We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, using technology to find a better way of doing things.

• Champion product vision; communicate priorities, strategy, and progress across the organization.
• Define user stories, map user flows, prioritize the backlog, and set clear acceptance criteria.
• Proactively build partnerships with different teams across a number of internal initiatives to surface new ideas and cross-pollinate solutions.
• Implement and communicate metrics, conduct usability testing, and use data to continually improve product fit and impact.
• Stay at the forefront of documentation and best practices, supporting both new and legacy product lines.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

• 2-4+ years of product management experience, preferably in internal, multi-tenant systems
• Direct experience working with agile teams to deliver products from vision through execution.
• Inquisitive and engaged in using and building AI-centric tooling and workflows.
• History of success building and iterating on user-centric, mission-critical applications in time-sensitive domains.
• Demonstrated ability to build deep partnerships with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong communication, documentation, and relationship management skills.
• Analytical mindset—comfortable working with data, defining KPIs, and rapidly assessing success/failure during product lifecycles.
• Adaptability and bias for action—able to navigate ambiguity, work at speed, and drive results in highly dynamic environments.
