Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most.

Dave is hiring a Director of Product Management, Growth to lead the product strategy behind how members discover, activate, and adopt Dave’s expanding portfolio of financial products.

You’ll own the full member growth journey - from the moment someone enters our funnel to the moment they become a deeply engaged, multi-product member. This role leads a team of product managers focused on funnel optimization, personalization, and member incentives while partnering closely with engineering, design, marketing, and data to build durable growth systems.

This is a role for someone who treats growth as a craft: thoughtful experimentation, strong analytical judgment, and a clear understanding of how product decisions translate into real business outcomes.

What You’ll Build and Own

• Lead product strategy for Dave’s member growth lifecycle, including activation, engagement, and multi-product adoption
• Guide and grow a team of product managers responsible for funnel optimization, personalization, and subscription or incentive mechanics
• Develop experimentation frameworks that help the team test ideas quickly while generating reliable learning
• Use cohort analysis and behavioral data to identify opportunities that improve activation, retention, and long-term member value
• Partner closely with marketing to strengthen the product and martech foundation supporting user acquisition and lifecycle engagement
• Shape cross-product experiences that help members discover the next most valuable step in their relationship with Dave

The Impact

Your work will help millions of members access fair, transparent financial products while strengthening Dave’s long-term growth as a multi-product platform.

What We’re Looking For

Experience and Foundation

• 8+ years in product management within consumer products; fintech experience strongly preferred
• 4+ years leading product managers or cross-functional product teams
• Proven track record driving measurable growth outcomes such as activation, retention, cross-sell, or lifetime value
• Experience leading product-led growth initiatives, including experimentation, funnel optimization, or personalization
• Experience scaling growth in a multi-product consumer platform
• Strong analytical fluency; comfort working directly with data and experimentation frameworks (SQL experience preferred)
• Experience partnering closely with engineering, design, marketing, and data organizations to deliver product outcomes

Bonus

• Background in consumer fintech, credit, or financial services
• Experience applying AI tools to improve product insight, experimentation, or team productivity

What Makes Someone Successful Here

You take responsibility for outcomes, not just roadmaps. You think in systems—understanding how member behavior, product design, pricing, and lifecycle engagement all work together to create sustainable growth. You care about building solutions that hold up over time, and you use data thoughtfully to guide decisions rather than chasing every signal.

You also build strong teams. You create clarity for your product managers, encourage healthy debate, and partner closely with engineering, design, marketing, and data leaders to solve problems together. When priorities evolve—as they often do in a growing company—you help the team adjust direction without losing momentum.

What to Expect

Growth at Dave is deeply data-informed and product-led. You’ll have real autonomy to shape strategy, but you’ll do it alongside strong partners across the company. Not everything will be fully defined—and that’s part of the opportunity to influence how Dave’s next chapter unfolds.

Why Join Dave

• Impact at scale: Your work will shape the financial lives of millions of members
• A pivotal moment: Dave is expanding into a multi-product platform with significant room to grow
• Real ownership: Product leaders at Dave are trusted to shape outcomes, not just deliver features
• Collaborative leadership: Product, engineering, design, data, and business leaders work shoulder-to-shoulder to build better solutions for members
