Product Manager

About RoamOur mission at Roam is to make homeownership 2x more affordable for Americans. Roam's initial focus is to help buyers wind back the clock on interest rates by purchasing a home with a low-rate assumable mortgage, a type of loan where the buyer can take over the mortgage terms from the seller. All government-backed loans such as FHA and VA loans are eligible for assumption by law, and there are millions of these loans at rates below 4%. With a low-rate assumable mortgage, buyers can save up to 50% on monthly payments compared to buying with a traditional mortgage at today's rates.Roam helps buyers find these homes for sale with the first-ever listing platform for homes with assumable mortgages. In addition, Roam manages all steps in the assumption process, acting as a specialized transaction coordinator to quarterback the entire process end-to-end on behalf of buyer and seller to ensure they close on time.About the roleAs Roam's first Product Manager, you will build out our 01 product initiatives that empower homebuyers and sellers to take advantage of low-rate assumable mortgages.
