Senior/Staff Product Manager - Automotive FinTech & Digital Retailing

We're looking for an exceptional Senior/Staff Product Manager who brings deep automotive industry expertise, a passion for building innovative software, and an entrepreneurial mindset. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of automotive retailing, financing, and AI-powered commerce.

As a Senior/Staff Product Manager, you will drive product strategy, innovation, and execution across critical areas of our automotive technology platform, including Desking, Lending, Finance & Insurance (F&I), Leasing, Digital Retailing, and eCommerce.
We need someone who understands the complexities of the automotive buying and financing journey—from structuring deals and calculating payments to lender integrations, credit applications, financing options, and the digital customer experience.

You are a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves, solving complex problems, and shipping products that deliver measurable business results.
AI isn't just something you're curious about—it's something you actively use every day. You embrace AI to accelerate research, product discovery, analysis, prototyping, and execution. You are constantly exploring how AI can transform both the products we build and the way we work.

This role is ideal for a product leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, operates with a startup mentality, and takes full ownership from concept through launch and optimization.

Own and drive product vision, strategy, and roadmaps for key areas of AutoFi's automotive retailing and financing platform.
Lead complex, high-impact product initiatives spanning dealerships, lenders, consumers, and technology partners.
Identify market opportunities, emerging technologies, and competitive advantages within automotive FinTech and digital retailing.
Translate business objectives, customer needs, and industry trends into actionable product strategies.
Influence product direction and cross-functional priorities through strong communication, data, and business judgment.
Operate as a senior individual contributor, providing thought leadership and mentorship across the Product organization.

Leverage deep experience in one or more of the following automotive software domains:
Automotive Desking and Deal Structuring
Indirect Auto Lending and Loan Origination
Automotive Finance & Insurance (F&I)
Vehicle Leasing, Residual Values, and Payment Calculations
Digital Retailing and Automotive eCommerce
Dealer Management Systems (DMS) and Third-Party Integrations
Understand dealership workflows, lender requirements, compliance considerations, and consumer purchasing experiences.
Partner with dealership customers, lenders, and internal stakeholders to identify friction points and develop scalable solutions.
Build products that simplify complex automotive transactions while improving dealer efficiency, consumer conversion, and financing outcomes.

Use AI tools daily to improve productivity, accelerate product development, and make better-informed decisions.
Integrate AI into everyday product management workflows, including customer research, competitive analysis, requirements development, data analysis, and prototyping.
Identify opportunities to embed AI, automation, and intelligent decision-making into AutoFi's product offerings.
Collaborate with Engineering and Design to explore AI-powered features that create meaningful customer and business value.
Continuously experiment with emerging AI technologies and champion practical AI adoption across the organization.

Lead end-to-end product development, from discovery and business case development through launch and iteration.
Work closely with Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer Success, and executive leadership to deliver high-quality solutions.
Develop clear product requirements, user stories, workflows, and acceptance criteria.
Make thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, quality, technical complexity, and business impact.
Define and monitor KPIs, including adoption, conversion, transaction completion, revenue impact, and customer satisfaction.
Use data, customer feedback, and experimentation to continuously optimize product performance.

You're an Automotive Expert. You understand how dealerships sell cars, how consumers finance them, and how technology can improve the entire process.
You're AI-Forward. You don't wait for someone to tell you how to use AI. You actively experiment, learn, and incorporate it into your daily work.
You're a Builder. You enjoy turning complex problems into intuitive, scalable products that customers love.
You Think Strategically and Execute Tactically. You can define a compelling long-term vision and dive into the details required to make it happen.
You Have a Startup Mentality. You move with urgency, embrace ambiguity, challenge the status quo, and take ownership of results.
You're a Collaborative Leader. You influence teams, build alignment, and drive results without relying on formal authority.

At AutoFi, you'll have the opportunity to help shape the future of automotive commerce and financing. You'll work on meaningful industry challenges, collaborate with talented teams, and build technology that directly impacts dealerships, lenders, and consumers.
If you're passionate about automotive technology, energized by the possibilities of AI, and thrive in an environment where innovation and execution go hand in hand, we'd love to hear from you.
