Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
Trust is foundational to everything we do. As Affirm scales globally, protecting our consumers, merchants, and platform from fraud —while maintaining a seamless, friendly experience—is critical to our mission.
As a Senior Product Manager for Trust & Safety (Fraud), you will play a key role in building and scaling systems, experiences, and policies that keep Affirm safe for consumers and merchants worldwide. As we expand in both geographical markets and product offerings, your direct role in enabling the scaling becomes especially critical.
In this role, you will work closely with a broad set of cross-functional partners across Engineering, Fraud Analytics, Legal, Compliance, Operations, and your counterparts in other Product and International teams. Effective stakeholder management and the ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics are essential. You should be high-agency, comfortable with ambiguity, and confident engaging in technical and data-driven discussions.

Own Affirm's fraud product roadmap, orchestrating across customer-facing use cases, decision platforms, vendors, and ML models
Build scalable fraud prevention infrastructure that supports Affirm’s growth across merchants, consumers, and international markets
Drive product development by partnering closely with Engineering, Design, Analytics, Operations, and Customer Support teams
Define and establish metrics that provide clear insight into the effectiveness of fraud prevention products, balancing loss prevention, customer experience, and business impact
Use data, experimentation, and customer feedback to continuously iterate on risk controls, detection systems, and user-facing experiences
Deliver industry-leading fraud prevention solutions by combining strong business judgment with thoughtful product strategy and principled tradeoff-making

BA/BS in a technical, analytical, or quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience
Minimum of either:
- 5+ years of Product Management experience, or

Comfort working with complex data, dashboards, and experimentation frameworks to drive insight and decision making
