### About the Product

Zeta is building a new consumer banking product for the US market. The focus is 
learning fast which features drive adoption, engagement and retention — and building
them well.

### About the Role

You’ll help grow the product through a steady cadence of experiments and feature
launches. Each PM owns a business-outcome metric for one area of the product, and
the roadmap that moves it. Example areas: onboarding and activation, engagement 
and retention, revenue, and trust and risk.

We need a hustler. The work will feel like a very early-stage startup: ambiguous
problems, incomplete information, shifting priorities and no playbook. You’ll bring
structure to the chaos: find the answers, make the calls and get things shipped.

We expect PMs to use AI tools across the lifecycle — research, specs, prototyping,
analysis — to keep iteration cycles short. PMs here go deep on how things are built,
so hands-on software development experience is mandatory.

### Responsibilities

### 1. Own a metric

 * Own a business-outcome metric for your area, plus the guardrail metrics it must
   not trade away.
 * Keep a ranked backlog of experiments and features, prioritised by expected impact(
   RICE, ICE or similar).

### 2. Run experiments

 * Write each bet as a hypothesis with a primary metric, guardrails and a decision
   rule, all set before launch.
 * Match the method to the traffic: A/B tests and holdouts at scale; fake doors,
   usability tests and cohort analysis at low volume.
 * Size tests properly, report null and negative results as plainly as wins, and
   make the ship, iterate or kill call.
 * Keep a running log of what was tested, what was learned and what changed.

### 3. Build features

 * Take features from problem definition through spec, build, QA, launch and adoption.
 * Write specs engineers can build from: flows, edge cases, failure states, event
   instrumentation and acceptance criteria.
 * Work through technical design with engineering — APIs, data models, ledger and
   payment flows, third-party integrations — and make trade-off calls quickly.

### 4. Measure

 * Define output metrics (acquisition, activation, revenue, engagement) and the 
   input metrics that drive them (funnel conversion, feature usage).
 * Own event instrumentation and data quality for your area.
 * Do your own analysis in SQL, product analytics tools (such as Mixpanel, Amplitude
   or MoEngage) and BI tools (such as Metabase or Superset).

### 5. Research users

 * Run continuous discovery with US customers through remote interviews, usability
   tests and surveys.
 * Turn what you hear and what the data shows into clear problem statements that
   feed the backlog.

### 6. Shape the UX

 * Partner with designers on simple flows that earn users’ trust.
 * Own product copy for your area.

### 7. Launch and support

 * Ship behind feature flags and in stages, with monitoring and a rollback plan.
 * Work with compliance, risk, banking partners, operations and support so every
   launch meets regulatory requirements and can be supported from day one.

### Skills

 * Statistics and experiment design: hypothesis testing, significance, power and
   sample sizing, and common traps such as peeking and novelty effects.
 * Strong SQL, and fluency with product analytics and BI tools.
 * Ability to work through messy data sets and turn them into decisions.
 * Engineering fundamentals you still use: reading code, system design, APIs and
   data models.
 * A keen eye for design, and strong UX writing.
 * Clear written and verbal communication — specs and experiment readouts people
   can act on.
 * Meticulous program management across parallel workstreams.
 * Hands-on experience with user research.

### Experience and Qualifications

 * 6+ years of total experience, including: 3–4 years in product management, with
   features shipped and measured in production. At least 3 years of hands-on software
   development, writing and shipping production code as an engineer. **This is mandatory.**
 * A track record of experiments that changed a product decision.
 * Preferred: consumer fintech, payments or banking experience, ideally in the US.
 * Preferred: B2C products with a growth or experimentation focus.

### Equal Opportunity

Zeta is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed 
to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We encourage applicants 
from all backgrounds, cultures, and communities to apply and believe that a diverse
