Product Manager

Morty is on a mission to revolutionize the outdated mortgage industry by letting people shop, compare, and close any mortgage option from any lender, completely online. Purchasing a home is the largest, most important financial transaction of most people’s lives. We believe getting a mortgage should be just as simple, modern, and transparent as buying anything else online. We’re building the first-ever, fully digital marketplace to make this possible.

Morty was founded by a diverse team of mortgage industry vets and software engineers and is supported by an incredible group of investors and advisors including Thrive Capital, Lerer Hippeau, Prudence, and Techstars who have backed companies like Oscar, Compass, Lemonade, Slack, Airbnb, Stripe, Dropbox, Casper, and Warby Parker. 

In 2021, Morty just raised a $25 million Series B financing round, with a valuation of $150M – check out our feature in Forbes and this blog post from CEO and co-founder Nora Apsel to read more!

Good product and user experience isn't an afterthought at Morty -- it's core to our mission and key to our competitive advantage. Mortgages are complicated, but we believe that a great product and technology can make them easier. As Product Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing all aspects of product development—from research and wireframes to execution, deployment, and post-release analysis. It's a small team and you'll be the only product manager (at least for a while), so you should feel comfortable owning it all!

• Develop and execute on the product roadmap. That includes prioritizing features, writing specs, and measuring the impact of product initiatives on business goals. Ensure the product strategy is aligned with the long-term vision of the company. 
• Conduct market research and user testing to help inform product decisions and build a coherent and intuitive user experience.
• Define and analyze data (KPIs) to help determine success of product built. Share results with the team and use conclusions to drive the product further. Encourage and thrive in a data driven environment.
• Develop end-to-end storyboards or rough wireframes for product features. Work with designers to transform sketches into beautiful product.
• Ensure product is thoroughly tested and thoroughly proofread before release.
• Work with engineering and business teams to estimate work efforts, define milestones, and get stuff done!
• Regularly communicate project updates, roadblocks, and milestones. 
• Manage the overall product development process.

• 4+ years of consumer-facing product management experience. You should be comfortable taking an idea from its infancy all the way through to launch and tracking performance.. Experience in fintech is a plus.
• A “consumer-first” attitude—everything you build and everything you work towards is about making a better experience for our consumer. Empathy is key!
• An ability to grasp complex technical challenges and nuanced product workflows and translate them into simple, intuitive user experiences.
• Experience working with analytics platforms like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and Kissmetrics and a desire to dig into data to find product insights and opportunities.
• A willingness to collaborate with engineering, marketing and operations teams to shape the product and user experience.
• An ability to know when and how to make compromises in order to ship faster and continuously iterate.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Highly organized and capable of leading a team of engineers through the entire product cycle. Good at projecting time estimates and hitting deadlines (as well as motivating others to hit deadlines!). 

Benefits:

• We’ve got you covered: 401k, unlimited PTO, casual dress code, and free health insurance (medical, dental, and vision) — we’re there for you! Plus, public transportation benefits and pre-tax plans if you choose to commute to our accessible office in West SoHo!

Morty is focused on building the team best suited to advance our mission to the benefit of homebuyers across the country. We recognize that work patterns have changed, and we now offer team members the option to work full- or part-time in our office in New York City or fully remotely. While each team has the flexibility to establish the work schedules and rhythms that make sense for their group, we request everyone’s working hours overlap substantially with Eastern Time so we can all stay connected.
