Product Leader, Digital Planning

Thrivent•Remote-Minnesota, MN

9d•$139,455 - $188,676•Remote

About The Position

Thrivent is incubating a new digital planning offering designed to make financial advice accessible to more people by lowering traditional barriers such as high asset minimums and costly planning fees, making financial guidance simpler and more actionable, and rethinking the cost structure and delivery model that limits who can be served efficiently. We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to define and deliver the minimum viable product (MVP), turning an early-stage concept into a focused, shippable offering. This role combines strategic ownership with hands-on execution. You will work directly with engineers and designers to test assumptions, make tradeoffs, and accelerate learning around customer desirability, technical feasibility, and the business model. This is not a mature product with an established roadmap. You will operate in a startup-like environment with limited structure, evolving scope, and imperfect information.

Demonstrated success launching a digital product or significant product capability
Experience defining and delivering an MVP in an ambiguous or rapidly evolving environment
Strong understanding of Agile product management, iterative development, and the software-development lifecycle
Experience working directly with engineering and design teams.
Strong business acumen and the ability to balance customer, business, and technical considerations

Engage with customers and users to uncover needs and turn insights into testable product hypotheses
Use prototypes, early builds, customer feedback, and product data to validate assumptions and refine the offering
