SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER / TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER

DESCRIPTION

Do you aspire to scale tech for a company changing the payments and savings landscape for user’s lifelong aspirations? Does the opportunity to work cross-functionally with a fast-moving venture-backed startup excite you? Do you want to see your effort directly impact users on a daily basis?

As a Sr. Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will be responsible for driving features from start until deployment by balancing business needs amidst technical constraints. You also thrive in an ambiguous startup world where there is a need to anticipate road-blocks and balance priorities while still able to produce results.   

ABOUT US 

Reel is a platform that empowers financial independence by enabling users to automatize savings for their aspirations- essentially unlocking “save-to-buy”.  Our mission is to make aspiration accessible to all by allowing users to create saving plans for items across the web. Using Reel’s proprietary saving mechanism, users inculcate positive financial hygiene through minimal planning and guilt-free purchasing that empowers them for life, while avoiding unnecessary debt in the process. Users have saved for a slew of goals - i.e. pair of Yeezys, pre-release PS5’s, Gucci handbags, and vacations abroad - featured on the platform, across the web, or generic goals created by users. It's easy, users set their daily/ weekly saving amounts and we process their saving transactions and finally ship the item once saved in full. We’re going a step further by providing storefronts and retailers this capability for their users. 

We are a startup team that thinks out of the box while being grounded in a user’s current way of doing things. We are a team that believes in constantly learning and evolving. The 4 qualities we value are: Proactivity, Resilience, Positiveness and Trust. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be the central hub for all our engineering efforts, across our customer-facing touchpoints (parner PDP’s, web-app, plugins and others in the works). Starting from the ground up, you will work closely with our external partners, SDE’s, and PM’s to own and build best in class tech in tight cycles. This includes developing and owning technical processes and timelines, understanding constraints and trade-offs, and delivering through consensus building. You will spend time planning multiple technical features while managing others that are in-flight and structure engineering effort in an optimal way to deliver business value. 

This is high ownership and high visibility role and you will constantly be in touch with the leadership team in a flat, highly performant organization.
