Product Manager

Role Overview:

We are looking for a data-driven and domain-expert Product Manager (5-6 Years Experience) to own and scale our core Financial Technology platform. In this role, you will lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution for our Investor Allocation and Fund Accounting modules. You will bridge the gap between complex financial operations (private equity/hedge funds/mutual funds) and cutting-edge software, ensuring accurate capital accounting, automated fee calculations, and seamless investor reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for the Fund Accounting and Investor Allocation engines. Define the vision, strategy, and quarterly roadmaps to automate complex financial workflows.
• Feature Conception & Spec Writing: Translate intricate financial concepts (e.g., waterfall models, side-letters, hurdle rates) into clear, actionable Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and user stories.
• Investor Allocation Engine: Design and optimize scalable logic for capital calls, distributions, profit/loss allocations, and automated calculations of Management Fees, Performance Fees (Carry), and High-Water Marks.
• Fund Accounting Systems: Enhance core accounting functionalities, including General Ledger (GL) integrations, Net Asset Value (NAV) calculations, trial balances, and automated reconciliation workflows.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Engineering, QA, Fund Operations, and Customer Success teams to ensure timely, high-quality feature delivery.
• Compliance & Security: Ensure all financial reporting, tax allocation features, and data handling meet strict institutional compliance and regulatory standards (e.g., GAAP, IFRS).

Required Experience & Skills:

Domain Expertise (Non-Negotiable):

• Deep Financial Tech Literacy: Robust understanding of Fund Accounting mechanics (NAV calculation, general ledger, trial balance, journal entries) and Investor Operations (capital calls, distributions, capital account statements).
• Advanced Allocation Logic: Proven experience building or scaling software that handles complex multi-tier allocation structures, master-feeder funds, side-pockets, and bespoke fee arrangements.

Product Management Skills:

• 5-6 years of experience as a Product Manager, ideally within FinTech, WealthTech, Investment Banking tech, or a B2B SaaS platform focused on alternative investments.
• Strong technical acumen; comfortable collaborating with engineers on data architecture, database schemas, and API integrations.
• Excellent data analysis skills (proficiency in SQL for data querying and validation is a strong plus).

Soft Skills & Execution:

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to explain highly complex accounting logic to software engineers, and technical constraints to financial operations teams.
• Thrives in an agile environment; experienced in managing backlogs, prioritizing sprints, and balancing tech debt with feature velocity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Educational background in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, or a related field (MBA, CFA, or CA/CPA progression is a massive advantage).
• Prior experience working with or building systems like Investran, eFront, Allvue, or similar tier-1 fund administration platforms.
