ABOUT NESTO AND NESTO CLOUD

Canada's leading mortgage technology company.

Nesto is Canada’s leading provider of mortgage technology and financing solutions, managing $73B+ CAD in residential and commercial mortgages, with 1,000+ team members across 12 offices nationwide. You will be working on Nesto Cloud, Canada’s most advanced cloud platform, delivering end-to-end technology solutions for lenders in the digital age.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Where you sit.

You'll join one of our product streams — [e.g. Origination] — working shoulder-to-shoulder with a Product Manager who owns the strategy and roadmap for the area. Your job is to own how that strategy becomes reality: turning initiatives into well-sequenced epics, ready-to-build stories, and predictable delivery, while keeping the team aligned and unblocked.

This is a delivery-focused role on the product management track. You own the path from a defined initiative to a shipped feature, end-to-end. Your closest collaborators are the Product Manager whose strategy you deliver, the Engineering Manager who owns how it's built, and the engineers, designers, and mortgage operations experts who bring it to life.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

  • Own the delivery of features in your area, end-to-end — from a defined initiative through to shipped, working product. You stay close to the work; you don't hand off and wait.
  • Break initiatives into a logical, correctly-sequenced set of epics, then slice those into clear, buildable stories with acceptance criteria sharp enough that engineering can start without a meeting. (You'll partner closely with your PM on epic sequencing early, and own it fully as your judgment proves out.)
  • Own scope and feature delivery but when a call touches a critical tradeoff, bring a recommendation — not just a question — and let the PM make the strategic call.
  • Keep your team aligned and moving: be the day-to-day product point of contact, resolve delivery blockers fast, and escalate the cross-team ones that need the PM.
  • Own delivery status for every feature in flight. Stakeholders always know where things stand, and risks or slippage get flagged early with a recommended path forward.
  • Partner tightly with your Engineering Manager: you own what, how much, and in what order; they own how it's built and the health of the team.
  • Stay close to UAT, release planning, and pre-launch readiness so edge cases are addressed and downstream impacts are understood before launch.
  • Grow your product judgment continuously — reasoning about user and business value and correct sequencing, not just what's fastest to build.

AI-Augmented Ways of Working

  • Actively use AI tools (Cursor, Claude, Figma AI, Gemini, and others) to accelerate your workflow — synthesizing requirements, drafting epics and stories, generating documentation, and pressure-testing breakdowns before they hit the backlog.
  • Don't wait for a perfect process. Use the tools available to get to a clear, buildable plan faster.
  • Stay close to the work and use every tool at your disposal to move it forward.
  • Share what you discover. How you work should make the people around you better.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The profile.

  • 2-4+ years of experience in product ownership, or a delivery product role.
  • Demonstrated ability to take a defined outcome and break it into clear, correctly-sequenced, buildable work that a team can execute without constant clarification.
  • Writes acceptance criteria and documentation that remove ambiguity rather than create it.
  • Keeps a team aligned and moving, spotting drift, dependencies, and blockers early and acts on them immediately.
  • Comfortable making and defending scope and sequencing calls as priorities shift, which they will.
  • Enough product instinct (or the clear trajectory toward it) to reason about user and business value, not just deliverability.
  • Strong communication skills: able to explain complex requirements clearly to Product, Engineering, and operations.
  • Proven, active fluency with AI tools across your workflow. We will ask you specifically how you use them.

PREFERRED BUT NOT A MUST

  • Exposure to mortgage origination, lending, or a regulated financial services environment.
  • Familiarity with LOS or lending platforms, or translating operational needs into system requirements.
  • Prior experience owning delivery across multiple concurrent work streams.

YOU SHOULDN'T APPLY IF

Be honest with yourself.

  • You want to own product strategy and roadmap right now. This role owns the delivery of the strategy and grows toward owning the strategy, your judgment is built here, not assumed on day one.
  • You need a fixed, frozen spec to work from. Priorities shift here; you'll be re-sequencing and re-scoping continuously.
  • You hand off a set of tickets and consider your job done. Ownership here runs from a defined initiative all the way to shipped, working product.
  • You treat AI tools as a curiosity rather than a daily accelerant.
  • You don't thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and sometimes ambiguous environment.
  • You are not open to experimentation and continuous improvement.
