The Product Lead will drive the strategy for lending support, focusing on automation, identity, and data integration to enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency in Cash App and Afterpay.
It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
Lending is one of Cash App's fastest-growing ecosystems, spanning multiple brands and product lines - from Afterpay's Pay-in-4 to Cash Borrow. As these experiences converge, we're reimagining how support works: building unified systems, intelligent automation, and connected identity frameworks that deliver fast, personalized, and compliant help at scale.
As Product Lead, you'll define and drive this transformation end to end - architecting the automation, identity, and data foundations that power both chat- and voice-based GenAI experiences, as well as advocate tooling that enable world-class human support. You'll partner with Engineering, ML, Design, Product, Operations, and Compliance teams to deliver scalable experiences and platforms that strengthen customer trust while improving operational efficiency.
