Here at Hometap, we’re collaborative, passionate, and always ready to roll up our sleeves to create solutions that help people get more out of homeownership — and out of life. Our first product, a home equity investment, gives homeowners the opportunity to quickly access the equity they’ve built in their home to pay for what’s most important to them, from handling debt to finally making much-needed renovations, without taking on debt.
We work hard, and have some fun along the way, too. You don’t have to take our word for it: The Boston Globe and Forbes have recognized us as a great place to work, and we’ve been honored for our commitment to innovation in the fintech space by Inc., HousingWire, and more!
In case you need any more convincing, we also provide competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, generous PTO, a meaningful equity package, and a strong culture with plenty of opportunities for team-building and camaraderie.
Who you are:
We're looking for an innovative, analytical, and motivated self-starter to join our Financial Product Strategy team. In this role, you'll be responsible for modeling, structuring, and developing new financial products—think pricing, terms, risk/return profiles, and investor positioning—not software features. You'll also work on improvements to existing financial products that deliver substantial value for Hometap, homeowners, and capital partners.
This is a highly technical role where you'll become a subject matter expert on how Hometap's investment products are constructed, priced, and brought to market within the competitive and capital markets landscape. An ideal candidate would bring a mix of banking/investment expertise along with in-house experience developing and analyzing financial products. You'll need to be an expert at building financial models, balancing with the technical work with an always-on strategic lens.
As a key member of an impactful team responsible for executing Hometap's financial product roadmap, you'll work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure alignment and prioritization within the broader company strategy. This position reports to the Director of Financial Products and offers strong visibility and direct exposure to executive decision-makers.
What you'll do:
- Conduct analysis of financial products, including but not limited to asset modeling, portfolio performance modeling, business case modeling, and scenario analysis
- Develop subject matter expertise on Hometap's financial products, including how they work and fit into the competitive landscape
- Research and develop potential new products and product changes, from hypothesis testing to supporting initial launch plans
- Contribute to pricing, structuring and feature decisions that optimize and evolve financial products
- Develop and maintain processes to continuously track, document, and synthesize information on relevant market trends
- Vet and prioritize opportunities for inclusion in the financial product roadmap, working closely with Finance, Data Science, Marketing, and Capital to create a compelling, data-driven rationale for each one
- Support creation of investor GTM narrative, including rationale supporting the product’s pricing, structure, assumptions, and methodologies
- Develop expertise on methodologies and solutions that influence the success of our financial products (e.g., valuation, property type policy)
- Be accountable for product competitiveness for target homeowners and investors
- Lead by example and embody Hometap’s values
What you bring:
- 3+ years of relevant experience in financial product development (or similar) in an operating company, investment banking, consulting, or private equity
- Outstanding modeling, analytical and critical thinking skills, including the ability to identify and synthesize key points in any analysis
- Solutions-oriented approach to complex problems with a strong bias for action
- Empathy and curiosity for homeowner and investor perspectives
- A quick learner with a track record of delivering business results through analysis – resourceful, self-sufficient, and energized by fast-paced, growth-stage environments
- Positive relationship building capabilities and ability to work cross-functionally
- Clear and effective communicator with very strong presentation skills
- Prioritization skills that balance both short-term and long-term objectives
- Business acumen that balances pragmatics, analytics and impact
- Prior experience in capital markets (alternative asset investing or fintech) and residential real estate financing is a plus
Our team is what makes us great. The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $140,000, depending on your experience, skills, location, and other factors. You’ll also receive meaningful equity, so you can share in our growth and success. We offer generous medical, dental, and vision coverage, a work-from-home stipend, parental leave, and plenty of paid time off to recharge.
Hometap is an equal opportunity employer. We provide employment opportunities regardless of race, age, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, national origin, pregnancy, marital, veteran, or disability status. If there is an accommodation that would support your ability to apply and interview with Hometap, please let us know by emailing [email protected].
