About The Product
Zeta is building a new consumer banking product for the US market. The focus is learning fast which features drive adoption, engagement and retention — and building them well.
About The Role
You'll help grow the product through a steady cadence of experiments and feature launches. Each PM owns a business-outcome metric for one area of the product, and the roadmap that moves it. Example areas: onboarding and activation, engagement and retention, revenue, and trust and risk.
We need a hustler. The work will feel like a very early-stage startup: ambiguous problems, incomplete information, shifting priorities and no playbook. You'll bring structure to the chaos: find the answers, make the calls and get things shipped.
We expect PMs to use AI tools across the lifecycle — research, specs, prototyping, analysis — to keep iteration cycles short. PMs here go deep on how things are built, so hands-on software development experience is mandatory.
Responsibilities
Own a metric
Own a business-outcome metric for your area, plus the guardrail metrics it must not trade away
Keep a ranked backlog of experiments and features, prioritised by expected impact (RICE, ICE or similar)
Run experiments
Write each bet as a hypothesis with a primary metric, guardrails and a decision rule, all set before launch
Match the method to the traffic: A/B tests and holdouts at scale; fake doors, usability tests and cohort analysis at low volume
Size tests properly, report null and negative results as plainly as wins, and make the ship, iterate or kill call
Keep a running log of what was tested, what was learned and what changed
Build features
Take features from problem definition through spec, build, QA, launch and adoption
Write specs engineers can build from: flows, edge cases, failure states, event instrumentation and acceptance criteria
Work through technical design with engineering — APIs, data models, ledger and payment flows, third-party integrations — and make trade-off calls quickly
Measure
Define output metrics (acquisition, activation, revenue, engagement) and the input metrics that drive them (funnel conversion, feature usage)
Own event instrumentation and data quality for your area
Do your own analysis in SQL, product analytics tools (such as Mixpanel, Amplitude or MoEngage) and BI tools (such as Metabase or Superset)
Research users
Run continuous discovery with US customers through remote interviews, usability tests and surveys
Turn what you hear and what the data shows into clear problem statements that feed the backlog
Shape the UX
Partner with designers on simple flows that earn users' trust
Own product copy for your area
Launch and support
Ship behind feature flags and in stages, with monitoring and a rollback plan
Work with compliance, risk, banking partners, operations and support so every launch meets regulatory requirements and can be supported from day one
Skills
Statistics and experiment design: hypothesis testing, significance, power and sample sizing, and common traps such as peeking and novelty effects
Strong SQL, and fluency with product analytics and BI tools
Ability to work through messy data sets and turn them into decisions
Engineering fundamentals you still use: reading code, system design, APIs and data models
A keen eye for design, and strong UX writing
Clear written and verbal communication — specs and experiment readouts people can act on
Meticulous program management across parallel workstreams
Hands-on experience with user research
Experience And Qualifications
6+ years of total experience, including: 3-4 years in product management, with features shipped and measured in production. At least 3 years of hands-on software development, writing and shipping production code as an engineer. This is mandatory
A track record of experiments that changed a product decision
Preferred: consumer fintech, payments or banking experience, ideally in the US
Preferred: B2C products with a growth or experimentation focus
Equal Opportunity
Zeta is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds, cultures, and communities to apply and believe that a diverse workforce is key to our success
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
