Thinking About a Career Move? We're Hiring New Talent l Dave

Sr. Member Experience Manager

Dave vs. Goliath. We’re Dave. Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option. Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most. The Opportunity Dave is growing fast and the member base is growing with it. As more people choose Dave over traditional banking, the feedback loop that helps us understand their experience needs to be sharper, more structured, and more connected to the decisions that drive the business. That's what this role builds. As Sr. Member Experience Manager, you'll own the Voice of Customer program and shape how Dave listens to, understands, and acts on member signals across every touchpoint. This isn't a "compile the feedback" role. You'll be the person translating what millions of members are experiencing into the structured, data backed case that gets in front of Product and Leadership and actually changes things. The work sits at a real intersection. You'll tie member sentiment to business outcomes like retention, engagement, and revenue, and make the argument that doing right by the member and growing the business are the same goal. At Dave they are. This role is how we make sure that case gets made consistently, on a regular cadence, with the numbers to back it up. If you want a high-visibility IC role where your work shapes product decisions and your voice carries weight across the org, this is it. What You'll Do Voice of Customer Program You are the voice of the customer within Dave. You own how member signals get turned into something the Dave team can act on. That means pulling input from every customer contact support data, app reviews, social conversations, community feedback, and surveys, including App Store and Google Play reviews and public social conversations. You decide what gets tracked, how it's measured, and when something is significant enough to escalate, including routing anything with reputational or policy circumvention risk to Complaints/Resolve so they can move fast. You'll build a structured, recurring rhythm for surfacing what matters: real-time visibility into issues and trend shifts as they happen, a monthly deep dive with Research into one specific friction area affecting members, and a periodic review of the biggest unresolved issues that you bring to Product and use to keep Leadership current. Each cycle produces a clear problem statement, not just a data dump, and you keep a running backlog so patterns don't disappear just because they miss a cycle. The readouts you deliver aren't a complaints list. They're a business case. A spike in a friction category is a churn signal. A recurring drop-off in a core flow means members are transacting less or leaving. You'll tie what you're hearing to the metrics that matter, retention, engagement, revenue, and member growth, and you'll partner with Member Insights and Data Analytics so the signal you're surfacing feeds the classifiers and dashboards the rest of MS&O relies on, not just your own readouts. Doing right by the member and making the business case are the same argument here. Members who trust the product stay longer, transact more, and tell others. Product Feedback and Member Advocacy When member signals point to a product gap, you build the case and bring it to Product in a way PMs can prioritize: a clear problem statement written from the member's perspective, backed by data, with a recommendation behind it. You're also the member's advocate in the room. That means showing up prepared, defending the friction point with specifics, adjusting when new information comes in, and helping the group reach a better decision because the member's perspective was actually represented. You're not there to report back. You're there to move the outcome. Dogfooding is part of how you stay credible in those conversations. You'll use Dave's products regularly and test new launches before they go out, so you know firsthand what the experience feels like before members do. Cross-Functional Work You'll represent the member's perspective across Product, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, Legal and Compliance, running the recurring syncs with product teams that keep pain points and open issues moving, and helping facilitate the forums where broader member experience initiatives get assigned an owner instead of stalling between meetings. What You'll Need Five or more years in member experience, Voice of Customer, customer insights, or CX with real program ownership A proactive and curious mindset with a natural drive to investigate patterns, identify opportunities, and improve the member experience. Experience gathering signals from multiple touchpoints, including app store reviews and public social conversation, and turning them into structured, actionable recommendations Strong judgment in separating isolated feedback from meaningful trends and determining when deeper analysis, escalation, or action is needed. Working fluency with Mode, Looker, or similar tools to independently build and defend a data-backed case Comfort leveraging AI tools such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini to guide research, synthesize feedback, identify patterns, and strengthen analysis. Comfort in cross-functional product conversations where you've made the member's case in a PM setting Experience advocating for agent-level tools, workflows, and product improvements that reduce friction, improve efficiency, and strengthen the member experience. A track record of building trusted relationships and influencing stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, Compliance, Research, and Data. Strong written communication: clear problem statements, crisp readouts, recommendations that get used Confidence speaking up, challenging assumptions respectfully, and calling out the obvious when needed to create clarity or resolve misalignment. Strong written and verbal communication with the ability to turn complex findings into clear problem statements, concise readouts, and actionable recommendations. The ability to move work forward without direct authority while navigating competing priorities and maintaining cross-functional alignment. Strong organizational skills with the ability to document decisions, maintain action items, track owners and deadlines, and ensure follow-through. Bonus Points Experience running a formal VoC or community engagement program Background in fintech or consumer financial services Familiarity with QA or contact center operations Experience in an agile product environment Comfort with tools like Mode, Looker, Zendesk, or Rippit (MaestroQA) Don’t let imposter syndrome get in the way of an incredible opportunity. We’re looking for people who can help us achieve our mission and vision, not just check off the boxes. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles. Why you’ll love working here: At Dave, our people are just as important as our product. Our culture reflects the values that guide who we are, how we work, and what we aspire to be. Daves are member-centric, helpful, transparent, persistent, and better together. We strive to create an environment where all Daves feel valued, heard, and empowered to do their best work.

