Jobbeschreibung

Referment is working with a global investment firm to find a Senior Product Manager for Finance Technology Platforms.

Joining our client's middle and back office technology team, you will own the product portfolio supporting the firm's Management Reporting function and act as its representative in a cross‑functional initiative to modernize the firm's broader finance platforms. You will join a collaborative, results‑driven environment with meaningful ownership and firmwide impact, acting as a strategic partner to business stakeholders and owning product direction, prioritization, and delivery of high‑impact technology solutions.

The Role

• Own product direction, prioritization, and delivery of high‑impact technology solutions across these platforms, with an initial focus on compensation‑related strategy and roadmap.
• Balance near‑term operational needs with longer‑term platform strategy, proactively identifying opportunities for automation, AI‑enabled efficiency, and risk reduction.
• Drive alignment on the product vision and roadmap across technology and non‑technology teams.
• Collaborate with Management Reporting stakeholders to assess, design, and deliver technology solutions that modernize operations across compensation portal systems, compensation planning and modeling, payroll, budgeting, reporting and analytics, and P&L reporting.
• Define and drive the strategy and roadmap for compensation‑related products, modernizing legacy reporting and systems and shaping solutions in areas that are still taking form.
• Lead requirements gathering and prioritization across stakeholder groups, develop and maintain product roadmaps, and proactively identify opportunities for workflow automation, data‑integrity improvements, and operational resilience.
• Apply systems thinking and creativity to process design, using AI tools to identify and deliver workflow efficiencies.
• Translate complex business needs into clear technical deliverables for in‑house software developers and QA engineers.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor's degree or higher, with at least seven years of relevant product or technology management experience, ideally in compensation, payroll, financial reporting, or related financial technology.
• Experience working with software development teams to design and deliver complex technical solutions in a fast‑paced financial environment.
• An AI‑forward mindset, with relevant hands‑on experience applying AI tools to products or workflows, and a willingness to try new approaches.
• Keen analytical, organization, and prioritization skills; demonstrated ability to drive cross‑functional initiatives from inception to completion.
• Clear, direct, and proactive verbal and written communication skills; proven ability to collaborate with and influence partners across business and technology domains.
• An empathetic approach to product management, with the ability to understand stakeholder concerns at both the implementation and process levels.
• A high degree of professional integrity and discretion when handling sensitive business, compensation, and client information.
• Skill in proactively identifying and addressing complex, ambiguous problems with attention to detail and a service mindset.

Desirable Experience

• Understanding of compensation, payroll, and management/P&L reporting workflows and the systems that support them.
• Familiarity with financial and reporting systems, databases, and relevant programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, C#).

This could suit a senior product manager from a financial services or financial technology background who has owned compensation, payroll, or financial reporting products and enjoys working closely with engineering teams and business stakeholders to modernize complex legacy platforms.
