As a Product Manager you will be responsible for the product vision and strategies to develop effective solutions that are valuable (our users choose to use them), viable (the solution works for the business), usable (the users can figure out how to use them), and feasible (our engineers have the skills and technology to implement them).
You will quickly learn the constraints of our business from Servicing, Trading, Finance, Operations, Legal, Risk and Compliance, among others. You must also bring deep knowledge of our users, data on how they engage with our products, and an understanding of industry trends and the competitive landscape.
You will partner mainly with Technology and Design, but also maintain consistent engagement with Regional Business Leadership, Client Advisors, Client Service teams, Operations, Marketing and Legal/Risk/Compliance stakeholders throughout the product management lifecycle.
Candidates should demonstrate extensive product‑management knowledge and strong communication skills. They should be able to influence and negotiate, work as an individual contributor and team member, and apply Agile methodology with a balanced approach to discovery and execution. They should also be able to quantify delivery into success measures.
