About The Position

Kovo is hiring a Product Manager - Growth to grow its core credit-building product. The role has end-to-end ownership of onboarding, lifecycle, conversion, and retention, including setting the roadmap and building improvements directly. The person will work across two feature-complete credit builder products that report to all four major credit bureaus, lifecycle messaging across email, push, in-app, and SMS, and growth experiments across web and app. The role also includes a migration of the lifecycle stack to PostHog and product analytics and experimentation in PostHog, with sandbox environments for prototyping on the real product. Most of the role is focused on finding and shipping the highest-leverage improvements to the existing product. The successful candidate will set product direction and plans, identify opportunities through product workflows, data, user sessions, and support conversations, prototype and ship production changes, instrument analytics, and run experiments end to end. They will also own lifecycle workflows and build agentic workflows that reduce the human effort required to propose, launch, and analyze experiments over time. This is a high-ownership, high-intensity remote role with minimal bureaucracy and limited scaffolding. The role reports to one of Kovo's founders, based in Austin, Texas. Kovo describes its mission as expanding access to financial tools for people historically excluded from the traditional credit system, helping people establish financial identity and economic opportunity.
