Company backgroundAt OwnHome, we're on a mission to help aspiring homeowners overcome the biggest barrier to homeownership: the deposit gap. While many hardworking Aussies have the ability to repay their monthly mortgages, many find that the 20% deposit needed to access a mortgage keeps growing… and faster than they can save. Homeowners typically retire with 20x the wealth of renters, making declining homeownership rates one of the greatest social challenges of our generation. Meanwhile, two-thirds of First Home Buyers receive direct support from 'The Bank of Mum & Dad'. For those without this help, the road to homeownership is almost $100,00 more expensive and takes almost twice as long. You may think this is unfair (and you'd be right).We're starting by pioneering new ways for families to get onto the property ladder; reducing the upfront costs of homeownership by 20x. And we're closing the deposit gap, using our award-winning service that helps homeowners find, value and pay for their home so that they can stop paying someone else's mortgage, and start building their financial future. The past 12 months have been huge at OwnHome.Amidst everything else, we've grown from 0 to 13B+ worth of applications; and helped families experience thousands of days in their dream home as an owner. To cap it all off, we successfully raised tens of millions in debt investment (for purchasing homes) and completed our $31m Series A capital raise in Feb 2022 with the backing of CBA X15 Ventures, Square Peg (one of Australia's most successful VC funds) and a long list of other prominent investors and partners.Role SpecificWe're looking for a Senior Designer to work across brand, growth, and product design.
