About The Position

Acorns is seeking a Product Manager to build the experiences that help millions of everyday people stay engaged in saving, investing, and building wealth. You will lead the product strategy across Home, core surfaces, and account management — shaping the experiences that define a customer’s ongoing relationship with Acorns. This role is for a builder with strong consumer product craft, someone who understands what motivates people throughout their financial journey and can translate that understanding into experiences that inspire lasting financial habits. Acorns is a remote-first organization, offering the flexibility to work remotely while providing optional access to office space in Irvine, CA.

Bias for speed and action, making sound decisions amid ambiguity and moving quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality and craft.
Proven analytical rigor, knowing which metrics matter, analyzing performance with depth, and using data to drive decisions and hold teams accountable
Strong technical fluency, understanding the systems behind your features well enough to ask the right questions, make good tradeoffs, and ensure the right solution gets built
Hands-on with AI tools, using them actively to prototype ideas, pressure-test scenarios, and synthesize research to accelerate the product development process
Hunger to deliver game-changing products
Exceptional drive and precision in delivery
A belief that your work is tied to your life's mission
Optimistic about the potential of societal change

Responsibilities

Own the surfaces that help customers see their financial progress, understand what matters next, and stay motivated to keep growing — anchored by Home as the heart of the customer relationship
Define a coherent engagement model across these surfaces so customers experience Acorns as one connected journey, not a collection of individual products
Develop deep fluency in how customer needs change across the financial journey — from getting started to building momentum, falling off track, and recovering — and use that understanding to identify the experiences that help customers keep progressing
Lead product work end to end, from discovery and strategy through delivery, measurement, and iteration, with a high degree of autonomy and ownership
Shape how partner teams show up across shared surfaces, ensuring new experiences strengthen the broader customer journey rather than fragment it
Lead cross-functional teams across design, engineering, data, legal and compliance, and marketing to ship and iterate on experiences that deepen engagement and retention
Design and run experiments to test assumptions, identify what meaningfully improves long-term engagement, and use those learnings to advance retention goals.
