JOB DESCRIPTION
We’re looking for a talented product manager to lead our launch in Southeast Asia — starting with the Philippines. In this role, you’ll collaborate with a small, experienced team of engineers, designers, and marketers in a “startup within a startup” environment. You’ll own our product roadmap and execution for the new business, expanding access to fair credit in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions. And you’ll be supported by Empower’s deep expertise and experience from the US and Mexico.
More specifically, you will drive the strategy, tactics, and delivery timelines for the development of Empower’s new app and features in the Philippines. You will bring technical expertise to in-the-weeds problem solving sessions with our engineering team. You will identify opportunities on the most impactful things we should be building for our customers, and then do the work required to build those experiences by getting cross-functional support, designing specs, overseeing development and measuring outcomes. You will collaborate across functions with autonomy, constantly engaging colleagues in Operations, Marketing, Finance, Compliance, and Support in order to maximize impact. If you’re looking for a role where you can have massive 0 to 1 impact and a wide scope, you’ll find this role compelling, challenging, and rewarding.
