Product Lead

About Roam

At Roam, we're on a mission to make homeownership truly affordable again.

We started Roam because we saw something deeply unfair happening: homeownership, the foundation of financial security and building a brighter future, was becoming impossible for millions of hardworking people. Rising interest rates were shutting people out, making home ownership a distant dream rather than an achievable reality.

We’re helping people reclaim their dream of owning a home by taking advantage of assumable mortgages. These are low-interest loans that sellers can pass directly to buyers, saving them up to 50% on their monthly payments compared to today's traditional mortgages. Our platform makes it easy for buyers to find homes with assumable mortgages, and we guide them every step of the way.

Joining Roam means working on something truly impactful: helping people afford their dream homes, build lasting wealth, and create brighter futures for themselves and their families.

About the role

As Roam’s first Product Manager, you will build out our 0→1 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. 

Here’s what you will be responsible for: 

1. Deeply Understanding Our Customers

   • Spend time with users every week and observe how they interact with Roam 

   • Get inside the heads of buyers to uncover pain points and opportunities for delight and build a mental model that can be informed by user research

2. Drive Metrics & Instrumentation

   • Define the key success metrics and ensure the app is properly instrumented

   • Use data to validate hypotheses, evaluate performance, and iterate quickly.

3. Own the Product Roadmap

   • Prioritize features and initiatives, balancing impact, effort, and confidence 

   • Foster consensus amongst teams about the best ideas where needed 

4. Serve as the Communication Hub

   • Keep internal teams aligned on priorities, scope, and timelines.

   • Update customers about new releases, improvements, and product changes

5. Increase Product Velocity 

   • Run product reviews to evaluate progress and gather feedback.

   • Maintain and refine the product roadmap as new insights emerge.

   • Run sprint planning to ensure engineering teams move quickly and effectively.

6. Develop Product Vision

   • Help make bold decisions about where to invest and what to cut.

   • Elevate the product from just “removing pain” to creating moments of delight.

   • Aim to build a product users love, not just use.

What we're looking for

• Experience launching 0→1 products: You’ve led new products from concept to launch, 

• Customer-centric mindset: You live to talk to make things simple for customers 

• Data fluency: You’re hands-on with analytics. Able to understand where anecdotes and data conflict

• Consensus-building: You excel at listening to different perspectives and synthesizing them into a clear, shared roadmap.

• Systems thinking: You anticipate how changes at the top of the funnel impact everything downstream.

• Leadership: You’ll be our first PM, and we want you to be ready to shape the product culture at Roam, set high standards, and inspire those around you.

Why join Roam?

• High-Impact Role: As our first PM, you’ll directly shape the product strategy, team culture, and future of Roam.

• Fast-Growing Environment: We’re scaling quickly, giving you lots of opportunities for growth, ownership, and visible results.
