About the Role: As the Product Manager for the Direct Channel, you will be the driving force behind the platform that brings new customers to Plenti.

Success in this role means a direct and significant increase in loan origination, all while championing a quality customer experience and ensuring the operational efficiency that allows us to scale. Key Responsibilities - Own the Roadmap: You will own the product vision, strategy, and execution for the Direct Channel lifecycle—from the first click on our site, through the application process, to post-funding, cross-sell, and refinance opportunities. - Lead Your Squad: You will lead and inspire a dedicated cross-functional squad of engineers and designers, fostering a culture of rapid iteration, experimentation, and customer focus. You will run the squad/'s ceremonies and be accountable for its delivery and impact. - Be the Voice of the Customer: Go deep on the "why." You’ll use tools like SQL, along with customer interviews and user testing, to uncover the biggest pain points and opportunities in our funnel. - Champion Experimentation: You will instill a rigorous A/B testing discipline, forming hypotheses, designing experiments, and using the results to make high-impact product decisions. - Partner with Sales & Operations: You will act as the key strategic product partner for our Direct Sales and Operations teams. You won/'t just take feature requests; you will bring a strong product point of view, using data to advocate for the right balance between sales velocity, operational efficiency, and long-term customer experience. - Manage Stakeholders: You will build strong, collaborative relationships with key stakeholders across Credit, Risk, Legal, and Marketing to ensure your product solutions are not only effective but also compliant and commercially sound. About You: - Data-Driven Decision Maker: You’ve got a proven knack for diving into data to guide product thinking. You’re confident writing SQL, building dashboards in tools like Mixpanel, or similar, and using insights to influence decisions—not just track performance. - Strong Experimentation Skills: You bring a rigorous approach to A/B testing—from designing experiments and running tests through to interpreting results and turning them into clear, actionable outcomes. You know your way around concepts like statistical significance and test design. - Customer-First Mentality: You’ve got strong empathy for users and a sharp eye for what makes a great experience. Even if you/'re not a designer, you can spot friction points and champion the right solutions to create real value for customers. - Technically Curious: You don’t need to write code, but you understand how digital products are built. You’re across things like APIs, backend systems and architecture, so you can have informed, productive conversations with engineers. - Excellent Stakeholder Management: You/'re a natural communicator who can bring people along on the journey. You know how to align teams around a common goal, handle pushback with confidence, and advocate for the customer—always backing your case with data and logic. - Growth Mindset: You’re constantly looking to sharpen your skills and become a better product manager. You’re open to feedback, keen to learn, and stay on top of evolving best practices in product development. Reporting Relationships This role reports to the Head of Product.
