- Work with stakeholders to identify opportunities for automation, improve advisor targeting, and improve business metrics
- Own performance metrics for adoption, workflow efficiency, and output quality
- Own product rollout planning and execution, including training, documentation, virtual demos, and in-person presentations
What You Have
- 4–7 years of product management experience in an agile environment, ideally building matching platforms, internal tools or AI-powered features
- Extremely high empathy towards user problems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively influence and collaborate with diverse stakeholders across all levels of the organization.
- Strong system thinking with a track record of improving complex workflows or high-data environments
- Experience working with (or adjacent to) AI/ML teams is a plus
- Proven experience working in a technical environment with cross-functional teams especially to drive product vision, define requirements, and guide the team through key milestones.
