Job Description

The Opportunity
Wonderschool is solving one of the most critical market problems in the U.S.: childcare access and affordability. We’re building an AI-powered platform that enables providers to operate financially sustainable childcare businesses at scale.
We’ve raised over $50M from Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, and other top investors, and are a Series B company focused on product growth and operational leverage.
As Product Manager for Fintech & Payments, you will own core financial products that drive usage, revenue, and profitability. You’ll move fast, identify and ship high-leverage product improvements, and create tools that providers prefer over any alternative. This role is ideal for someone with strong product instincts, a builder’s mindset, and a clear focus on measurable business impact.

What You’ll Own

  • Lead product development for tuition payments and other provider-facing financial tools
  • Grow total payments volume, product adoption, and net revenue
  • Improve provider NPS and reduce friction across the billing experience
  • Drive profitability and improve unit economics through product and pricing strategy
  • Work end-to-end with engineering, design, and data to ship features weekly
  • Talk to providers every week and turn insights into product decisions
  • Use modeling, experimentation, and data to drive prioritization and iteration
  • Scale internal workflows and product surfaces using AI and automation tools

What You’ll Need

  • Strong product judgment and an instinct for what users want
  • Background as a software engineer or ability to work deeply with engineering teams
  • Experience with payments, fintech, or in a high-bar finance role (e.g., investing, banking)
  • Proven track record of delivering 0→1 products that generate measurable financial results
  • Strong analytical thinking; can model impact and drive decisions with data (SQL or similar is a plus)
  • Extreme ownership and urgency — ships fast, iterates constantly, and fixes broken experiences
  • Bias toward outcomes — knows how to set and hit aggressive goals
  • Interest in small business empowerment, with a preference for those who’ve built or supported business owners
  • Based in San Francisco, with the ability to work in-office 3–5 days/week

What Success Looks Like

  • Payments volume and adoption grow significantly month-over-month
  • Providers prefer our financial tools and use them to grow their income
  • Unit economics improve meaningfully through product changes
  • High NPS and reduced support load signal strong usability and product-market fit
  • You identify quick wins, iterate fast, and consistently ship value

Why Join Wonderschool

  • We operate with urgency, clarity, and focus. As a Series B company with significant capital and a rapidly growing customer base, we’re building real products that generate revenue and deliver economic value. If you care about solving hard financial problems and want to build with speed and ownership — you’ll thrive here. The role's base salary starts at $140,000, includes equity, is negotiable and aligns to the appropriate experience of the individual.

About Wonderschool - a16z & Goldman

Wonderschool is an AI-powered marketplace solving the child care crisis by connecting governments, providers, parents, teachers, and nonprofits on one integrated platform.

There is a nationwide shortage of child care and preschool options, and we believe one of the most effective ways to expand access is by helping teachers and caregivers start and grow successful programs—especially home-based child care businesses.

For providers, Wonderschool offers comprehensive support to launch and operate high-quality programs. We assist with licensing, classroom setup, pricing strategy, website creation, enrollment support, daily operations, and more. Our platform is designed to let educators focus on what they do best: caring for and educating children.

For governments, we offer AI-powered tools to help manage and expand early education ecosystems. Our technology helps states and municipalities identify child care deserts, support local providers, increase quality, and ensure families can access programs that meet their needs. By unifying data, services, and funding mechanisms, we help public agencies scale solutions effectively and equitably.

We are proud to partner with leaders across sectors—from families and educators to policymakers and nonprofits—to create a future where every child has access to early learning.

Wonderschool is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, First Round Capital, Lerer Ventures, Imaginable Futures, and Long Journey Ventures.
