From Column National Association's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors.
All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
The opportunity
Column moves over $4 trillion a year for some of the most sophisticated fintechs and financial institutions in the world. In this role, you’ll be the person who makes sure that volume stays safe — and you'll be the first Product Manager Column has ever hired to do it.
There's no existing roadmap to inherit, no legacy backlog, no "how we've always done it." You’ll be defining what product management looks like at Column, starting with one of the most consequential challenges the company is facing: turning risk from a manual, tribal-knowledge function into a real internal product — the infrastructure that lets Column say yes to more volume, more partners, and more markets without opening the door to fraudsters, criminal networks, or state adversaries.
What you build will have a direct impact on Column’s growth trajectory and how fast we can move as a business.
This role will live within our Product & Engineering org and is based in-person at our Presidio office in San Francisco (3-4 days a week).
4+ years in a high agency, fast moving role. Examples could be product management or an adjacent role at a high-growth startup or tech company, top-tier management consulting firm, or investment firm.
A track record of taking a messy, undefined problem and turning it into something that actually shipped — not just a plan for it
Ability to get technical very quickly. While we don’t expect you to be a CS major, you should feel comfortable in the terminal, using Claude code or similar tools, and understanding how to architect solutions out yourself.
Strong analytical instincts — comfortable working with data, metrics, and operational details at a granular level.
Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude with zero ego when it comes to getting your hands dirty to build a product
Familiarity with banking and fintech preferred, but not required — genuine curiosity about becoming an expert in this space, however, is a must
🏥 Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you and 100% covered for your dependents!
Compensation
Compensation packages at Column include base salary, equity, and benefits. New hire offers are made based on a candidate's experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.
The annual base salary range for this position is $140,000 - $220,000 + equity.
We look forward to hearing from you
