Requirements

8+ years in product, much of it building mortgage or mortgage-tech products (POS, LOS, origination, underwriting automation, income/doc verification, or agency integrations).
Deep mortgage fluency: the loan manufacturing process, agency guidelines, underwriting and operations workflows, and what lenders and underwriters actually struggle with.
A builder who ships, fast and to a high bar. You prototype with engineers rather than write specs from a distance, and you move with urgency without cutting the corners that matter.
Hands-on AI/ML experience, ideally in lending, document processing, or underwriting.
A track record of products lenders use at scale, with measurable impact.
Grit and ownership: you push through ambiguity, take outcomes as yours, and drive them without being told.
Intellectual curiosity: you dig into how things work, question assumptions, and keep learning.
Cross-functional leadership: you align engineering, ML, ops, and GTM, and you've mentored or managed PMs (or are ready to).

Nice To Haves

Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) or equivalent.
Encompass / ICE, Fannie Mae DU, Freddie Mac LPA, or ULDD experience.
Time at a modern mortgage-tech or AI-lending company.

Partner with Sales, Account Management, Customer Enablement, Implementations, and Marketing to drive successful launches, adoption, and customer value
