Mutual of Omaha Mortgage is hiring a Technical Product Owner โ AI to own the performance and lifecycle of our AI products.

- Own vendor evaluations end-to-end โ requirements, scoring, reference checks, contract input, and onboarding through the EVMP and AI governance processesย
- Author, version, and tune prompts for voice agents, SMS agents, and assistive AI tools across the customer and loan officer journeysย
- Design and run prompt evaluations: build eval sets from real conversations, score outputs against rubrics, and iterate systematically rather than anecdotallyย
- Translate operational requirements (compliance disclosures, escalation rules, brand voice, edge cases) into prompts, tools, and guardrails the model willย actually followย
- Write production-quality SQL against Databricks, Salesforce, Encompass, and call/conversation log sources to investigate performance, build dashboards, and answer ad-hoc questionsย
- Partner with data engineering on the schemas, pipelines, and event tracking needed to measure AI product performanceย
- Read API documentation, debug integrations, and reason about call flows, webhooks, and tool-use patterns at a level where you can have a substantive conversation with engineersย
- Serve as the single point of accountability for assigned AI products: align stakeholders across Sales, Operations, Compliance, Legal, and Engineeringย
- Contribute to AI governance reviews and ensure products meet NIST AI RMF expectations and applicable state AI law requirementsย
Required Qualifications:ย
- 5+ years in technical product management, product ownership, or a comparable applied AI/ML product role, including direct ownership of a production AI or ML productโs performance metricsย
- Demonstrated 0-to-1 experience โ you have shipped at least one product from blank-page concept to live, measured users, and can speak credibly about what worked, what failed, and whyย
- Hands-on prompt engineering โ you have written, evaluated, and iterated on production prompts for LLM-based products (chat, voice, SMS, agent-assist, or similar)ย
- Strong SQL โ comfortable writing multi-table joins, window functions, and CTEs without help; can pull and analyze your own data on Databricks, SQL Server, or equivalentย
- Data fluency โ comfortable with funnels, cohort analysis, and basic statistical reasoning; able to build a dashboard or explanatory chart yourselfย
- Technical literacy โ you can read REST API docs, trace a webhook, and discuss system design with engineers without needing translationย
- Operating rigor โ strong written communication, structured PRDs, clear success criteria, andย a track recordย of holding yourself and your partners to measurable outcomesย
- Salesforce experience โ hands-on experience working with Salesforce as a product owner, admin, or power user; comfortable with objects, flows, reports, and SOQLย
- Mortgage industry experience โ direct experience with mortgage operations, loan origination, or servicing (HECM/reverse, forward, or related)ย
Preferred Qualifications:ย
- Experience with conversational AI platforms (Bland AI,ย ElevenLabs, Twilio, Five9, or similar) and contact center architectureย
- Startup or early-stage product experience โ comfortย operatingย in ambiguity, building from scratch, and moving fast without heavy processย
- Familiarity with Databricks and the Lakehouse/Medallion data architecture patternย
- Familiarity with NIST AI RMF and U.S. state AI law landscape (Colorado, Texas, California, Utah)ย
