Job Opening for Director, Product Marketing in LendingTree (Charlotte, NC)

If you’re looking for an opportunity with an established, well-known company, but like to work in a small, dynamic, highly collaborative start-up style environment, then you’ve come to the right place!

As the nation’s largest online lending marketplace, we are changing the way borrowers borrow and lenders lend. Our goal is to help people save money, and we believe the best way to do that is by giving them a way to shop for loans and compare lenders so we can connect them with the choices they need to gain confidence in their financial decisions.

Our CEO Doug Lebda founded the company in 1996 after a frustrating house-hunting experience. In those days, we mostly helped people find good mortgage deals. Now, we help consumers find their best in personal loans, auto loans, business loans, student loans, credit cards, savings accounts, home equity loans and more.
