About the Client Our client is a rapidly expanding, technology‑driven asset management firm with over $3 billion in assets under management. Renowned for its innovative approach to active risk‑managed investing, the firm partners with financial advisors to deliver tactical strategies tailored to diverse market conditions.

Translate strategic business goals and advisor feedback into detailed product requirements, wireframes, and user stories.
Act as the central liaison between internal stakeholders and external development teams.
Manage project timelines, scope, and deliverables across multiple concurrent initiatives.
Lead quality assurance efforts, identify and resolve bugs, and continuously refine UX/UI in collaboration with engineering.
Facilitate agile development processes, including sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives.
Leverage data and user insights to inform product iterations and enhancements.
Explore opportunities for platform licensing, white‑labeling, and broader market adoption.
Qualifications
5‑10 years of product management experience, ideally within FinTech or financial services.
Demonstrated success in leading custom application development from concept to launch.

Exceptional communication skills, including technical documentation and stakeholder engagement.
Financial acumen and familiarity with advisor workflows and portfolio construction.

Background in RIA, asset management, or compliance‑driven environments.
Experience with risk analysis, financial modeling, or proposal generation tools.
Familiarity with platforms such as Teamwork.com and HubSpot.
