Our usage has grown 40x in the last 6 months and our customers view us as their enterprise AI partner and want us to transform their operations across different lines of business. To help support that we are founding our product team and hiring for leaders to own product for one business vertical each. You will start by partnering closely with customers to build new features for our existing originations agents, guide deployments, support adoption and ensure they have the tools and insight they need to achieve meaningful outcomes. Overtime you will own the product strategy, product execution, integrations, and partnerships for the originations vertical to deliver an end-to-end AI originations platform. What you'll doOwn the originations product line end to end — roadmap, prioritization, and delivery for both of our AI origination agentsWork directly with AI engineers on failure modes, eval criteria, and the judgment calls of autonomy — when the agent acts, when it asks, when it escalatesOwn deployments of your product: project-manage post-sale implementations, drive customer adoption, and be the reason the exec sponsor's rollout workedClose the loop from field reality back into the roadmapOwn originations product marketing. Positioning, demo narrative, case studies from live deployments.What we're looking for4+ years in product management, or equivalent ownership as a founder, engagement manager, or operator who shipped real productYou've built with LLMs hands-on — you can write and critique prompts, reason about evals, and engage engineers on how, not just whatA metrics habit: every claim you make about your product traces to instrumentation you made sure existedYou've owned customer-facing outcomes, not just internal roadmaps — deployments, implementations, or embedded work with enterprise customersYou write persuasively enough that an EVP forwards it internallyComfort in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you shape the solution as much as you build itExperience in mortgage, lending, or another regulated industry is a plus, not a requirement. We'll teach you originations faster than we can teach product instinct.How we'll measure successWhether our origination agents beat the best human baseline on the same work — conversion, cycle time, touches per file, error rates.
