About the role

Column moves over $4 trillion a year for some of the most sophisticated fintechs and financial institutions in the world. In this role, you’ll be the person who makes sure that volume stays safe — and you'll be the first Product Manager Column has ever hired to do it.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years in a high agency, fast moving role. Examples could be product management or an adjacent role at a high-growth startup or tech company, top-tier management consulting firm, or investment firm
  • A track record of taking a messy, undefined problem and turning it into something that actually shipped — not just a plan for it
  • Ability to get technical very quickly. While we don’t expect you to be a CS major, you should feel comfortable in the terminal, using Claude code or similar tools, and understanding how to architect solutions out yourself
  • Strong analytical instincts — comfortable working with data, metrics, and operational details at a granular level
  • Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude with zero ego when it comes to getting your hands dirty to build a product
  • Familiarity with banking and fintech preferred, but not required — genuine curiosity about becoming an expert in this space, however, is a must
More about this role

For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.

At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
