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 TEAM Where you sit. You'll be joining the Origination stream, the product area responsible for the end-to-end mortgage journey, covering self-serve and advisor-supported application flows, underwriting, decisioning, and funding. This is a Senior PM role where part of your mandate is to help shape and own your specific substream within origination. You'll work closely with the stream lead, and together you'll define the boundaries of your focus area based on your strengths, the team's needs, and where the biggest opportunities are. It's a rare chance to have real influence over your own scope from day one. Your closest collaborators will be engineering teams building on Nesto Cloud, mortgage operations and underwriting experts who live inside these processes daily, and the brokers and advisors who depend on these tools to serve clients. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Act as one of the primary origination subject-matter experts for your substream, deeply understanding end-to-end origination processes, regulatory requirements, and operational realities. Define and own the product vision, roadmap, and feature prioritization for your area, ensuring it reflects real-world origination requirements, operational efficiencies, and compliance considerations. Identify and assess the impact of new lending features, regulatory changes, and origination workflow evolutions to help shape product direction and support strategic decisions. Work closely with engineering, design, QA, operations, and compliance to validate designs and proposed solutions, ensuring they align with origination best practices and industry standards. Support the backlog refinement process by prioritizing origination-related epics and stories, balancing customer experience, operational needs, and technical feasibility. Participate in release planning, UAT, and pre-launch readiness to ensure origination use cases are fully supported, edge cases are addressed, and downstream impacts are understood. Conduct research on industry trends, evolving regulations, origination technologies, and competitor approaches, bringing insights to guide product evolution. Create and maintain detailed documentation of origination processes, scenarios, requirements, and system behaviours to support product teams and cross-functional stakeholders. Act as the go-to expert for your origination workflows, answering questions, supporting issue triage, and ensuring the product supports exceptional origination experiences across all lending products. AI-Augmented Ways of Working Actively use AI tools (Cursor, Claude, Figma AI, Gemini, and others) to accelerate your PM workflow from discovery through delivery: synthesizing research, prototyping ideas, and measuring results. Don't wait for a perfect process to test a hypothesis. Use the tools available to you to get to answers faster, whether that means building a rough prototype, running a quick experiment, or drafting a solution to pressure-test with users before it becomes a roadmap item. Comfortable going beyond traditional PM boundaries when the situation calls for it, the best people here don't hand off and wait, they stay close to the work and use every tool at their disposal to move it forward. Stay ahead of how AI is reshaping mortgage origination and bring informed recommendations to the roadmap. Share what you discover. How you work should make the people aro
