What will my day-to-day be like?
Product managers at Origin have a lot of freedom to decide how they spend their time. Still, they are ultimately responsible for ensuring that we are working on the highest-impact projects and executing at a world-class level.
You will own our Investments products. We offer an investment portfolio tracker that enables users to understand their portfolio performance and composition at every level. We are also expanding further by offering a brokerage account product that is primed for significant growth over the years to come. You would own the product vision, strategy, and execution for making Origin into the premiere destination for both monitoring existing investments and investing in the market directly, all with the help of a financial expert.

- Work directly with Origin’s executive team to define the vision and strategy for your area of product and business
- Deeply understand the market, our customers, and our users to democratize financial planning and make it accessible to the masses
- Collaborate with a team of engineers and designers to translate your vision into products that are highly impactful and delightful to use by developing user stories and product requirements and engaging in usability and prototype testing

- Interact directly with customers and users to unearth pain points and discover new product opportunities
- Ship with pace and urgency while keeping a high quality bar
Requirements
We're looking for someone who is a true problem-solver at heart and who wants to help bring financial well-being to the masses. You don't shy away from new challenges; the harder the problem, the better. You are motivated by the fact that our product doesn't just affect the lives of a few people - it affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
You have a strong desire to dive into an industry with huge problems and opportunities in an effort to drive transformational change. You are intensely focused on identifying problems and finding the right solution. You thrive in a fast-paced and results-oriented environment and are willing to take risks and experience failure.
