Credit Karma is a mission-driven company, focused on championing financial progress for our more than 100 million members in the U.S., Canada and U.K. While we’re best known for pioneering free credit scores, our members turn to us for tips as they work on their financial goals, including helping them monitor their credit, identity monitoring, searching for credit cards, shopping for loans (car, home and personal), and growing their savings* — all for free. Credit Karma has grown significantly through the years: we’ve added more than 70 million members in the last five years alone and now have more than 1,100 employees across our offices in Oakland, Charlotte, Los Angeles and London.

The Core Team is looking for an Associate Director, Product Management who will focus on the heart of our mission: using our scale in the marketplace to help millions of members make financial progress while growing and diversifying engagement with Credit Karma. In the last quarters this team has helped people build their credit, navigate the financial crisis, solve collections, and create plans to pay down debt. If you’re interested in running the strategy at the intersection of our mission and creating market-leading experiences that impact tens of millions of members, this could be the role for you.
Problems you’ll solve:
Americans have $1 trillion in Credit Card Debt, $1.5 trillion in Student Loans, and over $10 trillion in other consumer debt. How can we help people make faster progress on paying down debt but also using it wisely to open new opportunities?
Similarly, 40% of Americans cannot afford a $400 emergency without going into debt; millions have credit scores so low they cannot access funds to buy a car or home; and millions need direction on their finances to achieve their dreams.
How can we use our scale as a company and our vantage point (insight into the debt of 80M+ Americans) to launch products that address these problems, making Credit Karma the essential destination to make financial progress?
