Method has built a modern API platform connecting consumer financial accounts with real-time liability connectivity and instant payment execution. The company has helped 45+ million users connect 350+ million liability accounts and processed over $2.5B in payments. One in three US credit cards flows through Method's ecosystem, with customers including SoFi, Bilt, Cleo, Sezzle, Figure, and Aven. The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, and others, with 50+ employees across Austin, SF, NYC, and DC.
As Forward Deployed Product Manager, you will be the dedicated product partner for Method's most strategic accounts. You'll work directly with senior product leaders at these customers to understand their ambitions, identify new opportunities, and develop a clear point of view on what's possible with Method's platform. You'll own the full journey from initial conversation through launch, bringing together Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success teams.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning strategic product relationships with Method's largest accounts, identifying and building new initiatives and revenue opportunities
- Collaborating directly with customers' Chief Product Officers and product leaders, becoming their first call for anything involving Method
- Orchestrating the full account team (Sales, Customer Success, Implementation, Engineering) to bring initiatives to life
- Proactively testing new ideas with customers early, learning from feedback, and iterating quickly
- Helping define the playbook for forward-deployed coverage as the model expands
- Working cross-functionally to guide strategy on maximizing value from existing integrations
This role combines product strategy, deep customer relationships, and resourcefulness. You'll test ideas early, turn feedback into concrete next steps, and stay accountable for outcomes. As an early member of this team, you'll help define how Method partners with its largest customers.
The company expects a regular in-person presence at one of its hubs (NYC, Austin, SF, or DC) with a minimum of 2-3 days per week in office on average. Embedded flexibility exists for occasional remote work, but full-time remote is not an option.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Background in consulting, client services, customer success, solutions, or account management with demonstrated comfort in front of senior customers
- Product instincts, either as a PM or through a track record of shaping what gets built from the customer side
- Technical fluency sufficient to discuss APIs, data flows, and performance tradeoffs with engineers and product leaders
- Ability to stay with hard problems and move forward without a perfect plan
- Default to action: test ideas with customers rather than over-planning
- Taste and commitment to doing work the right way
- Ability to operate both reactively (customer ideas) and proactively (your own ideas)
- Current use of AI tools to move faster in day-to-day work
EXTRA AWESOME (preferred):
- Experience at a fintech, lending, payments, or financial data company (e.g., Plaid, Stripe, Cash App, SoFi)
- Background at a top consulting firm before moving into an operator role (CS, bizops, solutions, or product)
- Exposure to lending, underwriting, or credit data
