Product Manager

About Us:

We’re fixing the retirement savings system - come join us.

We’re on a mission to make saving for retirement easy. Our first product helps people digitally locate their old 401k accounts and consolidate them into a new account at any financial institution - without the paperwork, phone calls, and faxes of the past. We believe all Americans should retire with enough money for a life of dignity. Over time, we intend to eliminate all of the friction & fees embedded in the retirement savings system that stops them from doing so - and we’re not stopping there.

We’ve raised $15mm from leading venture capital investors including Canapi Ventures, Greycroft, RRE, Bling Capital, and Walkabout Ventures. We’re a 20 person remote-friendly company based in New York City. 

About The Role: 

Capitalize is seeking a Product Manager to join our growing team! As Capitalize’s second product management hire, your work will be instrumental in our efforts to help more people gain control of their retirement savings. In particular, you’ll drive efficiency and remove friction in our core rollover platform and identify additional opportunities for growth.

We’re looking for a user-centric and data-driven product manager with 3+ years of consumer tech experience. If you have experience in early-stage startups, thrive in cross-functional environments, and enjoy taking a product from 0-1, we’d love to hear from you!  

As an early employee of Capitalize, you will have a big impact on our success, and will have the opportunity to grow your career and responsibilities significantly over time. 

What You'll Do:

• Accelerate the growth of our core rollover platform, leveraging user-centric and data-driven methodologies like user interviews, product analytics, and A/B testing
• Own the execution of product work from end-to-end: Establish product requirements, set timelines, project manage the roll-out of new features, and validate and iterate to achieve the desired outcomes
• Work closely with our go-to-market teams (marketing, partnerships, and strategy) to support growth initiatives
• Collaborate closely with designers and engineers to define feature functionality, contribute to our roadmap, and get features shipped 
• Process, review, and interpret large amounts of customer data to uncover new product insights
• Formulate hypotheses to improve conversion and rigorously test them with product experiments

What You'll Bring: 

• 3+ years of experience in product management for consumer-facing tech products
• An ability to empathize with users and a love for understanding their behavior
• Experience in product management with a track record of optimizing early-stage products or new products at established companies
• A strong analytical orientation with an ability to think creatively about how to get the information you need to prove or disprove a hypothesis using a balance of user research, analytical data, and product instinct
• An effective approach in articulating decisions and mobilizing support for key initiatives
• Experience as an early Product hire at a venture-backed company, a strong plus
• Your own unique talents - we encourage you apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications above

What It’s Like on the Product Team:

• We really do listen to the user - our product process weaves user feedback, discussions, and interviews throughout, from beginning to end
• We work hard to move fast - we like to ship early and often and have incredible engineers to partner with
• We keep a high bar - it’s more difficult to strive for greatness, especially when moving fast, but that’s what we intend to do every day
• We take ownership - we have the skills to bring ideas to life, navigating challenges and making decisions
• We take intellectual honesty seriously  - we let the data speak, we try to be objective, and we’re OK being wrong - quickly adapting to navigate towards success

Benefits We Offer:

• Competitive salary and equity
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, with 100% premium covered for staff and 50% for dependents
• 401k plan access
• Unlimited paid time off
• 12 weeks of fully-paid parental leave
• Access to a dog-friendly office space in NYC
• Maven, One Medical and Teladoc memberships
• ClassPass fitness perk

We’re a mission-driven company focused on doing what’s right - for our customers and for our team. That means assembling a group of diverse, hardworking people who want to be their best in a setting that’s open and inclusive for all. We’re committed to diversity in both measurable terms (e.g. gender, race) and across other dimensions like skill sets and experiences. We believe that a diverse, equitable and inclusive company enriches our professional and personal lives. If that speaks to you, we want to meet you. Come help us build!
