Our retail partners need Affirm to be there for them, wherever that might be. To help achieve this vision, we are expanding our product lines and becoming a global company.
The International team is part of Affirm’s Network Growth team, responsible for growing Affirm’s presence & performance with merchants across the globe and building the products & capabilities that enable Affirm to enter into new verticals and markets.As a Senior Product Manager on the International team, you will drive Affirm’s expansion and growth in new international markets – from iterating on the product vision, refining the product strategy, developing a roadmap, and leading execution.
In this role, you will work closely with a broad set of cross functional teams across the entire business, as well as a number of engineering teams. Effective stakeholder management and ability to successfully navigate organizational dynamics are a must for success. You should be commercially minded, be high agency with a bias towards action, and comfortable having technical conversations (and opinions).
What You’ll Do
Drive the execution, growth, and scale of Affirm in the United Kingdom
Take Affirm’s product and adapt it to the UK market by understanding customer needs, driving merchant adoption, analyzing performance data, and iterating on the product’s features and capabilities

Identify and create the experiences that make it seamless for merchants to deliver an incredible buy now, pay later experience to consumers

You have experience working on consumer technology product in the UK or Europe. Bonus points if it is a fintech product, even more bonus points if it is a BNPL product
You’re equally comfortable diving into technical details with an engineer, iterating on a Figma with a designer, and breaking down a funnel with a data analyst
You have the discipline, organizational skills, and interpersonal communication skills necessary to navigate complex organizational dynamics – you have specific examples of times when you’ve secured a decision from a broad group of senior stakeholders
You’ve worked in an environment where you were reliant on engineering teams outside of your direct purview and were able to effectively influence them to prioritize and build what you needed for your product
You’re the kind of person who cares about getting things done. You have a bias towards action and can effectively navigate obstacles and blockers
You can turn incomplete, conflicting, or ambiguous inputs into a solid action plan
You have direct experience shipping high-quality products on time
You feel comfortable jumping into the commercial aspects of product development – you’re able to pitch, contribute to negotiations, and give feedback on contracts
