General Manager, PayMe (Kinetic)

Location: Brooklyn, NY (In-Office)
Compensation: $200K–$300K base + meaningful equity in Kinetic

Fiat Talent is recruiting on behalf of Kinetic, an AI-native app foundry backed by Google Ventures, Point72, and Alexis Ohanian. The team is small, fast, and known for shipping consumer apps that climb the charts in weeks, not quarters.

They’re hiring a General Manager to run PayMe, a top 15 Finance app on iOS helping users earn and claim millions of dollars. The GM owns the full P&L, product roadmap, growth engine, and user experience. You’ll launch new versions of the app, run aggressive testing across onboarding and paywalls, build engagement loops, and hire the early team as PayMe grows into a broader financial product. This role reports to Justin Silver, CEO of Kinetic, and will operate as a senior leader inside the studio.

The role is built for someone who has gone from 1 to 100 at a consumer fintech and knows how to operate like a founder. The ideal candidate brings:

• Experience owning P&L or leading product/growth at fintech names like Rocket Money, Truebill, Copilot, Monarch Money, Albert, Chime, Digit, or Dave

• A strong product and growth toolkit across experimentation, pricing, paywalls, lifecycle, and funnels

• A data-first approach and comfort running rapid tests without layers of process

• High-agency problem solving and the ability to build hands-on, not from the sidelines

• The range to shift from IC-level execution to managing a growing team
