Senior Product Manager (Pricing)
About Opendoor:
Founded in 2014, Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. We believe the traditional real estate process is broken and our goal is simple: build a digital, end-to-end customer experience that makes buying and selling a home simple, certain and fast. We have assembled a dedicated team with diverse backgrounds to support more than 100,000 homes bought and sold with us and the customers who have selected Opendoor as a trusted partner in handling one of their largest financial transactions. But the work is far from over as we continue to grow in new markets. Transforming the real estate industry takes tenacity and dedication. It takes problem solvers and builders. It takes a tight knit community of teammates doing the best work of their lives, pushing one another to transform a complicated process into a simple one. So where do you fit in? Whether you’re passionate about real estate, people, numbers, words, code, or strategy -- we have a place for you. Real estate is broken. Come help us fix it.
We are hiring a Product Manager to help build the systems and algorithms we use to price our homes. Pricing is central to Opendoor and critical to our success. We’re building systems to tackle financial, engineering, and data science challenges that have never been automated before, requiring creative and disciplined product leadership.
Pricing products at Opendoor include everything from our core home valuation models, to operator-facing pricing tools, to resale simulation systems. Human-centered design thinking, machine learning, data engineering, operational excellence, and field research are all part of our toolkit as we work to deliver highly accurate, reliable, and scalable pricing systems. We work closely with our pricing operators, with a heavy emphasis on improving systems through human-in-the-loop approaches. Our team has a massive impact on our profitability, growth, and overall brand and reputation.
