The Role

We are seeking a Senior Manager to join the SoFi Money team. You’ll work in a highly collaborative environment, engaging closely with cross-functional Product, Design, and Engineering teams. You’ll also be involved in the entire product lifecycle—from ideation through deployment, with continuous improvement at every stage.

In this role, you will play a key role in shaping the future of our banking products and services. We are focused on evolving our banking core, refining business logic related to payments, and entitlements, and providing an exceptional end-to-end user experience. This position involves building and maturing member-facing banking services to support new and existing products. Specifically, you will have the opportunity to support and improve the Savings experience for all SoFi members. This will include the product experience directly within the Checking and Savings member journey as well as integrations with our next generation banking platform and other SoFi products like Credit Card and Invest - ultimately making the overall SoFi product experience more connected and delightful to members. 

At SoFi, you’ll become part of a new kind of finance company whose ambition is to help our members achieve financial independence and reach their goals. We aim to be at the center of our members’ financial lives, and to help every member get their money right. We created student loan refinancing, addressing the biggest financial challenge of a new generation through a modern approach to lending and personal finance. Next we expanded our products and services across loans, wealth management, and insurance. SoFi has achieved significant growth, with ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this growth we need great talent. And that starts with you.
