About the role

Branch launched its lending business in India in 2019 and has seen rapid adoption and growth. We are growing our product and engineering team in India.

We believe the best ideas can come from anyone in the company, and we create an environment where everyone feels empowered to propose solutions to the challenges we face. As a Product Manager, you will help the team achieve its goals through deep product work and servant-style leadership.
