Hi, we're Brigit! A holistic financial health company helping every American build a brighter financial future. With a business model that is aligned with our customers, we create transparent, fair, and simple financial products that put money back in the hands of our members, help them spend wisely, and avoid unfair fees.


We are looking for a product visionary that can see beyond the constraints of archaic financial products that exist today. Our ideal candidate is an experienced product leader who will define product strategy and lead product. 


This role will expand and build upon the vision of the product, define feature road-maps, and drive execution with our Engineering & Design teams. Experience in product planning, customer discovery, and implementing product development processes are all vital for this role. You will work with leaders in Engineering, Marketing & Design, and will be reporting directly to the C-Suite. 


As Brigit continues to scale rapidly, being able to improve previous experience in building product culture, especially one that understands the importance of rapid testing and continuous learning about our users’ needs is paramount. This person should be able to provide real examples of his/her own experiences with growing product organizations and have concrete plans for instilling this culture at Brigit.

What You Have

  • 7+ years in consumer tech (ideally FinTech) in a senior Product role
  • Deep knowledge on extracting and delivering consumer insights via focus groups, usability tests, surveys, behavioral data, A/B testing
  • Strong skills in partner management and internal evangelism through verbal and written communication
  • A passion for making a social impact and to help build a business that dramatically improves people’s lives
  • You make data informed decisions, and can balance that with a deep intuition of how users engage with a product or feature--you can rapidly validate and revise your hypotheses
  • A strong understanding of engineering capabilities and constraints and work well with Engineers
  • You are organized, focused on results, and understand that light processes that deliver results are critical for our growing team

What You'll Be Doing

  • Creating a bold vision for our products aligned with achieving our goal of improving the lives of the underserved
  • Partner with the Data team to define measurable metrics of success for the Product team, and drive accountability through OKRs
  • Delivering experiences that drive revenue, conversion, and customer engagement, while driving cost efficiencies
  • Develop the roadmap of features, adaptively planning forward and managing the implementation with engineering & design
  • Working with our Engineering and UX teams to establish agile processes, frameworks, and tools to improve velocity, quality, and ensure transparency
  • Build, recruit, and train a world-class product team
  • Proactively think through organizational design and development as team scales

We're backed by leading VC's, including DCM, Canaan Partners, NYCA, and a number of the world's most influential social impact investors. If autonomy, ownership, and having meaningful input at the company you work for is important to you, come join our growing team!

An Insider's view of Brigit

What are some social events your company does?

One of my favorite events that Brigit has is employee-run quarterly breakfasts. The staff running the breakfast attempt do their best in impersonating a New York deli - making breakfast sandwiches on griddles and pourover coffee to order. We also try to encourage a no meeting and laptop policy during the breakfast hour to spend some quality time.

Jeremy

Engineering Manager

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

Our goal on Data Science is to strike the right balance between helping more users and minimizing losses. Most users need money to purchase food, gas, or even buy a meal. The credit underwriting models we use allow us to help as many people as we can and improve our user retention over time in order to achieve a competitive advantage.

Madhu

Senior Data Science Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I joined Brigit after graduating from college. During my 2.5 years at Brigit, my career has grown in ways I would not have expected. Six months into my time at Brigit, I began doing more backend work and moving into a Full-Stack role. After 1.5 years, I took on the role of technical lead on our Membership team.

Avery

Software Engineer -- Tech Lead

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

I'm always available via slack and then I work to schedule skip levels with everyone on engineering, as well as with folks outside of engineering on occasion throughout the month to make sure I have a pulse on how folks are doing. Additionally I try to solicit feedback through our culture & development platform and use that to spur conversations.

Hamel

Co-Founder & CTO

What are some things you learned at the company?

In my time at Brigit I've been able to learn how not to just build a brighter future for others but for myself as well. Each and every day here I have had the opportunity to improve my problem-solving skills, adapt to meet the needs of our users, and provide them the information they need to build the lives they want for themselves.
