Varo is an entirely new kind of bank. All digital, mission-driven, FDIC insured, and designed for the way our customers live their lives.
A bank for all of us.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT TEAM
Varo’s product team is a cornerstone of the culture and the app experiences that our customers interact with on a daily basis. We’re responsible for making sure the products we ship provide innovative solutions that solve real problems for people.

We appreciate the value of getting into the mental models of our customers and empathizing with both their achievements and pain points to create better products. We bring together cross-functional teams to act on a combination of qualitative and quantitative data to meet our customer needs and commercial plans. We thrive on feedback and push to always up our game—but try to never take ourselves too seriously.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a Product Manager to help grow the customer experience, segmentation, analytics, and profitability associated with Varo’s Savings and Elevated Savings Program.

The Varo Savings Account allows Varo customers to save their hard earned money with assistance from features such as Save Your Change and Save Your Pay. The Varo Savings Account is the gateway to driving acquisition and deepening engagement with our customer base, as our customers often have ambitious savings goals they’d like to achieve by partnering with Varo as their primary bank. 

Given the program’s importance to the customer and the company, it’s vital that we continue to pursue ways to make the Savings Account, and the experiences surrounding it, a source of customer delight while optimizing commercial profitability.

    • About Varo
    We're on a mission to bring financial inclusion and opportunity to all hard-working Americans. Through our mobile app, we offer premium bank accounts that have no minimum balance requirement or monthly account fees, high-interest savings accounts, short-term lending, and solutions to help customers stretch their paycheck, build credit and start saving. Our tech-first products are designed to make money work for everyone and help customers and communities build greater financial resiliency.

    Varo is distinct from other fintechs: we've made history as the first and only consumer fintech to be granted a full national bank charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

    Varo Bank represents the evolution of a new generation of banks that are born from innovation and built on technology to empower consumers and businesses.

    Our team combines the best of both consumer tech and banking, and we’re wildly passionate about helping our customers. Our teams are based in San Francisco and Salt Lake City. Privately held, we’ve raised over $482M to date, from leading institutional investors and strategic partners including Warburg Pincus, The Rise Fund, Gallatin Point Capital, Harbourvest Partners, Progressive Insurance, and Russell Westbrook Enterprises.

    Varo is entrepreneurial, collaborative, enthusiastic, customer-oriented, fast-paced, and multicultural.  This is an open and relatively flat organization that puts an emphasis on collaboration, sharing ideas and information. For a relatively early-stage company, Varo is grounded in a strong set of values and takes pride in the diversity of its employees and board. 

    Varo. A bank for all of us.
