The Product Specialist at Bilt ensures products are designed, launched, and improved through collaboration and feedback across teams. Responsibilities include advocating for customers, analyzing performance, identifying improvements, and ensuring product quality.
What is Bilt?
Bilt is the membership for where you live, transforming rent and mortgage payments into valuable rewards while connecting members with exclusive benefits in their neighborhood.
With every on-time rent or mortgage payment, Bilt Members earn Bilt Points – the industry's most valuable and flexible points currency. They can transfer their points 1:1 to their favorite airlines or hotels with our industry leading travel program, use them for future rent payments, redeem for everyday purchases, or save them for a down payment on a home. Plus, unlock exclusive rewards on the 1st of every month with Rent Day®.
Bilt Members get even more value at their favorite local spots with exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™ at local restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, on Lyft rides, and more–over 45,000 merchants nationwide. When they use any linked card with our neighborhood partners, they’ll earn Bilt Points and access special experiences including complimentary items, member events, and more.
While Bilt Members can use many payment methods to earn points and access their benefits, Bilt has a suite of 3 cards offering the richest rewards in the market - and the first and only card suite that lets you pay rent and earn points without the transaction fee.

- Team Events - We believe in human connection so we hold events to help our employees break from the monotony of the typical work week.
At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.
The salary range for a Product Specialist is $70,000 - 120,000 and will be eligible for equity and an annual performance-based bonus.
