Product Manager, Specialist
As a Product Manager within the Investment Performance ecosystem, you will lead a cross-functional product team responsible for delivering a core element of the client experience-how clients understand and trust the performance of their portfolios.
The position blends product strategy, sophisticated investment and data platforms, and AI-enabled product practices to drive tangible business outcomes. You will lead outcome-oriented discovery across performance calculation, benchmarking, attribution, data quality, controls, and transparency, using experimentation and iteration to accelerate learning and delivery.
Working in close partnership with engineering, UX, data & analytics, compliance, and business leaders, the role provides broad exposure across the performance ecosystem and the opportunity to influence how modern, AI-driven product management is applied to investment performance at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
Product Leadership & Strategy
- Define and communicate a clear product vision, strategy, and measurable outcomes for Billing & Revenue products and capabilities.
- Lead continuous product discovery to identify high-value client, operational, and business opportunities across fee calculation, invoicing, revenue recognition, and reporting workflows.
- Own backlog prioritization, story refinement, and iterative delivery, balancing speed, experimentation, and enterprise-grade reliability, scalability, and control requirements.
