Senior Product Manager, Checkout

At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most.

About the Product team

• The Product team listens to our customers' needs and translates those insights into a clear product vision.
• The team works closely with design, engineering, and analytics to build scalable financial products that empower people to manage their money with confidence.
• We rely on empathy, curiosity, and business sense to prioritize features and improve experiences.
• Our role is to lead with clarity, support cross-functional execution, and champion the user in every decision.

About the role

• The Purchasing Experience product team owns the 'face of Affirm', the core checkout experience for millions of Affirm users.
• As a Senior Product Manager on the Terms and Payments team, you will be responsible for designing both the term and payment selection experiences which drive user clarity and confidence at checkout.
• An ideal candidate is one who has worked extensively on consumer experiences at key moments in the product flow.
• This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of Product, Design, Engineering, Research, and Analytics.

What you'll do

• Own the core checkout experience where consumers select and review their terms and payments — with a focus on driving conversion, clarity, and confidence at the moment of commitment.
• Design and run experiments that improve how consumers understand and choose their terms
• Define and ship new UX patterns that change the way checkout looks and feels — using research insights, quantitative signals, and close collaboration with design and analytics to move from discovery to launch.
• Partner with Legal and Compliance to understand regulatory

requirements

and how they affect the user experience.

• Work alongside international product partners to expand the terms experience into new markets, adapting for local expectations while keeping the design system coherent.
• Develop a deep understanding of user behavior and share those insights broadly — helping the team and stakeholders stay grounded in how consumers actually experience checkout.
• Drive an ambitious roadmap — identify the highest-leverage opportunities, align cross-functional partners, and own execution from concept through launch and iteration.

What we look for

• 5+ years of Product Management experience
• A strong sense of taste for user experience — you have opinions about what makes an interaction feel clear, considered, and delightful.
• Analytical rigor — you're comfortable digging into data, interpreting experiment results, and turning qualitative and quantitative inputs into insights and product opportunities.
• World-class execution with high agency — you ship reliably, identify what matters without waiting to be told, and hold yourself to a high bar on quality and follow-through.
• The ability to work closely with cross-functional teams across product, design, engineering, analytics, and research — building trust and driving alignment without relying on authority.
• Strong communication skills — you can deliver results, drive narratives, and explain tradeoffs in a way that brings stakeholders along and creates clarity.
• Coachability — you seek out feedback, absorb it without defensiveness, and visibly grow from it.
• Bonus points if you've worked on checkout, e-commerce, or fintech products in the past.
