Boom is on a mission to level the playing field for the 110+ million renters in the US by making housing more flexible, affordable, and rewarding. Boom is building a suite of rental financial services for renters and property managers, including tenant screening, rent payment reporting, rent reporting-as-a-service, and a number of integrations with the largest property management systems (PMS). Boom serves renters through the Boom App and property managers via the Boom Platform. Now serving thousands of renters, Boom is led by second-time founder Rob Whiting (ex-BCG, Rubicon). It's backed by investors such as Starting Line, Clocktower Ventures, Gilgamesh Ventures (Petal co-founders), and angels such as William Hockey and Zach Perret (Co-founders of Plaid) and Harry Stebbings. Boom has been profiled by Inman, Business Insider, HousingWire, and more.
You will own execution for parts of Boom's products, working closely with the Senior Product Manager to help shape the roadmap and drive day-to-day delivery. You will report directly to the Senior Product Manager, and work closely with engineering, UX designers, and QA — with regular exposure to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product Officer as you take on more ownership. You'll need to be able to toggle between deep detail (e.g. user experience flows, payment flows, technical documentation) while keeping the broader business strategy and product direction in mind. This role is a great fit for someone who is highly-organized, works well cross-functionally, and wants to ship real products and features; it's not a great fit for someone who wants to do market analysis, benchmarking, slide decks, etc. This is a great opportunity to learn from and work closely with a talented team from places like BCG, Amazon, Grubhub, Eco, and others, with a clear growth path toward greater product ownership. This role is based in Austin alongside our product and leadership team.
