Department Description
Palmetto Home is a branch of Palmetto focused on the democratization of the renewable energy and HVAC industries. We provide homeowners with financial products to benefit from solar power, energy storage systems, and home efficiency through advanced heating and cooling technologies. We empower solar and HVAC sales professionals and installation companies with access to our proprietary platform, financing, customer management system, and milestone quality control system. Our #1 focus is a phenomenal experience for our customers and partners, evidenced in our growing financial product adoption.
As Senior Product Manager for Palmetto Home, you will own end-to-end product strategy and execution for one or more market segments of our consumer financing business. In addition, you'll hold product ownership of the core technical components that power our origination, underwriting, onboarding, and servicing across all segments.
This is a builder's role. You'll work in a fast-growing, rapidly diversifying business unit where the problems are interesting and the opportunity to define something meaningful is real. You'll partner with engineering, design, data, operations, and business leaders — as well as external capital providers, installer partners, and service integrators — to ship products that scale efficiently and create durable value.
This role reports to the VP of Product.
