Product Manager, Loans (MANTL)

Alkami Technology is a leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for financial institutions in the United States. They are seeking a Product Manager to take ownership of their indirect lending capabilities, leading the discovery and delivery of integrations with dealership ecosystem providers while ensuring a cohesive Loan Origination product.

Responsibilities:

• Lead discovery for indirect lending integrations
• Partner with beta customers and internal stakeholders to map current-state indirect lending workflows, constraints, and success criteria
• Translate “dealership-to-FI” processes into clear product requirements, edge cases, and a phased rollout plan
• Build strong intuition for the ecosystem (dealership platforms, routing, statuses, and operational realities) and bake that into a cohesive MANTL experience
• Own execution end-to-end (with a strong technical orientation)
• Drive the full product lifecycle—discovery > roadmap planning > delivery > launch > iteration—with a bias toward measurable outcomes
• Partner tightly with engineering to define integration contracts (APIs/events), data mappings, error handling, observability, and operational tooling
• Act as DRI for cross-functional alignment: sequencing, tradeoffs, comms, and stakeholder updates (internally and with design partners)
• Work hands on with beta customers to implement your product and translate learning into a playbook for implementation teams
• Deliver a cohesive Loan Origination product
• Collaborate with the broader Loans product leadership to ensure indirect capabilities feel like a first-class extension of the core Loan Origination experience
• Contribute to ongoing improvements across the Loans surface area as needed (small features, workflow refinements, or operational tooling)
• Measure impact and drive iteration
• Define success metrics for the indirect lending motion (e.g., time-to-submit, approval/decision turnaround, fallouts, operational exceptions, integration uptime)
• Establish feedback loops with customers and internal teams to continuously improve reliability and usability

Requirements:

• 2–4 years of experience in product management, solutions/integrations PM, technical program management, or a similar role that demonstrates product sense and that you can own outcomes
• Demonstrated experience shipping B2B SaaS products that integrate with external systems (APIs, data mapping, workflows, partner dependencies)
• Comfort operating in ambiguity: you can run discovery, choose the right approach, and turn it into a concrete plan
• Strong technical fluency: you can partner effectively with engineers on integration design, systems behavior, and quality—without needing to be an engineer
• Strong product craft: requirements clarity, prioritization, sequencing, and high-quality delivery
• High ownership and follow-through: you drive a plan across functions and land it
• You enjoy being hands-on with customers—interviews, workflow walkthroughs, requirement validation, and iterative pilots
• Low ego, high urgency: you're 'hard on problems, not people,' and you thrive in a fast-moving environment
• Experience in lending, loan origination systems (LOS), or indirect lending
• Familiarity with dealership ecosystem categories/providers (e.g., Dealertrack, RouteOne, CDK)
• Experience with regulated financial services workflows
• Comfort using SQL or basic data analysis to validate hypotheses and debug issues
