Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
Affirm's primary business is lending, and the Loans Lifecycle domain is responsible for maintaining the system of record for all loans at Affirm. As we scale into new geographies, products, and funding structures, the complexity and criticality of this domain continues to grow. We are seeking to hire a Director to lead the Loans Lifecycle engineering organization, spanning the Loans Platform, Ledger Engineering, and Financial Reporting teams.
- Set the vision and drive execution for the Loans Lifecycle engineering organization at Affirm, encompassing Loans Platform, Ledger Engineering, and Financial Reporting.
- Take ownership of core engineering and business outcomes across the domain, including the loan system of record, ledger pipelines, and financial data delivery to accounting systems.
- Define and execute the technical roadmap for service-oriented decomposition, platform scalability, and database architecture evolution to support Affirm's growing loan volume across multiple geographies.
- Partner with Accounting, Finance, Capital Markets, Product, and Compliance to ensure financial accuracy and regulatory compliance across all loan products.
- Balance product expansion efforts — including international launches, new loan types, and card-related capabilities — with foundational platform investments in reliability, correctness, speed, and operational efficiency.
- Drive operational excellence across large-scale batch pipelines and online services, establishing robust incident response, pipeline SLA management, and reconciliation processes.
- Run a robust development lifecycle, including continuing agentic adoption and acceleration, while improving a culture of operational excellence.
- Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing, globally distributed engineering team across multiple sub-teams and technical disciplines.
What We Look For
- 15+ years of relevant experience in software engineering.
- 3+ years managing managers with a track record of high quality manager development.
- Experience leading multiple engineering teams spanning backend services and big data/batch pipelines.
- Successful track record driving key outcomes that drive the company's success.
- Comfortable partnering across disciplines and influencing across a wide variety of leaders.
- Experience hiring, growing, and retaining talent.
- Strong technical depth in distributed systems, data-intensive applications, and database architecture at scale.
- Has domain knowledge in financial systems, lending, accounting, or fintech. Great to have — if you've worked on ledger systems, loan origination and servicing, or financial reconciliation in a lending context.
- This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor's degree in a related field.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Project Management Lead Jobs at Affirm Jobs
Frame your PMP credentials for fintech
Affirm evaluates project management candidates on experience with payment systems, lending products, or regulated financial workflows. Tailor your resume to highlight delivery work in financial services before you apply, not after you get a recruiter call.
Target roles that align with Affirm's product pillars
Affirm's open Project Management Lead positions cluster around merchant integrations, risk infrastructure, and capital markets operations. Matching your application to one of these pillars signals product fluency and increases your chances of clearing the initial recruiter screen.
Time your application around H-1B filing windows
If you need H-1B sponsorship, an offer finalized between January and March gives Affirm enough runway to file before the April 1 USCIS registration deadline. Starting your job search in Q4 of the prior year gives you the best positioning.
Browse Affirm's open roles through Migrate Mate
Affirm posts Project Management Lead openings across multiple channels, but not all listings surface their sponsorship details. Use Migrate Mate to filter Affirm roles that actively support visa sponsorship and track new postings as they go live.

Find Project Management Lead at Affirm JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Affirm sponsor H-1B visas for Project Management Leads?
Yes, Affirm sponsors H-1B visas for Project Management Lead roles. Affirm files petitions through the standard USCIS cap-subject process, so candidates who need initial H-1B status should target offers well before the April registration window opens. Affirm also supports H-1B transfers for candidates already holding valid H-1B status with another employer, which can streamline your start date.
Which visa types does Affirm commonly sponsor for Project Management Lead roles?
Affirm sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and employment-based Green Cards including EB-2 and EB-3 for this function. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying management categories. F-1 OPT candidates should confirm their OPT expiration date and whether they qualify for the 24-month STEM extension before accepting an offer.
What qualifications and experience does Affirm expect for a Project Management Lead?
Affirm typically looks for candidates with experience managing cross-functional technology or financial product initiatives, familiarity with Agile and program delivery frameworks, and a background in fintech, payments, or regulated financial services. A PMP certification strengthens your application but is rarely listed as a hard requirement. Experience coordinating between engineering, compliance, and commercial teams is consistently valued across Affirm's open postings.
How do I apply for Project Management Lead jobs at Affirm?
Start by identifying open Project Management Lead roles at Affirm that match your background and confirm they support visa sponsorship for your status. Migrate Mate filters Affirm's current openings by visa type so you can target the right postings from the start. Apply through Affirm's careers portal with a resume tailored to fintech delivery work, and flag your sponsorship needs early in the recruiter screen.
How do I plan my timeline if I need Affirm to sponsor my visa for a Project Management Lead role?
Timeline depends on your current status. F-1 OPT candidates can start immediately if OPT is active, with Affirm filing an H-1B during the next cap season. H-1B transfers can begin on your first day once USCIS receives the petition. If you need a new H-1B, expect at least four to six months between registration and a valid start date under standard processing, longer if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence.
