The Product Manager, Core Experience will lead product strategy across Home, core surfaces, and account management, owning product development from discovery through iteration and guiding cross-functional teams to improve customer engagement and retention.
Responsibilities
- Own the surfaces that help customers see their financial progress, understand what matters next, and stay motivated to keep growing — anchored by Home as the heart of the customer relationship
- Define a coherent engagement model across these surfaces so customers experience Acorns as one connected journey, not a collection of individual products
- Develop deep fluency in how customer needs change across the financial journey — from getting started to building momentum, falling off track, and recovering — and use that understanding to identify the experiences that help customers keep progressing
- Lead product work end to end, from discovery and strategy through delivery, measurement, and iteration, with a high degree of autonomy and ownership
- Shape how partner teams show up across shared surfaces, ensuring new experiences strengthen the broader customer journey rather than fragment it
- Lead cross-functional teams across design, engineering, data, legal and compliance, and marketing to ship and iterate on experiences that deepen engagement and retention
- Design and run experiments to test assumptions, identify what meaningfully improves long-term engagement, and use those learnings to advance retention goals
Skills
- 5-7 years of product management experience, with a track record of building consumer experiences that drive repeat engagement and deepen customer relationships over time
- Heart-led and customer-obsessed, bringing genuine empathy to the work and a deep curiosity about what motivates people to build and sustain healthy financial habits
- Bias for speed and action, making sound decisions amid ambiguity and moving quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality and craft
- Proven analytical rigor, knowing which metrics matter, analyzing performance with depth, and using data to drive decisions and hold teams accountable
- Strong technical fluency, understanding the systems behind your features well enough to ask the right questions, make good tradeoffs, and ensure the right solution gets built
- Hands-on with AI tools, using them actively to prototype ideas, pressure-test scenarios, and synthesize research to accelerate the product development process
- Hunger to deliver game-changing products
- Exceptional drive and precision in delivery
- A belief that your work is tied to your life's mission
- Optimistic about the potential of societal change
