Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
We are looking for a strategic and inspiring Senior Director of Product Marketing to lead our go-to-market strategy and narrative development across Affirm’s commerce, payments, and merchant ecosystem.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role — ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of storytelling, systems thinking, and strategy, and who can build scalable programs that connect market insights to product decisions.
