Summary

This role is designed for a hybrid professional who sits at the intersection of technical Product Management and heavy-duty Accounting. The ideal candidate has at least 4 years of experience managing financial platforms (like subledgers or ERP integrations) and possesses hands-on experience with month-end closes and SOX controls. While a CPA is preferred, the team prioritizes practical domain expertise—specifically the ability to translate complex accounting policies into technical API contracts and data schemas. The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from **$190,000 to $240,000** (depending on location), plus equity and a robust benefits package that includes 100% subsidized medical premiums. As a **remote-first** position, it offers significant geographic flexibility, though you must be willing to work on **East Coast hours**. This is a high-impact infrastructure role where you will build the financial backbone of a major fintech player. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a "bilingual" skill set—you can discuss SQL, ETL, and API design with engineers and journal entries or audit risks with controllers. * Are comfortable owning the "source of truth" for high-volume financial data and ensuring its integrity from system to ledger. * Prefer building scalable backend infrastructure and data lineage over customer-facing UI/UX. * Thrive in a remote environment but can influence cross-functional stakeholders across Finance and Engineering.

Job Description

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

Our mission to deliver honest financial products that improve lives extends globally. To support this mission, we are building out the backbone of our fintech systems to ensure they are scalable, compliant, and capable of supporting rapid product innovation. We’re looking for a strong product leader to drive this vision forward!

We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the product roadmap for subledger and reporting infrastructure, the Accounting ↔ Engineering interface, and reconciliation and controls that enable month-end close and auditability. This role owns the end-to-end journey of financial data from engineering systems to the general ledger/ERP and partners closely with Accounting, data, and platform teams.

What you’ll do

• Own the financial reporting product roadmap: subledgers, standardized accounting-event interface, journal-entry flows, GL/ERP integrations, and reconciliation tooling.

• Work with Engineering to define subledger patterns and the Accounting ↔ Engineering interface: accounting-event schemas, API contracts, domain boundaries, and migration strategies for operational systems to adopt the standard.

• Translate accounting policy and audit requirements into product specs, posting logic, SOX controls, and implementable engineering requirements.

• Lead matching/reconciliation strategy and automation: run vendor evaluations, define recon rules and ownership, and deliver reconciliation automation for high-volume, critical accounts.

• Own data lineage, quality metrics, SLAs, monitoring, and remediation flows for critical reports and journal feeds.

• Run product discovery, prioritization, and cross-functional programs: scope pilots, set success metrics, manage tradeoffs, and deliver production systems with Engineering, Accounting, and Finance.

• Drive governance and change management: coordinate Accounting, Finance, Product and Engineering; own go-to-production signoffs, runbooks, and stakeholder training.

• 4+ years product management experience owning financial platforms or data products — responsible for roadmap, APIs, data models, and cross-functional delivery.

• Practical accounting experience required: hands-on accounting experience with direct ownership of month-end close, reconciliations, and external audits. CPA preferred. Practical domain expertise is more important than the credential alone.

• Proven track record of building and working knowledge of financial systems, subledger → GL flows, journal-entry design, reconciliations, SOX controls, and external audit processes.

• Strong technical fluency — data models, ETL/DBT, SQL, and API design — and the ability to partner tightly with engineering and data teams on lineage and transformations.

• Exceptional communicator and cross-functional influencer: translates accounting requirements into technical specs, drives consensus across Finance & Engineering, and presents tradeoffs to senior leaders.

• Willingness to work East Coast hours

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Accounting, Finance, Computer Science, or other related fields; or equivalent practical experience.

Employees new to Affirm typically come in at the start of the pay range. Affirm focuses on providing a simple and transparent pay structure which is based on a variety of factors, including location, experience and job-related skills.
