The Petal mission


Petal’s mission is to bring financial opportunity and innovation to everyone. 

We're pioneering a new approach to credit, by analyzing an applicant’s banking history, in addition to credit history, to determine their creditworthiness. We call this technology a Cash Score — and it takes into account income, spending, and savings. It’s currently helping thousands of people qualify for credit at better rates, even if they’ve never had it before. 


We bring the same ingenuity to our credit card products. Our simple and intuitive app gives members access to credit score tracking, budgeting tools, subscription management, and automated payment options—everything they need to make financial progress. 


Now more than ever, Americans need help improving their credit safely, responsibly, and affordably. If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, apply now, and let’s change this trillion-dollar industry together. 


At Petal, we're looking for people with kindness, positivity, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and potential will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Petal, we welcome diverse perspectives from people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions.


The Director of Product Management, Growth role 


This Director of Product Management role will be leading the Growth team that makes it possible for Petal to expand access to credit. You’ll be overseeing the PMs working on User Acquisition, Underwriting and Data to do things that have never been done in the industry -- using new data and technology to gain a full picture of a user’s financial profile and an accurate view of their creditworthiness. Because of the work done on this team, Petal is able to achieve our mission of building credit among the 70+ million people who don’t have access.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create, articulate, evangelize and refine the product roadmap for the Growth area of Petal’s product. You’ll be responsible for shaping and maintaining the roadmap for how we reach an ever increasing number of users with our product.
  • Manage and mentor a team of seriously amazing PMs with unlimited potential. One of the most important aspects of this role is to advise your direct reports on how to be the best PMs they can be. You’ll be a role-model for great PMing and a coach that can help PMs think through the various challenges they face.
  • Get your hands dirty digging into challenging problems to ship innovative solutions. You’ll model great PMing skills as you deliver product changes with a feature team. To innovate in such a complex field, you’ll need to immerse yourself in the problem space to find new solutions that have never been done before.
  • Partner closely with other teams across Petal. Our culture values teamwork and collaboration and this role exemplifies that. You’ll be a trusted partner to a large number of other teams -- including Marketing, Risk and Data Science. By working with openness and transparency, you will nurture high levels of trust and coordination across the company.

Characteristics of a successful candidate:

  • 7+ years of experience in Product Management.
  • 3+ years of experience managing or mentoring other PMs.
  • A history of shipping innovative products that delight users.
  • Excited about fintech!

Nice-to-haves:

  • Software engineering experience or Computer Science degree is a plus. You understand technical tradeoffs and are a strong partner to engineers.
  • Experience with SQL, Python and/or R is a plus. So is experience with machine learning models. You are familiar with data architecture, analytics and prediction models.

An Insider's view of Petal

What's something quirky about your company?

At Petal we celebrate our big wins with an unlikely pairing of Popeyes and Prosecco. The origin story remains a mystery — but if we accomplish something really big you can bet that delicious fried chicken and bubbles are on the horizon.

Liza

Talent, Senior Manager

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

On the Payments team, we're working to increase the speed of payments processing for our members. This way we can deliver a real-time experience, reduce the likelihood of payment reversals, and allow faster access to a member's available credit.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started at Petal as a Credit Ops Analyst. Since then, I’ve had the chance to learn from industry experts, contribute to other sectors of the company, and further pursue my passions. I now have the privilege of leading the department where I got my start. Petal has allowed me to zero in on my purpose and continues to advocate for my development.

Allen

Risk Ops Manager

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Being accessible means that folks have multiple channels to engage with me & contribute ideas, give feedback, influence direction, & seek information. A few channels I use include office hours, monthly AMA's, Tech town halls, & ad-hoc check-ins. It means listening actively, assuming positive intent, asking constructive questions, & trusting others.

John

VP Engineering

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

As a PM, I work on delivering an engaging and frictionless app experience for users as they progress on their credit building journey. One of my favorite aspects of Petal’s culture is the egoless, team-first atmosphere that allows Petalians across functions ranging from Compliance to Design to make great things happen for our users together.
