Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.
Here at Relay, our Product Team is responsible for shaping our small business banking platform; we dive deep into the problems and pain points of our customers to marry their needs with those of our business and the capabilities of technology.
We’re looking for a Staff Product Manager to play a key part in building not only the product, but our internal product strategy. You will be a vital part of problem solving for our customers and building out our team norms and processes internally. You will identify and scope the highest priority issues to tackle and work with our designers and engineers to ideate, design and deliver exceptional product experiences, while also helping shape how the product organization operates at Relay.
