About The Role

LendingClub is expanding its use of AI to improve customer outcomes, operational efficiency, and business performance. We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager, Applied AI to help bring high-impact AI use cases into production and scale them effectively across the organization.

This is an execution-first role. You’ll partner closely with product, engineering, data, and operations teams to identify practical AI opportunities, ship solutions, and ensure they deliver measurable results.

You’re an excellent product manager first and foremost, with hands-on experience applying AI in real-world systems. You’re curious, technical enough to engage deeply, and motivated to make AI useful, not just impressive.

What You'll Do

Identify & Deliver High-Impact Use Cases

• Work with teams to identify where AI can meaningfully improve products or operations
• Evaluate opportunities based on impact, feasibility, and ability to measure outcomes
• Focus on a small number of high-value initiatives and drive them to production

Own Execution End-to-End

• PM or co-PM AI-enabled initiatives from concept through launch
• Define success metrics and ensure outcomes are realized post-launch
• Partner closely with engineering and data teams on solution design and tradeoffs

Apply AI Thoughtfully

• Help teams determine when AI is the right tool and when it isn’t
• Balance speed with quality and responsibility in a regulated environment
• Contribute to best practices for building and shipping AI-enabled products

Uplevel the Organization

• Share knowledge and practical guidance on applying AI across product teams
• Lead lightweight enablement efforts (e.g., demos, lunch & learns, internal tooling)
• Help raise the baseline fluency and effectiveness of PMs working with AI

What Success Looks Like

• More of the right problems are being solved with AI — and reaching production faster
• High-impact AI use cases are shipped and delivering measurable results
• Teams are more effective at identifying and executing AI opportunities
• AI-enabled features and workflows are reaching production faster
• Product teams demonstrate increasing confidence and capability in applying AI

About You

• 6+ years of product management experience in fintech, financial services, or complex platforms
• Proven track record shipping AI/ML-enabled products or workflows into production
• Strong product judgment and ability to prioritize and make tradeoffs
• Technical fluency to work closely with engineers, data scientists, and architects
• Experience in regulated environments is a strong plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

AI Experience & Mindset

• You’ve been actively using AI tools both professionally and personally for years
• You’ve built or experimented with AI-driven projects beyond basic prompting
• You’re curious, hands-on, and constantly exploring how AI can improve real workflows

Bonus

• Highly technically fluent: able to engage deeply with engineers, understand system tradeoffs, and contribute to solution design
• Background in CS, data science, engineering, analytics, or similar is helpful, but not required
• Experience working with operational or cross-functional teams at scale

Why Join

• You’ll play a key role in turning AI into a practical advantage at LendingClub - helping teams ship better products, improve operations, and deliver meaningful outcomes for millions of members.
