Our mission is to make higher education accessible and affordable for everyone. We empower students with financial support and supercharge their ability to pay down their debt, so they can get on the right financial track, fast.
We build tools that help people feel in control of their financial future, including:
- Private student loans - low rates, people-first service, and flexible payments.

What makes an “Earnie” culture:
- Drivers – Drivers are satisfied by making things happen, not coming along for the ride. They feel a strong sense of ownership for their projects and teams and demand high standards from themselves and others.
- Humility – Humble team players check their egos and consider the team’s needs above their own. They are self-aware of their strengths and opportunities for improvement.
- Growth Mindset – People with a growth mindset approach challenges and failures as learning opportunities. They seek feedback to improve, give feedback to others, and genuinely want to perform well.
The Senior Technical Program Manager position will report to the Director of PMO.
As the Senior Technical Program Manager, you will:
- Create Program Plans that are aligned to company OKRs and based on data from product roadmaps, Jira, and any other sources that include dates/milestones.

- Conduct post-program reviews to identify areas for improvement and facilitate productive meetings.
- Typically work on programs with team sizes of 10 to 30, multiple business stakeholders, and significant new technologies or delivery approaches.
Your Impact:
- Work closely with Leadership to build a comprehensive, top-down, high-level plan aligned to the goals and objectives of the Lending Pillar.
- Partner with the Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Design Leads to help drive Programs as well as to help resolve impediments, provide coaching where needed, and manage risks and issues.
- Create a culture of “inspect and adapt” within the TPMO team by identifying areas of improvement.
About You:
- 3+ years of professional experience and 3 years managing mid to large-size projects.
- Strong analytical and change management skills, as well as mastery of project management methodologies.
- Excellent communication, time management, and organization skills.
- Demonstrated ability to build constructive relationships with team members and stakeholders, negotiate and gain commitment, and practice empathy.
Even Better:
- Fintech industry experience.
- PMP, CSM, CSPO or other Agile Certification.
Where:
- This role will be based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- While you’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work, we also love to see our Earnies face-to-face! We ask you to join us at our Oakland office for 3 consecutive days a month for team collaboration and some fun. It's a chance to connect, share ideas, and maybe even grab some coffee together!
