What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager position at ROAM?
About Roam
Our mission at Roam is to make homeownership 2x more affordable for Americans. Roam's initial focus is to help buyers wind back the clock on interest rates by purchasing a home with a low-rate assumable mortgage, a type of loan where the buyer can take over the mortgage terms from the seller. All government-backed loans such as FHA and VA loans are eligible for assumption by law, and there are millions of these loans at rates below 4%. With a low-rate assumable mortgage, buyers can save up to 50% on monthly payments compared to buying with a traditional mortgage at today's rates.
Roam helps buyers find these homes for sale with the first-ever listing platform for homes with assumable mortgages. In addition, Roam manages all steps in the assumption process, acting as a specialized transaction coordinator to quarterback the entire process end-to-end on behalf of buyer and seller to ensure they close on time.
About the role
As Roam's first Product Manager, you will build out our 01 product initiatives that empower homebuyers and sellers to take advantage of low-rate assumable mortgages. In this role, you'll work closely with cross-functional teams-design, engineering, data, operations-to develop a product vision and roadmap that solve real user pain points while driving growth and adoption.
You'll own the end-to-end product lifecycle, from discovery and user research to execution and ongoing measurement. Your day-to-day will involve talking to users to deeply understand their needs, using time-series metrics to validate hypotheses, and continually refining our approach to ensure we're delivering the best possible solutions. You'll also serve as the communication hub : aligning teams on priorities and ensuring our users stay informed about updates that make their journey to homeownership more affordable.