Organic Growth & Discovery Lead (SEO/AEO)

Dave vs. Goliath. We’re Dave. Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option. Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most. We're looking for an Organic Growth & Discovery Lead to own the on-site and off-site content that makes Dave findable in search and AI answer engines, and to turn that visibility into new members at an efficient cost. The Opportunity This role sits within the User Acquisition team and focuses on how Dave gets found. You will own the onsite content portfolio that earns the ranking, the offsite authority that earns the citation, and the reporting that proves any of it worked. Content is the whole job - most of what wins here is a well-built portfolio with real topical authority behind it and the editorial judgment to know what is worth publishing. Dave is an app-first business, so the bar for this channel is filling and converting the web-to-app funnel, generating new members at an efficient cost, not solely traffic acquisition. You will not own the technical layer. Your Product and martech partner owns site structure, site speed, the technical roadmap, and tooling. You need to be fluent enough in technical aspects of SEO and AEO to know what is limiting discoverability and to make the case for it cross-functionally. You’ll work closely with teams across brand, content, product, martech, analytics, partnerships, and compliance. AEO is new; not everything will be fully defined - part of the role is helping shape what organic discovery should even mean for a consumer fintech, including how we measure a surface the industry hasn’t standardized yet based on your SEO expertise. What you Build & Own Channel strategy: Define the strategy and roadmap for organic discovery across search and AI answer engines, and own the forecast, budget, and reporting cadence for marketing leadership. Onsite Content: Own the onsite content portfolio end-to-end: topical authority and content architecture, keyword and prompt research, intent mapping, the editorial roadmap, and the briefs that direct writers and agencies. Write and edit to a publishable standard, and run a consistent cadence of refresh, consolidation, and pruning so the portfolio gets stronger rather than just bigger. Offsite Content & Authority: Own where and how Dave shows up beyond dave.com , including forums, communities like Reddit, and other third-party sources that influence search and AI answers, working with marketing partnership and affiliate teams to earn the placements, coverage, and citations that build real authority. Answer Engine Visibility: Own how Dave shows up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews, including the measurement approach for citations, share of voice, and accuracy. Technical and tooling partnership: You will partner with Product and Martech leads on the technical work that unlocks discoverability and the tools this channel needs, bringing each a business case they can prioritize against. Measurement & Experimentation: Build the reporting that ties organic and AI-sourced traffic to installs, new members, and acquisition cost efficiency, including the content side of the web-to-app path. Trust & Compliance: Own the trust signals that make Dave's content credible to both search and answer engines: E-E-A-T, sourcing, author attribution, and factual accuracy. Financial content is held to a higher standard, so keep organic practices aligned with fintech regulatory requirements and Dave's brand safety standards. The Impact People look for ways to cover a bill before payday in many places, and more of that searching now happens within an AI assistant. The work you build here puts an affordable, transparent option in front of them at that moment, instead of leaving them to whatever surfaces first. What we’re looking for 8+ years of experience in SEO, content marketing, organic growth, or growth marketing, including at least 2 years of hands-on work on AEO, GEO, or AI search optimization and a track record of leading cross-functional initiatives (specifically for consumer products/b2c). Demonstrated success growing organic into a real acquisition channel measured against a business outcome and cost efficiency rather than traffic, with specific work you can walk through and explain. Onsite content strategy depth - you’ve built topical authority from scratch, mapped content to real search and prompt intent, directed writers through briefs, and made hard calls about what to consolidate or kill, with the writing and editing judgment to hold the work to a publishable standard. Offsite experience earning placements, coverage, or citations through partnerships, affiliates, or digital PR, and the judgment to explain why a given placement was worth pursuing. Current, hands-on experience improving visibility in AI answer engines, and a defensible point of view on how to measure it. Technical and data fluency without needing to be the expert - you can read a site audit, understand how structure and performance affect discoverability, brief a product team credibly, and pull and interrogate your own data in GA4, Search Console, spreadsheets, or SQL. Bonus if you have Fintech or financial services industry experience Experience with programmatic or templated content at scale Familiar with organic strategies for App channels (App Store Optimization, etc) What to expect You own the outcome, not just the ranking. You think about how organic discovery affects the broader business - from acquisition cost to member quality and long-term retention - and you get traction on work you don’t own by bringing a business case rather than a best practice. You exercise judgment about brand safety and regulatory risk without waiting to be policed. You also work well across teams. Organic discovery requires coordination across product, martech, brand, content, partnerships, and compliance, and you build trust with those partners along the way. When new information changes the path forward, you adjust thoughtfully while keeping momentum. Feedback and collaboration sharpen the work. You’ll have meaningful ownership in shaping how organic discovery contributes to Dave’s growth. Some opportunities will be clear. Others will require experimentation and creative thinking. Decisions here are grounded in data, member impact, and long-term business outcomes. Why join Dave Mission-driven impact — You'll build organic growth and discovery strategies for financial products that serve millions of underserved Americans. Your work directly impacts financial health and accessibility for people who need it most. Significant scope and growth — Dave is fast-growing and expanding into multiple new product categories in 2026. You'll have the opportunity to shape a multi-product content strategy across multiple launches and scale from day one. Strategic autonomy — This is a founding role for AEO. You'll have significant autonomy to build strategies, test tactics, and make decisions with limited constraints or playbooks to follow. Strong resources and support — You'll partner with world-class Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Marketing teams equipped to support your initiatives. You'll have the budget to test, learn, and scale. Meaningful challenges — You'll solve complex problems: reaching underserved audiences, building acquisition models for emerging financial products, managing unit economics in competitive channels, and driving profitable growth.

