Company Description
Candidly was founded in 2016 to flip the script on what it means to plan, borrow, repay, and save for college. Today, we’re the category leader with the market’s most comprehensive AI-driven student debt and savings optimization platform. We partner with hundreds of top employers, financial institutions, and retirement record keepers, positioning Candidly to serve more than 35 million Americans.
We’re already achieving incredible results — to date, we’ve helped our users get on track to eliminate more than $1.8B in student debt and pay off their loans 175,000 years quicker — and we’re seeking movers, shakers, innovators, and problem solvers to help take our mission even further.
Candidly is a high-growth, Series B startup, funded by leading investors including Altos Ventures, Aflac, Salesforce Ventures, UBS, Equal Opportunity Ventures, Impact Engine, Rethink Impact, Unum, and Cercano Management. Our fully remote, international team of 70 (and counting) includes alumni from Google, UBS, Twitter, Plaid, Prudential, LendingTree, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and more.
Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Delivery pod, the team responsible for getting the Candidly platform into the hands of employers and their employees as quickly and cost-efficiently as possible. This team owns the core infrastructure that powers employer onboarding, census management, HRIS integrations, SSO configurations, and partner-specific platform delivery. You'll define how we scale our delivery engine from high-touch enterprise implementations to streamlined, self-service SMB launches — all while maintaining the reliability and compliance our financial institution partners require.
This is a B2B2C role. Our partners are large financial institutions and retirement recordkeepers (think Vanguard, Bank of America, Lincoln Financial, Empower). They distribute Candidly to their employer clients, who in turn serve their employees. You need to understand that full chain and build systems that work at every layer.
This role requires someone who is AI-enabled — you actively use AI tools (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate your work, from writing specs to analyzing data to prototyping solutions. We expect you to bring a force-multiplier mindset: leveraging AI to move faster, think deeper, and ship better products.

Why Candidly?
We're building the future of financial wellness — helping people tackle student debt, plan for college, and maximize their benefits. The Delivery pod is the engine that makes it all real: every employer we launch, every employee we reach, starts here. If you want to build systems that scale impact and move fast in a mission-driven company, this is the role.
