Description

The Opportunity
Wonderschool is solving one of the most critical market problems in the U.S.: childcare access and affordability. We’re building an AI-powered platform that enables providers to operate financially sustainable childcare businesses at scale.
We’ve raised over $50M from Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and other top investors, and are a Series B company focused on product growth and operational leverage.
As Product Manager for Fintech & Payments, you will own core financial products that drive usage, revenue, and profitability. You’ll move fast, identify and ship high-leverage product improvements, and create tools that providers prefer over any alternative. This role is ideal for someone with strong product instincts, a builder’s mindset, and a clear focus on measurable business impact.

What You’ll Own

  • Lead product development for tuition payments and other provider-facing financial tools
  • Grow total payments volume, product adoption, and net revenue
  • Improve provider NPS and reduce friction across the billing experience
  • Drive profitability and improve unit economics through product and pricing strategy
  • Work end-to-end with engineering, design, and data to ship features weekly
  • Talk to providers every week and turn insights into product decisions
  • Use modeling, experimentation, and data to drive prioritization and iteration
  • Scale internal workflows and product surfaces using AI and automation tools

What You’ll Need

  • Strong product judgment and an instinct for what users want
  • Background as a software engineer or ability to work deeply with engineering teams
  • Experience with payments, fintech, or in a high-bar finance role (e.g., investing, banking)
  • Proven track record of delivering 0→1 products that generate measurable financial results
  • Strong analytical thinking; can model impact and drive decisions with data (SQL or similar is a plus)
  • Extreme ownership and urgency - ships fast, iterates constantly, and fixes broken experiences
  • Bias toward outcomes - knows how to set and hit aggressive goals
  • Interest in small business empowerment, with a preference for those who’ve built or supported business owners
  • Based in our office in Rincon Hill, San Francisco, working in-office 5-6 days a week

What Success Looks Like

  • Payments volume and adoption grow significantly month-over-month
  • Providers prefer our financial tools and use them to grow their income
  • Unit economics improve meaningfully through product changes
  • High NPS and reduced support load signal strong usability and product-market fit
  • You identify quick wins, iterate fast, and consistently ship value

Why Join Wonderschool

  • We operate with urgency, clarity, and focus. As a Series B company with significant capital and a rapidly growing customer base, we’re building real products that generate revenue and deliver economic value. If you care about solving hard financial problems and want to build with speed and ownership - you’ll thrive here. The role's base salary starts at $140,000, includes equity, is negotiable and aligns to the appropriate experience of the individual.

How You'll Work

  • You are expected to use agentic tools like Claude Code, Hermes, and OpenClaw to build loops that automate the product management cycle - gathering feedback, developing prototypes, running tests, and shipping to production - both on your own and with your team.
  • You go where customers are to learn. That means showing up at events on nights and weekends when needed - farmers markets, parent events, and community gatherings - and doing the work to understand customers firsthand.
