We're seeking a Product Manager to join a newly created team and work on an end-to-end digital solution for alternative investments and the wealth channel.

What we do: Growth Ventures is the Bank's division for managing and building data and software-led businesses, including our market-leading data and analytics business with nearly $50 trillion in financial assets under data management. Growth Ventures, building on this foundation and in partnership with other businesses including Investment Management, Asset Servicing, and Pershing, is bringing to market a new software-led, API-first solution for the alternative investment and wealth management ecosystems. The new business will leverage, connect and enhance existing strengths while also developing market-first solutions that provide a one-of-a-kind experience for partners and clients. The market being targeted is measured in trillions of dollars with revenue pools in billions, yet it is generally considered a nascent space on the precipice of growth.

Define and prioritize the backlog, connect it to the roadmap and ensure that the product provides value to users and stakeholders.
Possess a high-level of attention to detail
Ensure end-to-end completion of features, from the backend systems to the user interface, enabling iterative testing and feedback
Identify and document stakeholder expectations across different functions, including Tech orgs, Asset Servicing, Fund Accounting, Custody, Investment Management, Compliance, and end-users
Ensure participation from all impacted teams, fostering a collaborative environment where information and challenges can be shared openly

Managing large-scale integration projects with multiple workstreams and senior stakeholders
Being entrepreneurial and self-directed – operating as an owner
Being ambitious and driven to deliver market-changing innovations in an accelerated timeline
Being growth-oriented yet pragmatic; able to balance a compelling vision with execution
Being a creative problem solver with grit – consistently finding ways to overcome limitations
Being detail oriented – understanding the nuances that can impact overall outcomes
