[Hiring] Mortgage Originations, Product Manager Principal @Experian

Role Description

The Mortgage Originations, Product Manager Principal role is a senior mortgage industry product leader who brings deep credibility across mortgage credit, underwriting workflows, and industry standards. You will lead innovation and modernization efforts across Experian's mortgage originations products while stewarding existing, mission‑critical solutions.

You will represent Experian with clients, resellers, and industry organizations — including in forums such as MISMO — and will be expected to speak fluently about how mortgage credit data is used, governed, and operationalized across the mortgage ecosystem.

You bring deep mortgage and credit expertise and can translate that knowledge into scalable, real‑world products used by mortgage lenders and partners. You understand the complexity of the U.S. housing and mortgage landscape, including how regulations, standards, and governance processes shape what products can be built and how they are delivered.

You will apply your market and domain expertise to serve both direct lender and reseller clients. You will provide solutions that improve underwriting outcomes, mitigate risk for lenders and investors, and advance the industry toward more modern, efficient practices. You understand the full mortgage lifecycle and its key stakeholders and ensure products are designed to serve the needs of the broader ecosystem.

You will own the product vision and strategy. You will identify gaps and opportunities within the existing portfolio. You will lead the end‑to‑end launch of new solutions in partnership with multiple Experian business units, including Product Development, Sales, Marketing, and Client Services. As the "CEO" of your product area, you are the most knowledgeable person in the room. You have expertise in how your products operate, how they are used, their downstream industry impact, competitive positioning, and financial performance.

Experian Mortgage operates within a highly matrixed environment. You must be comfortable partnering with leaders across Product, Engineering, Finance, Sales, Legal, Compliance, Marketing, and the Executive Team.

Your success will measure itself by product adoption, revenue growth, client satisfaction, and Experian's establishment of its position as a trusted mortgage credit partner in the industry.
