As the Director of Product, Capital Platform you will build and lead the product team responsible for growing capital across our loan products. Upstart is a marketplace business – our supply-side teams bring loan-funding capital to the platform and deliver value to capital providers. In this role, you will own the end-to-end product vision, strategy, and execution to create value for the diverse set of banks, credit unions and capital market investors on our platform.
The role starts as a senior individual contributor and is expected to expand into leadership of a product team.
Capital providers on our platform expect robust oversight and analytics; nuanced control over the loans they fund and on their portfolio overall; and automation in managing every aspect of their lending program. You will own the definition, prioritization and delivery of the functionality needed to enable those customers as we scale our platform from our current $38B+ in originations to the next level.
Our products range from end-to-end AI-enabled origination platforms to advanced internal modeling systems to APIs that allow lenders and capital providers to integrate our technology into their existing systems and workflows. You will work widely across our loan vertical teams to be the voice of capital providers as we develop those products beyond personal loans (Auto loans, HELOCs, etc).
Success in this role relies on working with a wide variety of stakeholders, developing a detailed understanding of the consumer lending landscape and effectively balancing platform vs. team specific roadmaps. We view this role as a ‘player coach’ role and the right individual for the role will have expertise in - and enjoy - both working on key initiatives directly and building out a team of world-class PMs.
How you’ll make an impact:
What we’re looking for:
Position Location - This role is available in the following locations: Remote, San Mateo, Columbus, Austin
Time Zone Requirements - This team operates on the East/West Coast time zones.
Travel Requirements - As a digital first company, the majority of your work can be accomplished remotely. The majority of our employees can live and work anywhere in the U.S but are encouraged to to still spend high quality time in-person collaborating via regular onsites. The in-person sessions’ cadence varies depending on the team and role; the leadership team for Capital meets quarterly for 3-4 consecutive days at a time. If you need to travel to make these meetups, Upstart will cover all travel related expenses.
