Senior Product Manager, Family

Money is the tool that decides how much of life people get to live on their own terms. For over a decade, Acorns has helped millions of everyday Americans start investing — often for the first time in their lives. Most of the finance industry profits by encouraging people to spend, trade, and borrow more. We built our business on the opposite bet: that helping people invest, save, and build wealth over the long term is both the right thing to do and the better business.

Now we're building that same belief into the next generation. We think every kid should grow up already knowing how to invest, not learning it the hard way at 30. That's a genuinely new category of product — not a feature bolted onto a banking app — and we're looking for a Senior Product Manager to help build it from the ground up.

Acorns is a remote-first organization, offering the flexibility to work remotely while providing optional access to office space in Irvine, CA.

You'll own how families discover, adopt, and grow with Acorns' family investing products — from the moment a parent first encounters what we offer through building it into a lasting habit. You'll set the strategy for that experience and bring it to leadership to align on the biggest bets. You'll shape a vision across parents, teens, and kids—making earning, investing, and building wealth feel natural from an early age.
