Sr. Product Manager, Core Experience

Your role in our mission Prosper's Core team sits at the center of our product strategy — and this role sits at the center of the Core team. As Senior PM, Core Experience, you will own the connective tissue between our Personal Loans and Credit Card products, building the intelligent, unified customer experience that turns a portfolio of financial products into a cohesive financial platform. This isn't a maintenance role. You'll define how we surface the right product to the right customer at the right moment, architect cross-product journeys that reduce friction and deepen engagement, and build AI into the foundation of how we serve customers — a core capability, not a bolt-on. You'll partner with product leadership to build a multi-year vision and roadmap, then break it into phases and drive execution with your dedicated engineering teams. Your primary KPI is ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) and you'll drive Cross Product and Second Product Adoption. You'll own it end to end. #LI-RC1 About Us Prosper introduced U.S. consumers to an innovative approach to personal finance as the first peer-to-peer lending platform in the country.

How you'll make an impact Unify the experience across Loans and Cards Identify seams in the customer journey where switching between products creates confusion or drop-off. Define and ship a single, coherent Prosper experience Build intelligent, cross-product journeys Design the logic for when and how we introduce a customer to a product they don't have yet. Build the decision framework that turns product recommendations into genuine financial guidance. Use data, experimentation (A/B tests), and customer research to iterate quickly and with conviction Own the AI strategy for Core Develop a concrete roadmap for how AI can improve product decisioning, personalization, and customer communication across the core platform. You should have a strong point of view on where AI creates real leverage — and where it doesn't Drive ARPU as a first-class metric Define leading indicators, build the instrumentation, and work cross-functionally with Design, Engineering, Data Science, Credit, and Risk to move it Own the strategy, drive the execution Write crisp strategy docs, influence senior stakeholders, and make opinionated calls on prioritization. Own your backlog. Lead and resolve conflicts across organizational stakeholders. Keep leadership updated on progress and trade-offs without being asked Skills that will help you thrive Sharp strategic thinker.

You know how to partner with data scientists and ML engineers as a true peer, and you have a concrete point of view on how to apply AI in financial services Cross-product experience.
