About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Partner with the CEO on product strategy — bringing your own point of view, challenging assumptions, and translating shared vision into a clear prioritized roadmap with defined success criteria.
Own the portfolio of product initiatives: recommend what gets started, advocate for what gets killed, and manage tradeoffs across product initiatives and future bets.
Lead and develop a team of product managers, designers, and UX researchers — with full accountability for team performance, hiring, and coaching your team to help them grow.
Set the standard of what good looks like for the product team — from how we run meetings and capture decisions, to how we transfer context across functions — and hold the team to that standard.
Drive cross-functional execution alongside Engineering, BD, Design, and Marketing. You’ll define and implement product operating standards, and you're not above getting into the details when it matters.
Define, track, and report on product KPIs that tie directly to business objectives — you believe in and champion a data driven culture where what we ship produces measurable business value.
Act as the voice of the customer and the market, synthesizing qualitative and quantitative signals into clear product decisions.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5–10+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years managing teams across product management, design, and research.
Proven people manager and leader — you know how to build teams that are healthy and high-functioning, and you set the expectations and collaboration norms that make teams operate well.
Track record of outcomes — you have shipped products that drove significant revenue and/or user growth. You have owned outcomes, not just roadmaps.
Deep PM craft — you know how to run structured discovery, validate ideas before building them, write a sharp PRD, and prioritize ruthlessly based on effort versus impact.
Domain background — background in traditional finance or regulated asset markets is required — ideally in private markets, capital markets, or institutional fintech.
Technical depth and AI fluency — you can hold your own in an engineering conversation, understand protocol-level tradeoffs, and earn the respect of a strong engineering team.
