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 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 out of our offices. 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
Your role will be to lead growth experimentation at Varo. You will develop processes and frameworks to do experimentation at scale to achieve ambitious business outcomes. You’ll work with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and data analysts to optimize key conversion funnels across user acquisition, activation, retention, monetization, churn mitigation, and upsells. You will play a key role in helping us achieve our customer acquisition and engagement goals.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead and facilitate a cross-functional team to design and execute experiments that improve key funnel conversion rates, e.g. sign up, card activation, funding
  • Set the direction, objectives, and shape of the growth experimentation program at Varo
  • Develop and maintain quantitative and visual growth models
  • Own and maintain an ongoing experiments backlog, including doing rigorous prioritization based on expected value
  • Be the subject matter expert and owner for growth experimentation at Varo
  • Collaborate with team members and stakeholders in Design, Engineering, Marketing, Research, and Strategy to build bar-raising experiences
  • Roll up your sleeves to remove barriers and obstacles hindering the team's ability to ship
  • Closely monitor the impact of your efforts and adapt quickly as needed
  • Represent Varo’s Growth Team internally and externally

    • PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES THAT'LL HELP YOU BE GREAT

  • You have 6+ years of experience as a product manager at a tech company, including 4+ years within a Growth team
  • Experience with testing and launch of consumer software products and features 
  • Track record of delivering solutions to market that have driven tangible improvements to customer experience and business metrics
  • Indirectly managing or working closely with marketing, engineering, and design team members
  • Experience shipping complex products in a fast-growing company; bonus if it was in a space where you needed to collaborate with compliance
  • Strong execution capability and ability to drive work to completion
  • You love collaborating and have the ability to influence and communicate with stakeholders of all backgrounds and levels
  • An analytical mindset with the ability to analyze and manipulate data

    • THE THREE SKILLS THAT MATTER MOST 
    Nobody can be great at everything, but we’re looking for candidates who exemplify the following: 
  • Rigor for metrics-you have commitment to a process for extracting answers out of ambiguous questions and situations
  • Product intuition-you’ve honed the skill of identifying great design, user experience and providing feedback
  • Bias to action-you feel an urgency to unblock yourself and others to deliver great product to customers
    • 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. 

    Varo. A bank for all of us.
