About Us

Bridgit is a leading non-bank lender transforming the way Australians access property equity. Purpose-built to make property transactions faster and easier, we pioneered the Buy Now, Sell Later solution - empowering homeowners to unlock their property equity and move on their terms. With a simple digital application, fast approvals, and flexible loan options, we're making property finance seamless and stress-free.

We're now five years old and making huge strides. We've accredited over three-quarters of Australia's broker network, and launched white label solutions with Australia's largest aggregators - Connective, Aussie Home Loans, Finsure, and Loan Market Group - and we're just getting started.

Our momentum has been recognised with awards including Best Growth Story at the 2025 Fintech Awards, the 2025 Finder People's Choice Award for Lending Innovation, Deloitte's Tech Fast 50 2025, and a place among LinkedIn's Top 20 Startups in Australia 2025.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own Buy Now, Sell Later, the bridging finance product Bridgit was built on. Reporting to the Product Director - Mortgages, you'll own the product's roadmap and performance end to end.

• Build a deep understanding of our brokers and customers, using research, feedback and data to find the problems most worth solving.
• Use competitor insight across price, policy and product to identify where bridging needs to evolve, and bring clear recommendations to the Product Director - Mortgages.
• Partner with Credit to understand how policy shapes the bridging experience, including peak debt, end debt, serviceability and valuations. Identify where changes to product and policy can improve approval speed and quality.
• Get hands-on with solution design, including process flows, wireframes, prototypes and user stories, to turn concepts into developer‑ready features.
• Break large initiatives into smaller releases that each deliver value and build towards the longer‑term roadmap.
• Work closely with Engineering, Design, Platform, Operations, Credit, Distribution and Compliance to deliver on time and to a high standard.
• Lead testing and rollout, then measure results after launch and feed what you learn back into the roadmap.
• Build business cases for significant bridging initiatives, with success measures defined before work begins.

What we’re looking for:

• 6+ years' experience in product management, including ownership of a product or major product area.
• Experience in lending (ideally residential mortgages), bridging finance and a working understanding of credit policy and the broker distribution model.
• A track record of using data and customer insight to make product decisions and measure outcomes.
• Strong commercial judgement: you understand how price, policy and product combine to win in market.
• Comfort working closely with engineering teams and getting into technical detail.
• Clear, confident communication with everyone from brokers to executives.
• A proactive approach and comfort with ambiguity.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with bridging, equity release or specialist lending products.
• Any exposure to tools like Jira, Trello, Notion, or similar.
