About The Position
Achieve is undergoing a massive transformation, fueled by a bold three-year strategy to aggressively grow its lending business. The mission is to become a digital-first, AI-enabled lending powerhouse. The Lending Product organization supports market growth through two core ecosystems: a Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) platform and a technology-first Third-Party Originations (TPO) channel. The TPO business is reimagining the intermediary lending landscape by deploying API-first infrastructure, frictionless wholesale and correspondent portals, and instant underwriting tools that empower external brokers to deliver Achieve’s industry-leading HELOCs and mortgages at scale.
Requirements
- Deep knowledge of the end-to-end digital consumer lending lifecycle, automated credit risk rules engines, modern loan origination technology stacks, secondary market/capital market constraints, and equity/unsecured debt products.
- Proven experience overseeing complex API-first platform transformations, modern cloud architecture transitions, and enterprise-level data layer definitions. Can comfortably align technology roadmaps directly with VP-level Engineering leaders.
- Exceptional track record of presenting to, influencing, and aligning C-suite executives and regulatory bodies on highly strategic, high-capital decisions.
- A proven leader who has successfully taken product lines from zero-to-one, as well as scaled consumer facing lending platforms.
Responsibilities
- Build, scale, and mentor a world-class, multi-layered product management organization. Establish a high-performance culture rooted in operational discipline, continuous talent development, and product management excellence.
- Define and champion the long-term product vision, strategy, and investment roadmap for the Lending Product organization. Ensure the portfolio balances immediate commercial scaling with long-term foundational technical architecture.
- Provide leadership and direction for the development of our next-generation, API-first lending architecture. Drive the modernization of our core lending origination systems, automated decisioning frameworks, real-time pricing engines, and external partner ecosystems.
- Be accountable for the business performance of Lending product lines, tracking core metrics including funnel performance, close rates, time-to-fund and product profitability.
- Act as a critical liaison between Product and key executive stakeholders in Marketing, Capital Markets, Credit Risk, Legal & Compliance, Sales, and Operations. Ensure complex industry regulations are met and seamlessly integrated into scalable, friction-free customer software experiences.
- Drive the adoption of emerging technologies, modern data/analytics capabilities, and alternative data underwriting methods to keep Achieve ahead of fintech competitors and shifting macroeconomic conditions.
