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 Internal Efficiency 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 build products that will allow Better to scale rapidly. You will build world class tools that will allow our sales and operations teams to connect with customers like no other mortgage team in the world can. This position is pivotal to creating a process in which our customers feel valued and in the know. Your work will allow us to build trust with customers during this critical financial decision, and help them resolve issues when they come up.
In this role, you’ll help us to answer questions like: How can we optimize omni-channel communication and enable people to do what they do best and let machines fill in the rest? How can we leverage Twilio Flex to deeply integrate with our systems and enable our service teams to have exactly what they need at their fingertips? Should we build chatbot experiences, optimize dialing tools, or find the most convenient possible way for customers to get the answers to every question that arises?
Responsibilities will include:
- Defining and owning the long term vision and roadmap for our CRM platform, one of the core moats of Better.com
- At Better, our proprietary tools and technology have allowed our sales staff to become some of the most productive loan officers in the country.
- We are creating a world class experience for borrowers, internal teams, and now, third party real estate agents. This new venture comes with complex technical challenges and will require partnership with many product and engineering teams, as well as cross functional stakeholder groups around our blitzscaling company.
- 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 potentially manage, PMs working in similar product / problem areas
About You:
- Worked for 8-10+ years in a product management capacity at a technology driven organization
- You have managed a team of Product Managers or Business Analysts for 2+ years
- Provided top-quality written and in-person presentations to strategic and executive leaders. You can simplify the most complicated concepts for any audience
- Carry deep technical expertise and ability to understand data, integrations, and platforms. You can envision how systems work together on top of sophisticated platforms to serve multiple user groups.
- Have a history of successfully working with users in sales and operations, understanding their needs and crafting improvements to meet those needs
- Learn new technologies quickly and can comfortably and effectively discuss the tradeoffs and benefits of various approaches with your engineering peers
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.
