Job description

What You’ll Do

• Shape products from idea to impact: Own initiatives across the full lifecycle, from discovery and requirements gathering through testing, release, and post-launch evaluation.
• Translate needs into clear direction: Turn business needs and client feedback into crisp product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and technical documentation that engineering can build from.
• Help build what’s next in AI: Partner with engineering and data science to identify and prioritize AI use cases and bring them to life through semantic search, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and Model Context Protocol integrations.
• Raise the bar on AI quality: Define what “good” looks like for AI-powered features, evaluating output quality, retrieval relevance, accuracy, hallucination risk, latency, cost, security, and real user feedback.
• Be the connective tissue across teams: Collaborate daily with engineering, data, data science, QA, operations, and client-facing teams to keep initiatives moving and aligned.
• Champion data you can trust: Dig into the details with strong analytical rigor, keeping a close eye on data accuracy, consistency, and completeness across the platform.
• Get hands-on with the data: Work directly with SQL, databases, data pipelines, APIs, and other data-delivery tools to understand and improve how data moves through the platform.
• Juggle priorities like a pro: Manage multiple workstreams at once, spot dependencies and risks early, and drive initiatives to the finish line.
• Make the complex simple: Communicate clearly across audiences, explaining technical and AI-related concepts in ways that resonate with nontechnical stakeholders and clients alike.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience & education: 2–3 years of experience in product management, business analysis, data, financial services, software development, or a related field, plus a bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience. We welcome candidates with more technical backgrounds: Including developers or engineers looking to transition into product — who bring strong analytical instincts and a genuine interest in product work.
• Product fundamentals: Some experience translating business needs and client feedback into clear requirements and documentation, and helping guide a project from idea through launch.
• Curiosity about AI: Familiarity with or interest in AI, machine learning, or generative AI concepts (semantic search, LLMs, RAG, agentic workflows) and enthusiasm for learning how to evaluate and improve AI-powered features.
• Critical thinking & technical comfort: Strong analytical and problem-solving instincts, along with working knowledge of SQL and a willingness to get comfortable with databases, data pipelines, and APIs.
• Cross-team collaboration: A collaborative mindset and interest in working closely with engineering, data, data science, QA, operations, and client-facing teams while juggling multiple priorities.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to explain technical and AI-related concepts to nontechnical stakeholders.
• Nice to have: Experience with commercial real estate, CMBS, or structured finance; cloud and data platforms such as AWS, Snowflake, or vector databases; tools like Jira, Confluence, GitHub, or Postman; or experience evaluating AI/ML models and datasets.
