We are seeking an experienced Product Manager who is a team player with exceptional communication and CRM expertise.

No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.
Where Financial Services fits in For most Australians, buying property also means finding finance. Yet to date, the search for property and the search for finance have been managed separately.

The journey to obtain property finance has many milestones - from researching as a consumer right through to becoming a client of a broker or lender. Pathways may start with a property or a finance first focus, but ultimately will always end with a lender – either directly or via a mortgage broker.
Our objective is to make it easy to find and finance property by building the #1 retail broker business and online marketplace by servicing each of these unique journeys and phases regardless of channel, to grow, nurture and convert into a customer. We aim to demystify the most complicated aspect of obtaining finance by providing an eco-system centred around helping the consumer.
