Varo is an entirely new kind of bank. All digital, mission-driven, FDIC insured, and designed for the way our customers live their lives.

A bank for all of us.

About the Product Team

Varo’s product team builds innovative and user-led experiences that our customers interact with on a daily basis. We’re responsible for making sure the products we ship solutions that solve real problems for people.

We appreciate the value of getting into the mental models of our customers and out of our offices. We bring together cross-functional teams to act on a combination of qualitative and quantitative data to meet our customer needs and commercial plans. We thrive on feedback and push to always up our game—but try to never take ourselves too seriously.

About the role

As an Associate Product Manager, you’ll own the roadmap of our spending accounts across all platforms. You will drive product vision, work closely with stakeholders to define product requirements, coordinate resources from other groups (design, legal, engineering, etc.), and influence multiple teams to create 0-1 features and support existing spending and money management products. 

You'll also be responsible for identifying and tracking key performance metrics such as spend engagement and product monetization. We’re looking for strong entrepreneurial product managers who have a knack for data analytics, can think big and execute on a vision, and excel in ambiguity while navigating processes as a means to deliver on your vision. 

What you'll be doing

• Be part of the Retail Banking team that manages and develops new customer-facing features that can showcase the benefits of being both a fintech and a licensed bank 
• Collaborate with design, engineering, data science, marketing, operations, finance and risk to design and build solutions for the most critical customer and organizational problems
• Manage product and feature launches with stakeholders across the business to ensure your features land seamlessly with customers and colleagues 
• Roll up your sleeves to remove barriers and obstacles hindering the team's ability to ship or pull your own data for an analysis that helps prioritize the right feature
• Manage the profitability and overall performance for your features, ensuring that your product meets or beats your targets

Required skills, experiences, and traits

• Delivered solutions to customer problems that have driven tangible impacts to customers’ lives and to company profitability
• Strong execution capability and ability to wear multiple hats to drive work to completion
• Ability to influence and communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders of all backgrounds and levels
• A passion for building software and strong technical intuition
• An analytical mindset with an ability and interest to mine and manipulate data using SQL and analytics tools
• You are detail-oriented with great organizational skills
• You approach problems and products with an “owner’s mentality”
• You have 2+ years of experience as a Product Manager or other relevant role




The three skills that matter most

• Analytical mindset coupled with creative problem solving
• Team Player

About Varo

We're on a mission to bring financial inclusion and opportunity to all hard-working Americans. Through our mobile app, we offer premium bank accounts that have no minimum balance requirement or monthly account fees, high-interest savings accounts, short-term lending, and solutions to help customers stretch their paycheck, build credit and start saving. Our tech-first products are designed to make money work for everyone and help customers and communities build greater financial resiliency.

Varo is distinct from other fintechs: we've made history as the first and only consumer fintech to be granted a full national bank charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Varo Bank represents the evolution of a new generation of banks that are born from innovation and built on technology to empower consumers and businesses.

Our team combines the best of both consumer tech and banking, and we’re wildly passionate about helping our customers. Our teams are based in San Francisco and Salt Lake City. Privately held, we’ve raised over $482M to date, from leading institutional investors and strategic partners including Warburg Pincus, The Rise Fund, Gallatin Point Capital, Harbourvest Partners, Progressive Insurance, and Russell Westbrook Enterprises.

Varo is entrepreneurial, collaborative, enthusiastic, customer-oriented, fast-paced, and multicultural. This is an open and relatively flat organization that puts an emphasis on collaboration, sharing ideas and information. For a relatively early-stage company, Varo is grounded in a strong set of values and takes pride in the diversity of its employees and board. 

Varo. A bank for all of us.
