Grit - When challenges arise, we stay laser focused on achieving our mission and finding a way forward, even when it's hard. We are nimble and maintain a sense of urgency, swiftly adapting to change and overcoming obstacles.

The opportunity

Altruist is transforming how financial advisors deliver wealth management. We're building a new generation of credit and liquidity tools that empower advisors to offer flexible, tax-efficient access to capital for their clients. We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead strategy and execution across our Credit & Lending platform. You'll define the roadmap for liquidity products like margin, securities-backed lines of credit (SBLOC), and fully paid securities lending (FPL), driving innovation at the intersection of finance, regulation, and technology. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role. You'll work closely with leadership across Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Operations to shape a product that will redefine how advisors think about access to credit - and ultimately expand what's possible for their clients.

What you'll do

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for Altruist's Credit & Lending ecosystem.
• Lead the discovery and launch of new liquidity products, starting with Margin, while building scalable systems for future innovation.
• Define success metrics and key outcomes that align with Altruist's broader mission to simplify wealth management.
• Partner across Compliance, Finance, and Operations to build products that are as sound as they are customer-centric.
• Champion speed with quality, balancing iterative MVP releases with the rigor needed for regulated financial products.
• Build a data-driven, customer-obsessed culture, using insights from analytics, user research, and advisor feedback to inform every decision.

Who you are

• Experienced: 8+ years in product management with a track record of owning complex, high-visibility products - ideally in fintech, credit, or regulated environments.
• Strategic: You see the system - connecting product vision to company strategy, financial outcomes, and user behavior.
• Execution-focused: You move quickly, make smart tradeoffs, and deliver impact without compromising quality or compliance.
• Influential: You lead through context and collaboration, not control. You can inspire engineers, designers, and executives alike.
• Data-savvy: You use data and insight to challenge assumptions, validate direction, and measure success.
• Resilient and grounded: You operate with confidence, humility, and a learning mindset - even in ambiguity.

Bonus points

• Experience building or scaling credit, margin, or lending products within fintech or financial institutions.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as Reg T or FINRA Rule 4210.
• A history of navigating complex regulatory or operational challenges with creativity and speed.
• Hands-on experience with liquidity risk management or financial operations tooling.

Why you'll love working here

At Altruist, we're on a mission to make financial advice better, more accessible, and more affordable for everyone. You'll join a team that values impact over ego, speed over perfection, and collaboration over silos. As a Senior PM, you'll have both the autonomy to lead major initiatives and the support of a team deeply committed to building something transformative.
