Blend is seeking a Head of Product for Home Lending to own the product strategy and execution for the company's largest and most strategic business line. You will lead a team of 7 product managers and product owners across four areas: Flagship (core mortgage and home equity), Rapid (fast-deploy products), Verifications (credit, income, asset checks), and Documents & Delivery (disclosures and AI-powered document handling). In this full P&L-owned role, you will set vision and roadmap, run the operating rhythm, and be accountable for customer commitments and delivery. Key responsibilities include: owning the home lending roadmap while balancing new implementations, customer commitments, compliance work, and strategic bets; running a commitment engine that tracks what was promised versus actual delivery; scaling the Rapid business by partnering with sales and engineering to industrialize scoping, pricing, and delivery; leading strategic relationships with major financial institutions (top-10 US banks, regional banks, credit unions); co-owning the strategy for migrating home lending to Blend's Mosaic platform; embedding AI into product specs and development estimates; and developing a strong team of PMs and POs. You will work with enterprise B2B customers where roadmaps are negotiated and audited, requiring credibility with bank executives. Blend's platform processes over $5 billion in loans daily for 330+ financial services firms including Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank. Required: 10+ years in product with 4+ years leading product teams; deep mortgage/home equity domain expertise (TRID, MISMO, LOS, PPE); experience with enterprise B2B customers and committed roadmaps; delivery-first operating style with comfort in dev-day estimates and accountability for dates; evidence of building with AI tools and agents; low ego with high ownership. Nice to have: experience with major LOS ecosystems (Encompass, Empower, MSP, NetOxygen); platform migration or re-architecture experience; fintech or regulated-industry scale-up background.
