Product Marketing Lead

What we're doing

Owning a home is a foundational part of building financial security and wealth in America. However, the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review.

We're here to change it.

Vesta was founded to rebuild the mortgage LOS from the ground up. Our founding belief is that the future of mortgage lending will be a fully automated process. Today, our AI augmented platform makes that a reality. Our mission has been to build a platform where AI isn't just an add-on, but the core engine that transforms how a loan is actually manufactured.

Who we are

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open, and automated origination experience, benefiting financial institutions and their customers.

And, we're not alone.

We've raised $85M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures.

We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to be part of building the infrastructure that will power the future of the finance industry, we would love to hear from you!

The role

You'll be Vesta's first Product Marketing Lead, doing the product positioning, proof and launch work directly. You'll report to the Head of Marketing.

The learning curve is steep. A single mortgage runs through thousands of pages of underwriting guidelines, agency and investor rules, compliance review, and a chain of outside parties from settlement agents to insurers. You'll learn it from teammates who spent decades inside lenders, from our customers and from the product, until you can explain a lender's operation back to its own executives.

Your audience is senior operators at large lenders, where decisions go through buying committees and long sales cycles. The core of the job is showing them why they can trust our AI agents, how to put them to work, and how they change the cost of making a loan.

You'll work closely with product and sales, and since the function is new, you'll help shape how it works with both. The rest of marketing handles demand generation and everything else.

What you'll own

• How Vesta's products, including AI agents, are positioned, named and explained to lenders
• Proof a risk-averse lender will act on: customer results, references and benchmarks
• Demos and launch stories that walk through how each new AI agent reaches its decisions, in terms an experienced underwriter would sign off on
• A repeatable launch process for product, sales, and implementation teams

What you bring

• 5+ years of product marketing for B2B software sold to buying committees, ideally to risk-averse buyers in regulated industries like fintech, lending, banking, insurance, payroll, benefits or compliance
• A history of choosing harder domains over familiar ones, with a specific example of how you got fluent in one
• A track record of positioning work that shaped product decisions
• Writing that makes complex work clear, both to the executives who run it and to people who've never seen it
• Bonus: time as an early or first product marketer at a venture-backed startup, or mortgage or lending experience

Benefits and Perks

• Robust medical, vision, & dental coverage (~100% of employee premiums covered)
• FSA plan offering
• 401(K) plan offering
• Meaningful parental leave - 16 weeks fully paid for all new parents, birthing & non-birthing parents (applies to adoptions as well!)
• Remote-first culture with a physical hub in the Bay area and NY!
• Generous Work From Anywhere & Wellness Benefits
• Monthly cell & wifi stipend
• Monthly Doordash benefits
• Open & encouraged flexible time off
• Company offsites to get to know the team!

Our cash compensation for this role is targeted at $165,000 - $200,000. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed.

At Vesta, we believe that the only way we can tackle the challenging problems in front of us is by having diverse perspectives and an environment that promotes inclusivity. We're committed to equal opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, gender, gender identity, parental or pregnancy status, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
