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.

- Own backlog prioritization, story refinement, and iterative delivery, balancing speed, experimentation, and enterprise-grade reliability, scalability, and control requirements.
AI-Integrated Product Development - Leverage AI tools across the product lifecycle-from research and synthesis to automation, quality improvement, and delivery acceleration.
- Partner with engineering, UX, data, and audit teams to embed AI into workflows, improving development efficiency, testing, data access, and audit support.
- Share AI best practices, prompting patterns, and tool guidance to upskill product teams and cross-functional partners.
Cross-Functional & Stakeholder Leadership - Serve as the primary product point of accountability for direction, prioritization, and trade-offs across Billing & Revenue initiatives, including platform modernization and capability alignment.
- Drive alignment across product, finance, accounting, engineering, and data stakeholders, navigating dependencies and resolving ambiguity.
- Foster transparent communication and trust, enabling fast decision-making and effective collaboration across teams and domains.
Skills for Success: Core Product Management - Strong ability to define strategy, assess opportunities, and guide teams through discovery, delivery, and iteration in complex enterprise environments.
- Demonstrated experience balancing user desirability, technical feasibility, and business viability, particularly in regulated or financially sensitive domains.

- Proven ability to influence without authority and align diverse partners across complex organizational structures.
Technical & AI Fluency - Comfort working with AI-enabled tools, data-driven insights, and modern product and engineering practices.
