager to understand strategic goals, and own prioritization and tradeoffs for the cross-team technical roadmap in alignment with product and engineering leadership, ensuring higher-priority work is clearly defined, ready, and sequenced for focused delivery.
Dependency Management & Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify, track, and manage cross-team dependencies to ensure teams can deliver sprint outcomes on time. Where dependencies exist, surface trade-offs with recommendations and reshape work or sequencing to enable independent delivery.
Technical Requirement Refinement: Partner with Engineering Managers and Tech Leads to shape and document technical requirements, ensuring clarity of outcomes and constraints, capturing architectural decisions and trade-offs, ensuring alignment with product outcomes and cross-team contracts.
Work Decomposition and Scope Discipline: Decompose work into clear, outcome-oriented increments that can be completed within a single sprint and deliver observable value, with a focus on delivering the minimum necessary to achieve measurable business outcomes.
Product Advocate: Serve as the product advocate for initiatives, articulating the business drivers and implications to technical stakeholders and technical considerations to non-technical stakeholders.
Why You'll Succeed:
You value proactive, "no-surprise" communication with your product and engineering teams.
You possess a strong "product mindset" and can balance short-term feature demands with long-term platform stability.
You use thoughtful questioning to clarify problems, challenge assumptions, and focus work on the simplest solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes.
You influence decisions through clarity, context, and strong reasoning, rather than relying on authority or prescribing solutions.
You build relationships and trust with colleagues across teams.
You value shared terminology and ensure mutual understanding across colleagues with different technical backgrounds and expertise.
You foster trust and respect by including engineers in the "why" of product development.

Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical constraints and business impact.
