Business Operations Manager

About Homium Homium is a mission-driven financial technology company focused on expanding pathways to homeownership through innovative financial solutions and impact investing. The company operates at the intersection of fintech, housing policy, and impact investing, creating aligned incentives between homeowners and investors to make homeownership accessible to more families while providing impact-oriented investors with exposure to residential real estate appreciation. The company’s core offering includes a unique shared appreciation mortgage product and tokenized fund platform designed to address gaps in traditional lending. Homium operates down payment assistance programs across multiple geographies, including the Utah Dream Fund and the Tobias Harris Homeownership Initiative in Detroit. These programs originate and manage loans specifically designed to expand access to homeownership for underserved communities.
