Senior Product Builder

Role Description

The Senior Product Builder owns a product area or platform surface spanning multiple capabilities, driving it across the full AI Development Lifecycle (AIDLC). Operating with significant ambiguity, the Senior Product Builder frames the problems others execute against, sets the AI-first build patterns the product organization adopts, and serves as the primary voice of the user across the area. Distinct from a traditional product role, the Senior Product Builder leverages AI tools to prototype, accelerate execution, and directly shape product functionality.

• Build prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and AI-feature behavior through prompts and workflows.
• Establish reference patterns for other Product Builders to replicate.
• Mentor Product Builders and contribute to hiring and product craft standards without direct management responsibility.
• Combine deep product management fundamentals with AI-enabled product development practices.
• Apply critical judgment to validate all AI-generated outputs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; BA or BS.
• 7+ years of experience in Product Management, Product Ownership, Business Analysis, or a related product role.
• Mortgage, lending, fintech, or real estate industry experience required.
• Experience owning multiple products, capabilities, or a product area through the full product lifecycle.
• Demonstrated ability to set product and AIDLC standards and to mentor other product professionals.
• Deep, hands-on experience using AI tools (LLMs, code assistants, and agents) to prototype and build AI-feature behavior.
• Strong systems thinking, with comfort across integrations, platform abstractions, and cross-surface dependencies.
• Proven cross-functional leadership with Engineering, UX, Research, Analytics, and Business stakeholders.
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to define KPIs and tie product work to business outcomes.
• Excellent communication, executive presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Creative, flexible, and solution-oriented approach to problem solving.
