Product Manager at Preqin

In this role you will:

• Partner closely with the Research ad Data team within the Service Provider domain to understand the opportunities and pain points within the space.

• Define the product strategy and roadmap for your area, working closely with a multi functional squad and other colleagues to deliver results that support company and BU goals.

• Own and drive continuous discovery and delivery of value-adding features and functionality to your assigned product area, balancing the two in parallel in an agile manner that progresses towards a bigger long-term outcome

• Develop a deep understanding of internal and external customers’ needs, motivations, challenges, by deep diving various sources, triangulate root causes and prioritise improvement opportunities

• Identify and track the right metrics for your area and use these metrics (together with qualitative input) to inform product decisions and prioritisation

• Lead and manage a team of engineers and ensure they are productive and effective – you’ll get everyone aligned on priorities, combine their best possible thinking and deliver at pace with good quality consistently

• Define, own and communicate a credible roadmap of your area to key stakeholders, and incorporate their feedback and align plans where necessary

• Help to create an environment where colleagues can openly debate and make good collective decisions on important topics, and collaborate easily between teams

You are a good fit if:

• You care about customers deeply (whether they are internal or external) – you’re obsessed with finding out what their problems are, and how we can solve them

• You come with more than 5 years of experience in end-to-end product management.

• You are passionate about technologies to automate the solutions for the business

• You have a commercial and results-oriented mindset, and can apply an understanding of customers, the environment, and our products to identify where the biggest opportunities are.

• You have built proof-of-concept/ pilot products to get customer feedback and accelerate go-to-market, ideally in a B2E operator/ back office/ data service context

• You have led a full-stack squad focused on measurable customer and financial outcomes, with responsibility of roadmap, service levels, fix/ build/ deprecate decisions and team productivity

• You are a good executor, with a record of accomplishment of getting product to customers quickly and iteratively. You can plan, anticipate issues/ risks, make progress in an ambiguous environment and get hands-on with tasks and detail.

• You are evidence based, using data, customer feedback and operational insight to make good decisions. You are also able to make good judgement calls on risk/ reward when there is insufficient data or time

• You are honest, self-aware and evidence based on how you and your team are doing, and continuously look for ways to improve; able to put aside your ego and learn lessons from all sorts of experiences.

• You are an independent thinker as well as a good team player. You can think independently and argue your point persuasively, while also being open-minded, listen genuinely and earn the trust of your teammates. You resist groupthink but also know when to disagree and commit because team success comes first

• You can empathize, lead, and motivate people, focusing them on the right problems, unblocking their issues, shifting their point of view if needed and getting them to trust each other to have honest debates.

• You take ownership and responsibility for problems, and if you see something wrong, you make it better proactively; you know that with autonomy comes accountability; you do not hide uncomfortable truths about yourself or your team

• Relevant domain experience is important – financial services, data products, B2B SaaS and tools for operational/ research/ finance/ back-office staff
