Job description

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a highly organized, analytically driven Product Operations Analyst to support the day-to-day operational engine of our Private Markets product organization. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of process, data, and collaboration — someone who takes genuine satisfaction in making complex teams run more smoothly, and who brings intellectual curiosity about private markets and a desire to grow into a broader product career. The ideal candidate is equal parts analyst and operator: comfortable pulling and interpreting product usage data one hour, and coordinating a cross-functional release readiness review the next. You will work closely with product managers, engineers, designers, and business stakeholders to ensure our product team operates with clarity, discipline, and pace. You are a clear communicator, a reliable executor, and a proactive problem-solver who treats operational gaps as opportunities rather than obstacles. This role is an outstanding entry point into private markets product management — you will gain broad exposure to the full product lifecycle, our platform architecture, and the investment workflows that underpin one of the fastest-growing segments of the asset management industry.
