We believe it’s important to foster a company culture that encourages curiosity and passion—from employee resource groups and learning opportunities to team outings and community outreach.

A Better opportunity

Help us hack a thirteen trillion dollar industry by building a product that will allow more people than the status quo to own a home and build wealth rather than rent for life.

As a Group Product Manager on the Homeowner Experience Product team, you will play a pivotal role in driving innovation. You will work closely with amazingly talented engineers, designers, data scientists and executive leaders throughout the company to perfect the core experience of fulfilling our customers’ home loans by simplifying the mortgage process. You will work to reduce friction, bring clarity to the work to the process and the progress that’s being made, as well as provide insight into the criteria underlying eligibility.

Responsibilities will include:

  • You will bring your solutions to market through ownership of the full product development process: problem identification, solution design, spec, implementation and validation.
  • You will manage multiple projects and competing priorities with consistency and transparency, while successfully knowing which projects and components of the roadmap to tackle first
  • You recognize when Product processes need to be improved and can take the lead on implementing new approaches
  • You will mentor and manage PMs working in similar product / problem areas

About You:

  • You’ve worked for 8-10+ years in a product management capacity at a technology-driven organization
  • You’ve previously managed Product Managers or Business Analysts 
  • You’ve provided top-quality written and in-person presentations to strategic and executive leaders. You can simplify the most complicated concepts for any audience
  • You are deeply user-centered and highly empathetic. You have an intuitive understanding of what makes a good user experience, can quickly recognize problematic experiences, and work collaboratively with design partners to manifest those principles into product solutions
  • You have deep technical expertise and ability to understand data, integrations, and platforms. You can envision how systems work together on top of complex platforms to serve multiple user groups.
  • You’re an analytical, metrics-driven thinker who is deeply empathetic and leads with a user-centered approach
  • You have a history of successfully working with users in sales and operations, understanding their needs and creating improvements to meet those needs
  • You learn new technologies quickly and can comfortably and effectively discuss the tradeoffs and benefits of various approaches with your engineering peers
  • You’re committed to collaboration and are able to work well with other business units to build iterative solutions that continuously deliver value
  • You have a proven track record of entering a new space and building expertise rapidly
  • You are an excellent mentor
  • You’re a great role model for dominating even menial tasks and grinding it out when needed



The Better mission is rooted in values that drive us.

  • We do what’s in the best interest of the consumer, not ourselves
  • We have growth mindsets, not fixed ones
  • We believe that success lies in execution, not credentials
  • We act like owners, not just employees
  • We work to find answers on our own, not wait for them to be given to us 
  • We optimize for mission, not ego

Our mission speaks for itself—we continue to outpace the industry at every turn. We’ve recently joined forces in partnership with Ally Bank, and our backers have helped build some of the most transformative tech and finance companies in history. Kleiner Perkins, Goldman Sachs, American Express, Citigroup, Activant Capital, Ally Bank, and others have invested in our vision for what homeownership can be.

Better Benefits & Compensation

Our total rewards package consists of base salary, yearly cash bonus, equity and benefits. Additional employment-related benefits include:

  • Comprehensive healthcare, retirement, and voluntary benefits—including medical, dental, vision, savings accounts, 401k, and more
  • Personalized care and tools for realizing your mental health and wellness goals
  • Robust holistic wellbeing offerings where you can experience unlimited access to virtual fitness, meditation, yoga, cooking classes, homeschooling preparedness, physical therapy, and more
  • Unlimited time off (with manager approval)
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave after only 90 days of employment, and 20 weeks after 24 months of service
