Product Lead, Borrow

Job Description
The Lending team's mission is to expand access to credit for the 40M Americans with poor or thin credit. These individuals often struggle to make ends meet, and rely on predatory products like payday lenders or pawn shop loans. At Cash App Lending, we offer alternatives that are far cheaper, simpler, and straightforward.
Borrow, our flagship product, allows customers to get extra cash when they're short. Our customers primarily use it to cover everyday necessities like groceries, gas, and bills. Demand for the product has been massive, making Borrow one of the fastest growing products at Block. We've grown 3x over the last year, serve millions of monthly active customers, and provide our customers with more than $8B in access to credit each year.
We're far from done though, and have ambitious plans to scale Borrow to all 40M Americans with poor credit. We're looking for a gritty, driven Product Lead to lead us towards this vision. This role has significant executive visibility and is a top priority for the company.
You Will

• Partner with design and engineering to build a simple and delightful UX.
• Partner with the ML team to maximize access to credit within risk loss constraints.
• Partner with legal and compliance to keep us in good standing with our regulators.
• Partner with other product teams to weave Borrow into the broader Cash App ecosystem.
• Drive cross functional and executive alignment around a vision and roadmap

You Have

• 8+ years of product management or related experience delivering successful and innovative products.
• Strong analytical abilities - ideally you've worked on ML or data-heavy products in the past, and are excellent at using data to make strategic decisions.
• Strong product sense - you care deeply about design details and have great taste in design.
• A driver's mindset - you are biased toward action with no task too big or small.
• A high quality bar - for the product, yourself, and the people you work with.
• Customer obsession - you want to deeply understand our customers and make something great for them.
• Highly preferred
  • Experience working in a high growth consumer business, whether FinTech or other
  • Experience leading and working with geographically dispersed teams
