[Remote] Senior Product Manager | Bankrate

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Bankrate is redefining the future of financial decision-making, and they are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own major portions of the squad’s roadmap. This role focuses on the Supply platform ecosystem, ensuring scalability, reliability, and clarity across pricing, data, and advertiser workflows.

Responsibilities

• Define multi-quarter direction and measurable outcomes, synthesizing complex insights into clear direction
• Articulate a cohesive modernization roadmap from a product lens to handle increased scale, complexity, and volume across the pricing engine and supporting systems
• Lead cross-functional execution across engineering, design, and data science for complex initiatives, ensuring work is delivered with clarity, quality, and measurable impact
• Partner with Engineering and Design leads to ensure strong execution health, technical quality, and appropriate sequencing of foundational vs. feature work
• Create structure and alignment across multiple roadmap streams
• Frame strategic tradeoffs explicitly and guide investment decisions using customer needs, advertiser outcomes, platform health, and business impact
• Maintain appropriate distance from specific solutions as scope increases, focusing instead on underlying problems, constraints, and system behavior
• Define success metrics tied to platform scalability, pricing effectiveness, advertiser outcomes, and system reliability
• Use quantitative and qualitative insights to guide prioritization and validate outcomes
• Build voice-of-customer connection by working with stakeholders to gain direct access to customers and advertisers for validation
• Develop deep mastery of the product domain, users, and underlying systems—including Loantek’s pricing logic, integrations, constraints, and operational realities—to serve as a trusted source of context
• Use this judgment to anticipate implications and downstream effects
• Apply this expertise to shape strategy, guide others, and inform cross-domain tradeoffs rather than to control individual solutions

Skills

• Demonstrated ability to manage a strategic horizon of 6–18 months owning complex, interconnected platform components rather than isolated features
• Deep experience or strong familiarity with a home lending pricing engine or PPE, ideally in mortgage or refinance contexts
• Experience with platforms such as Optimal Blue, Mortech, or similar pricing engines is highly valued
• Prior experience with mortgage pricing, rate logic, eligibility constraints, margins, and advertiser considerations is strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to modernize legacy platforms and scale systems to handle increased volume and complexity
• Expert ability to synthesize complex insights into clear, actionable direction
• A technical background, either as an engineer or in a product role focused on complex backend systems, is strongly preferred
• Experience defining and driving measurable outcomes rather than just output, with a proven track record in revenue-impacting or platform-critical systems
• Ability to build alignment across multiple roadmap streams, stakeholders, and cross-functional partners
• Demonstrated ability to focus on system behavior, legacy complexity, and constraints rather than premature implementation details
• Ability to adjust the level of solution involvement based on the role and strategic horizon

• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Holiday Pay
