Required Qualifications
- 4 + years of experience as a Product Manager delivering B2B or partner-facing platforms, ideally in auto finance, lending, mortgage, or other regulated financial services.
- Demonstrated experience designing user access, role-based permissions, or auto finance or lending workflow systems for external partner organizations.
- Strong hands-on collaboration experience with UX/UI designers, including participation in wireframe reviews and usability testing — not solely requirements documentation.

- Familiarity with loan servicing, payoff processing, or similar lending/financial transaction workflows strongly preferred.
- Working knowledge of data analytics tools for KPI tracking and backlog prioritization.

Key Responsibilities
- Define and own the product roadmap, lead discovery and scoping for expansion.
- Translate business and operational needs into clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering and design can act on.
- Prioritize the backlog based on impact, operational risk, compliance requirements, and business value.
- Lead the product lifecycle from discovery through launch and post-launch optimization, including planning for expansion to other providers.
- Work hands-in with UX/UI designers from discovery through delivery, including wireframe reviews, usability testing, and iterative design critique not just requirements handoff.
- Partner with security, compliance, and engineering to ensure access controls meet enterprise and regulatory standards.
- Understand and define the data, validations, and business rules.
- Identify opportunities to reduce manual handling and processing delays through digital workflow design.
- Define edge cases such as user offboarding, re-approval, dealer-level access changes, and escalation paths for denied or pending registrations.
- Champion a design-informed, user-centered approach to prioritization, balancing dealer usability with internal compliance and risk needs.
- Partner with compliance, risk, and legal teams to define acceptable use policies, data retention rules, and audit requirements for external users.
- Collaborate daily with engineering, design, compliance, risk, operations, and customer support teams.
