Founding Product Manager

Welcome to Glide!

At Glide we’re reimagining the banking experience for the modern world . Our white label embedded fintech platform empowers legacy financial institutions, like community banks and credit unions, to pioneer novel digital experiences for their customers.

You’ll be joining an all-star team with engineering, product, and growth experience from Stripe, Google, and Amazon.

We’re bringing a new perspective to the decades-old financial world , and we’re hoping you can help us along the journey!

The Opportunity

As Glide’s Founding Product Manager , you’ll be a key partner to our Chief Product Officer and our first dedicated product hire. You’ll define our roadmap, launch new products, and set the tone for how we build.

This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage company and help create a new standard in financial technology.

What You’ll Do:

Drive Product Vision & Execution

• Own the roadmap for our flagship account opening product

• Ship fast—hand off your first spec to engineering within 7 days

• Work closely with design and engineering to build secure, reliable features

• Use data, feedback, and market insights to inform decisions

Solve Real Customer Problems

• Partner directly with community banks and credit unions to understand their biggest pain points

• Translate complex workflows into intuitive, scalable products

• Define success metrics and iterate quickly based on learnings

• Own the full product lifecycle—from discovery through launch and adoption

Shape How We Build

• Establish product development best practices from the ground up

• Drive a fast, iterative build-measure-learn loop in partnership with engineering

• Ensure alignment across sales, marketing, ops, and GTM efforts

• Help shape the product org and culture as we scale

Who you are, and the experience we’re looking for:

• Fintech experience: 5–7+ years of product management experience, ideally in fintech. Strong understanding of financial services, particularly banking, lending, or payments.

• End-to-end ownership: You’ve taken products from 0 → 1 and scaled them. Comfortable navigating the full lifecycle: discovery, launch, iteration, and scale.

• Experience across consumer and/or B2B: You’ve built and shipped in either consumer-facing and B2B products, especially those with complex workflows.

• Customer-first & analytical: You think deeply about user journeys and can distill insights from customer interviews, data, and intuition. You use metrics to drive product decisions and experimentation.

• Startup mindset: You thrive in ambiguity, love high ownership, and bias toward action. You’ve shipped in high-growth, early-stage environments.

What will make you stand out as a candidate:

• AI experience: Exposure to AI-powered automation, decisioning, or workflow tooling.

• Understanding of the banking ecosystem: Familiarity with core banking systems, credit unions, and the broader US banking landscape.

Why Join Now?

This is a unique opportunity to join Glide as a foundational leader. You won’t just support the business, you’ll help build and shape it . From defining our internal systems to driving strategic priorities, you’ll have true ownership and a seat at the table as we grow. If you're energized by building from scratch, leading cross-functional impact, and leaving your mark on how a company operates at every level, we’d love to hear from you.
