Product Manager, Lending Growth

It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world’s relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.

Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.

The Role

The consumer lending product team at Cash App is responsible for products including Cash App Borrow, Afterpay on Cash App Card, post-purchase Afterpay, and the Cash Credit Score. Our work focuses on building a more inclusive and transparent credit system powered by advanced ML models. 

97M Americans have no credit history or are subprime (300-600 credit score). These individuals often struggle to make ends meet, and rely on predatory products like payday or pawn shop loans. At Cash App Lending, we offer alternatives that are far cheaper, simpler, and straightforward. The results speak for themselves: We have more than doubled over the last 12 months, lending ~$18B annually.
