Affirm

1d • $236,000 - $325,000 • Remote

About The Position

Affirm is seeking a Group Product Manager to lead a portfolio of ZT1 Labs initiatives in a hands-on builder role. ZT1 Labs is a small, senior product and engineering group that works directly with the CEO on important, ambiguous, cross-functional opportunities. The role has direct product ownership but no direct people-management responsibilities. The Group Product Manager will own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for new products and platforms, partnering with engineering, analytics, design, revenue, and business teams to build, launch, and scale products. They will work with the CEO and executive team to turn high-level ideas into durable, scalable businesses.

The position spans customer and market research, strategic opportunity definition, product vision and roadmap development, and end-to-end zero-to-one product development. The role includes hands-on work across UI/UX, AI-assisted prototyping, customer-facing copy, behavioral analysis, funnels, and experimentation. It also involves leading cross-functional teams through complex work, advising executives on product bets and tradeoffs, communicating decisions and risks, and establishing repeatable product practices for the ZT1 function.

Affirm is a remote-first company; most roles can be performed from almost anywhere within the country of employment, though some positions may occasionally require office attendance. New hires are invited to attend an in-person onboarding experience. The position’s base pay range is $265,000–$325,000 per year in CA, WA, NY, NJ, and CT, and $236,000–$296,000 per year in other U.S. states. Total compensation may also include equity rewards, monthly health, wellness, and technology stipends, and benefits.
