Senior Product Owner
Our client is a successful software company, based in Baltimore MD, that enjoys the freedom to chart its own path. Their team is a small, close-knit community, where each person can make a big impact. They are nimble and have thrived for over 15 years in the midst of constant industry and regulatory upheaval. They believe in using their talents to make a positive impact on the world by improving the financial lives of Americans. As lifelong learners, they have a passion for change and constantly adapt everything (business, internal processes, tools ). They enjoy a wide diversity of backgrounds and opinions, which can lead to passionate debates. They wear multiple hats, often stretch beyond their comfort zone, and see failure as an opportunity to learn. They have fun inventing advanced analytical solutions and creating great user experiences.
What they do
In 2000, they started a revolution by exposing the inner workings of the credit scoring industry to consumers, pioneering a new industry. Millions of people have been using their tools to take control of their credit life, gain access to better loans, and save money. More recently, they have enabled the mortgage origination industry to replace guesswork with technology when trying to improve credit scores. As a result, more consumers now qualify for a mortgage at a good rate, and thousands of loan officers, mortgage lenders and other businesses can better serve their customers and make more money.
