Principal Product Manager
Endpoint
Real estate is the largest asset class in the world—and yet it has also been one of the slowest to adopt innovative, new technologies. It has become increasingly important for the industry to evolve alongside a consumer-base who are accustomed to mobile-first, on-demand, and personalized experiences in every area of their lives. Founded in 2018, Endpoint emerged from a collaboration between First American and BCG Digital Ventures, the venture capital arm of the Boston Consulting Group. The new company combines First American’s title and settlement expertise, with the innovative approach of an agile technology company, to provide a seamless real estate closing from start to finish. At Endpoint, we believe the combination of modern technology, a standardized and simplified closing process, and a highly dedicated team of people will completely change the industry – and deliver an experience that instills the joy of an effortless close for all.
Endpoint is looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead a multi-disciplinary Squad responsible for the web, iOS, and Android apps that our buyer, seller, and real estate agent customers use on a daily basis. The Squad will consist of 1-2 dedicated designers and 4-6 dedicated engineers, and the Principal Product Manager will be expected to lead the team - including full ownership and day to day execution of the product roadmap, key initiatives across product / design / engineering, and success measures. This is an integral leadership role within the product organization with broad exposure to the overall Endpoint business.

● Manage integrations with 3rd Party API’s and partners to expand and/or improve functionality within the Endpoint Apps
● Extract, manipulate, and analyze data through SQL, Tableau, and/or Excel in order to provide insights into product efficacy to inform product roadmap (requires detailed understanding of databases, data extraction, manipulation of data)
● Work with engineering leadership to define detailed technical architecture and project planning to support the Endpoint Apps through detailed requirements definition; implement changes that improve engineering velocity, application speed, security, monitoring, and general hardening from an engineering standpoint
● Collaborate with the QA team to ensure high-quality software is being released to end-users; track key metrics to measure QA outputs and improve processes when needed (requires thorough understanding of QA and software release processes, tools, etc.)
● Gather and manage product feedback through surveys, in-person and distributed user testing techniques, customer support and sales feedback, analytics tools, and A/B testing experiments
● Monitor and report on product KPIs and team milestones
