Senior Product Manager

Meet Athena, the Home Loan Wrecker
Athena launched in 2019 with a simple mission: help Aussie borrowers save money and pay down their home loans faster. Our digital mortgage platform radically simplifies the application process, passing on the savings to customers.
Since then, we've grown. We've built Australia's first cloud-native home loan platform covering the full value chain - acquire, originate, service, and fund. And we've expanded our focus beyond direct customers, also partnering with brokers to bring a broad range of lending solutions to more Australians, including specialised lending products that meet diverse borrower needs.
Athena has been recognised with multiple consumer lending and industry awards including Canstar Outstanding Value and Innovation Excellence awards, RateCity and Mozo awards, and Fintech Lender and Fintech CEO of the year