Dave vs. Goliath. We’re Dave. Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option. Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most. The Opportunity We're looking for a Staff Machine Learning Scientist to shape how Dave builds, evaluates, and governs machine learning models across the business. You'll set technical direction across credit, fraud, marketing, and growth while staying hands-on with high-impact modeling challenges. You'll establish practical governance standards, strengthen how we measure business outcomes, and help teams make better decisions with data. This role offers meaningful autonomy and the opportunity to influence how machine learning supports both our members and Dave's long-term growth. What You'll Build and Own Shape Dave's modeling strategy across underwriting, collections, fraud, marketing, and growth, influencing architecture, shared infrastructure, and investment priorities. Establish model governance standards covering validation, monitoring, risk classification, documentation, change management, and independent review throughout the model lifecycle. Build and improve credit models that inform underwriting, collections, and settlement strategies, balancing portfolio performance, profitability, and member outcomes. Strengthen responsible modeling practices by partnering with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and sponsor-bank stakeholders to translate regulatory requirements into measurable controls. Advance business measurement through meaningful metrics, experimentation, causal inference, and incrementality analysis that inform product and portfolio decisions. Develop AI-assisted workflows and mentor scientists to improve modeling efficiency, evaluation quality, and consistency across teams. The Impact Your work will influence how Dave makes critical financial decisions, measures success, and manages risk. By building reliable models and scalable governance practices, you'll help us expand access to useful financial products while supporting responsible, sustainable growth. What We're Looking For 8+ years of experience building production machine learning solutions, including demonstrated technical leadership at staff or principal scope. Strong experience with consumer credit modeling, portfolio economics, and risk-based decision systems, ideally in fintech or consumer lending. Experience with model validation, model risk management, or independent review in regulated environments, including familiarity with fair-lending and adverse-action considerations. Advanced proficiency in Python, SQL, statistical modeling, and machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, XGBoost, or Spark. Experience designing experiments, defining business metrics, and measuring incremental impact through causal inference or holdout methodologies. Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction and communicate complex trade-offs across senior stakeholders. Practical experience using AI tools throughout the modeling lifecycle, with sound judgment in evaluating outputs. A bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in a quantitative field, or equivalent experience. Bonus: Experience evaluating or governing generative AI applications, including model guardrails and monitoring. What Makes Someone Successful Here You connect technical decisions to business outcomes and member experiences. You bring strong scientific judgment, challenge assumptions thoughtfully, and build solutions that remain reliable as the business evolves. You collaborate across disciplines, welcome constructive feedback, and help others strengthen their work. When priorities change or challenges aren't fully defined, you create clarity and move forward with sound reasoning and shared accountability. What to Expect You'll have significant independence and influence across teams, supported by partners in Engineering, Product, Finance, Risk, and Compliance. Decisions are grounded in evidence, and you'll help shape the standards and processes that guide future work. Why Join Dave? You'll tackle complex, meaningful challenges at the intersection of machine learning, financial access, and responsible innovation. You'll have the opportunity to shape company-wide technical practices while contributing directly to products that make a difference for millions of members. Ready to build for the underdog?
