We are committed to fostering diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion.  We encourage individual potential rather than years of experience. We see the value in each person’s perspective, and recognize their talents, regardless of what the market says. We believe it’s important to nurture a company culture that encourages curiosity and passion—from employee resource groups and learning opportunities to team outings and community outreach. 

A Better opportunity

As a Sr. Product Manager on the Homeowner Experience team, you will work closely with amazingly talented engineers, designers, and data scientists to imagine, build, and deploy digital tools for our borrowers. This role will be crucial in perfecting the core experience of fulfilling the home loan by simplifying the mortgage process to reduce friction, bring clarity to the work to be done, and build certainty around the progress being made.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Improve the core experience of collecting documentation 
  • Simplify the mortgage process to reduce friction
  • Remove complexity during fulfillment, therefore decreasing initial processing to fund time and increasing lock to fund rate
  • Provide homeowners an experience to easily verify their stated information, answer questions related to their loan file, and to provide required documentation to secure their loan
  • Bring clarity to the work to be done on our customer’s loans
  • Educate homeowners on expectations and help homeowners understand what’s required of them to continue progressing the loan file, therefore decreasing initial processing time, returned tasks, and homeowner anxiety
  • Reassure homeowners of the progress being made on their loan file, therefore decreasing inbound communication and increasing NPS
  • Bring your solutions to market through ownership of the full product development process: problem identification, solution design, spec, implementation and validation.
  • Manage multiple projects and competing priorities with consistency and transparency, while successfully knowing which projects and components of the roadmap to tackle first

About You:

  • You’ve worked for 5-8 years in a consumer focused product management role at a technology-driven organization 
  • You are customer obsessed, and are always looking for ways to improve the service design
  • You’re an analytical, metrics-driven thinker who is deeply empathetic and leads with a user-centered approach
  • 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 not afraid of getting your hands dirty and are equally comfortable balancing tactical and strategic investments
  • You challenge archaic processes to make them better for consumers by removing friction (aka you live to make complex things simple)
  • You are comfortable in an ever-changing environment and have a passion for successfully navigating ambiguous problem areas 
  • You have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and have a proven track record of building strong relationships with stakeholders
  • Bonus: You have deep subject matter expertise in the Real Estate Technology industry
  • Bonus: You have worked on internal tooling platforms previously 

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 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

  • Comprehensive healthcare, retirement, and voluntary benefits. Think medical, dental, vision, savings accounts, 401k, and more.

  • Unlimited time off (with manager approval)
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave after 90 days of employment, and 20 weeks after 24 months of service.
