At Clutch, we are transforming lending for credit unions in the US to enhance the financial well-being of consumers. The average American has over $155,000 in household debt. While fintech lenders and for-profit banks are happy to issue high interest loans to consumers, credit unions have quietly existed as not for profit lenders that offer lower cost loans.
Clutch is a vertical SAAS company that develops software to turn credit unions into fintech lenders and use their balance sheets to responsibly lend to over 130M Americans. We have expanded from a small customer base to a diverse range of medium to large enterprise customers. We have rapidly grown from single digit customers to now a large customer base spread across medium to very large enterprise customers.
Millions of Americans rely on credit unions powered by Clutch to manage debt effectively. The Product team at Clutch drives the strategy and execution for end-to-end digitally automated lending and deposits at credit unions. We are seeking a highly motivated Senior/Principal Product Manager to lead the development and growth of our lending and deposits product offerings.
