> Own strategy and execution for a major product surface area. Drive measurable outcomes in adoption, revenue, and retention by partnering closely with design, engineering, and GTM teams.
## Job Description
## What you’ll do
- Own the strategy for your surface area and the outcomes that ladders up to it. Know where you're going, not just what you're building next.
- Translate company-level goals into concrete product outcomes and measurable progress tied to adoption, assets on platform, revenue, or retention.
- Partner closely with sales and GTM to ensure what we build reaches users and drives business impact.
- Work alongside design and engineering to shape solutions. You are in the room when decisions get made, not writing specs from the outside.
- Structure work around clear opportunities, hypotheses, and bets. Continuously refine them as you learn.
- Decompose complex, ambiguous problems into clear decisions and forward motion.
- Drive prioritization with rigor. Distinguish patterns from one-offs and articulate why something matters more than the alternative.
- Push for simplicity and coherence. Build end-to-end workflows, not disconnected features.
- Elevate design as a core part of how the product gets made, not a downstream step.
- Drive progress in the face of ambiguity, competing priorities, and imperfect alignment.
- Use qualitative and quantitative insights to inform decisions. Be rigorous about how you gather signal.
- Communicate clearly and consistently with stakeholders, building alignment without losing speed.
- Hold a high bar for what ships: quality, usability, and real impact on users and the business.

## What success looks like
- Identified the highest-leverage problems in your area, and the team is focused on them rather than scattered across low-impact work.
- Users complete key workflows with less friction, fewer workarounds, and more confidence than before.
- Product decisions are driven by evidence and clear reasoning, not opinion or inertia.
- Killed or significantly simplified something that should not exist. The product is lighter, not just bigger.
- Measurable improvements in adoption, engagement, assets on platform, or revenue tied to what you shipped.
- Consistently make good decisions under uncertainty and are trusted to do so by design, engineering, and leadership.

## Required Skills
- A track record of driving measurable outcomes, not just delivering features.
- Structured thinking in ambiguity. Break down ill-defined problems into clear opportunities, decisions, and bets.
- Strong prioritization judgment. Say no with conviction and redirect work toward what matters most.
- Design sensibility. Care deeply about how the product feels and works. Treat design as a partner and raise the bar on what ships.
- Strong discovery instincts. Think carefully about how to gather user insight and avoid biased or low-signal inputs.
- Ability to drive execution through complexity. Move things forward across teams, even when conditions are messy.
- Clear communication. Align a room, articulate decisions, and write with precision.
- High agency. Take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for perfect information or permission.

## AI experience
- Experience building AI-native products where AI is core to the user experience, not bolted on.
- Strong understanding of how to design for trust, transparency, and appropriate user control in AI systems.
- Deep integration of AI into your own workflow across research, synthesis, writing, and prioritization.
- A clear point of view on how AI is changing the role of product management and how you are adapting to it.

## Qualifications
- 10+ Years of Product Management Experience
- Zero to One product experience. Built a product or major product area from scratch. Articulate what you shipped first, what you cut, how you sequenced bets, and how you learned.
- Experience contributing to or reaching product-market fit. Understand how to search for signal, iterate quickly, and avoid overbuilding before the problem is clear.
- Experience owning product strategy and execution for a meaningful surface area. Point to what changed because of your work.
- Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

## Bonus
- Fintech or private markets experience.
- Founder or early-stage experience.
