Head of Product, Home Lending
Apply
Blend is a diverse team of problem solvers who believe that the world’s financial resources should be more accessible. Our cloud banking platform is used by Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and over 330 other financial services firms to acquire more customers, increase productivity, and deliver end-to-end digital experiences. Our software enables our customers to process an average of more than $5 billion in loans per day, making it possible for consumers to reach their financial goals faster and lead better lives. Come do work that matters.
The Role
You'll own product for Blend's home lending business, our largest and most strategic product line. This is a full P&L-minded product leadership role: you set the vision and roadmap, run the operating rhythm, and are accountable for what we commit to customers and whether we deliver it.
You'll lead a team of 7 product managers and product owners across four areas: Flagship (our core mortgage and home equity experience), Rapid (our fast-deploy home equity and refi products), Verifications (credit, income, and asset), and Documents & Delivery (disclosures, docs, Docs AI).
Your customers are among the largest financial institutions in the country, including several top-10 US banks, major regional banks, and the biggest credit unions. These are not logos on a slide; they're weekly working relationships with named commitments attached, and they'll know your name.
What You'll Do
- Own the home lending roadmap. Balance a portfolio that spans new Rapid implementations, flagship customer commitments, LOS integration rebuilds, compliance work, and strategic bets like Docs AI. Make the trade-offs explicit and defensible.
- Run the commitment engine. We think in terms of what we committed, where we are, and what the gap is. You'll own that discipline for home lending: a single source of truth for customer commitments, honest status, and a say/do ratio the exec team can trust.
- Scale the Rapid business. Rapid is our growth motion, with a committed pipeline of major-lender implementations and more deals coming. You'll partner with sales and engineering to industrialize how we scope, price, and deliver these.
- Lead strategic account relationships. Be the senior product voice for our largest home lending customers. Turn enhancement backlogs into coherent multi-quarter plans, and show up personally when it matters.
- Shape the platform transition. Home lending will be the proving ground for our Mosaic platform migration. You'll co-own the strategy for what moves, when, and how we protect customers through it.
- Build with AI, not just talk about it. We expect AI acceleration to be factored into how your team writes specs, estimates work, and ships. You'll model that.
- Develop the team. You inherit a strong bench of PMs and POs plus incoming senior talent. Grow them, and hire what's missing.
What You Bring
- 10+ years in product, with 4+ leading product teams; you've owned a product line, not just a feature area
- Deep mortgage or home equity domain expertise; you know what TRID, MISMO, an LOS, and a PPE are without looking them up, and you've shipped into that world
- Experience with enterprise B2B customers where the roadmap is negotiated, committed, and audited; you're credible in front of a bank's EVP
- A delivery-first operating style: comfortable with dev-day estimates, staffing math, and being accountable for dates
- Evidence you build well with AI: tools, agents, or AI-accelerated development in your recent work
- Low ego, high ownership; you run toward escalations
Nice to Have
- Experience with major LOS ecosystems (Encompass, Empower, MSP, or NetOxygen)
- Experience taking a product through a platform migration or re-architecture
- Fintech or regulated-industry scale-up experience
Compensation:
- Base Salary Range: $205,000 – $241,000 (This applies to full time hires. Final offer determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to function, level, geographic location, job related knowledge, skills, and experience.)
- Bonus (if applicable): Eligibility is contingent upon both company performance against established goals and achievement of individual performance objectives.
- Equity : Meaningful Restricted Stock Units in public company stock (NYSE: BLND) so you share in Blend’s long-term growth and success.
Our Benefits At a Glance
We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support your health and work-life balance.
Health & Wellbeing
- We offer medical, dental, and vision benefits, with a generous employer contribution that helps keep your medical insurance costs low.
- Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability coverage
- Generous PTO, holidays, and maternity/parental leave
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): mental health, legal, childcare & eldercare, financial planning, college search, and more
- Voluntary benefits: accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, identity theft, and legal insurance
- Monthly wellness stipend for fitness, mental health, and well-being
- Additional perks: Milk Stork, pet insurance, and paid volunteer time off
Growth & Future
- 401(k) retirement plan with company match
- Pre-tax savings: healthcare & dependent care FSAs, Limited Purpose FSA, and HSA
