Internal Product Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Clerkie is a fintech startup on a mission to democratize financial wellness using the power of artificial intelligence. Launched in 2018, Clerkie began with an app, aiming to help the nearly 123 million underserved Americans in need of financial guidance. Since its inception, the company has expanded its services and now pairs consumer guidance with cutting-edge B2B software. By pairing the two through the Clerkie network, these tools have become the go-to resource for creditors looking to manage loan losses while simultaneously helping millions of borrowers get out of debt.

Clerkie is a remote-first company, with over 40 employees spanning 4 time zones across the United States. To date, the company has raised $41 million, including a $33 million Series A round in early 2023. Investors include leading financial and venture institutions, including Citi Ventures, Left Lane Capital, Wellington Ventures, Flourish Ventures, and Vestigo Ventures.

We're looking for a driven, curious, and collaborative Product Manager to join our small-but-mighty Product team. This role is ideal for a product builder who has shipped software before and is ready to take deeper ownership of complex systems in a fast-moving startup environment.

As a Product Manager at Clerkie, you'll operate at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and real-world financial infrastructure. You'll collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and leadership while also working directly with external partners to understand how our products perform in the wild. This role offers the opportunity to own meaningful product surfaces, contribute to product strategy, and lead initiatives that directly impact how Clerkie scales its platform and partnerships. You'll work directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders across the business, including engineering, design, leadership, and client partners. Many initiatives will involve working closely with enterprise partners and users in the debt ecosystem, helping translate complex workflows into scalable product systems.

Because Clerkie is still in build mode, this role goes beyond shipping features. You'll help shape how our product organization operates - contributing to team rituals, documentation, product culture, and the systems that allow the team to move quickly and thoughtfully. For the right person, this is an opportunity to build deep product judgment, take real ownership, and grow alongside a company early on.
