  • Serve as the senior leader relationship owner for key lending partners.
Marketplace Economics & Commercial Performance
  • Own lender pricing, economics, and monetization across waterfall and multi-lender marketplace models.
  • Optimize the marketplace across approval rates, consumer conversion, contractor economics, lender returns, and 360's margin.

  • Lead commercial negotiations covering pricing, revenue share, economics, product structures, SLAs, and partnership terms.
  • Develop and execute strategies to maximize the long-term value of the lender ecosystem.
