Associate Product Manager

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 Associate Product Manager to join our small-but-mighty Product team. This role is ideal for someone in the early stages of their product career - whether this is your first formal PM role or your second - who’s ready to take on real ownership, build strong fundamentals, and grow alongside experienced product leaders.

You’ll work closely with our Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, and directly with our CEO and co-founder, supporting both our consumer-facing experiences and our B2B platform. This is a hands-on role where you’ll contribute meaningfully across discovery, delivery, and iteration - while learning how product decisions get made in a fast-paced Series A environment.

Our goal is for this role to be a true launchpad: building the skills, judgment, and confidence needed for long-term growth in product at Clerkie or beyond.

• Added our voice to the evolving product strategy and roadmap, helping shape how Clerkie and Fiber deliver value across every touchpoint
• Helped clean up and organize Coda, our internal knowledge hub, to make life easier for future new hires (like you!)
• Onboarded a new teammate to the Product team and updated internal rituals to set them up for success
• Spent the day on a private yacht in the Bahamas (yep), swimming with pigs, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and joining our team hackathon on a private island
• And more! From big wins to team traditions, it’s been a month - and we’re just getting started 😎

• Interest in building a career in Product
• Top-notch communication and organization skills
• Ability to think in systems, break down complex ideas, and prioritize clearly
• Curiosity, humility, and a desire to learn from others
• Motivation to own your work and grow fast
• A collaborative spirit and appreciation for feedback
• Comfort working independently in a remote environment

• Prior experience in a tech company, startup, or product-adjacent role
• Familiarity with Agile, Jira, Coda, or Figma
• Background in CS, business, design, analytics, or another relevant field
• A basic understanding of how software gets built (or a desire to learn)
• Passion for financial wellness, tech-for-good, or startup life

• 💰 Salary range: $90-110k
