Lead Product Manager

We're undertaking a search for a lead product manager who knows asset management inside out. You'll be the type of lead who wants to sit across the table from senior stakeholders, shape flagship initiatives and be the person they turn to for product direction.

As a Lead Product Manager, you’ll do exactly that for our client, a consultancy partnering with an elite asset manager in New York.

Joining a high-caliber consulting team, you’ll lead complex, client-facing product work that genuinely moves the needle, not just incremental BAU. You’ll be on-site in Manhatten embedded with stakeholders, building trust, challenging thinking and turning nuanced investment workflows into products that front-office teams rely on.

What You'll Do

As Lead Product Manager, own the product strategy and roadmap for complex asset management initiatives, aligning features and workflows with your client’s portfolio, distribution and operational goals. Act as the key product partner for senior external stakeholders, running workshops, managing expectations and negotiating priorities in a demanding client environment. Lead cross-functional delivery teams (engineering, UX, data) from discovery through delivery, using agile and hypothesis-led development to ship, learn and iterate at pace. Translate intricate investment and portfolio-management concepts into clear product requirements, user journeys and interfaces in partnership with UX. Use data and client insight to define success metrics, prioritize ruthlessly and demonstrably improve product performance and client satisfaction. Navigate complex client ecosystems to uncover new use cases and influence direction, bringing a commercial, sales-aware mindset to expanding the engagement. Contribute to the broader consulting practice by sharing asset-management expertise and mentoring other product managers where appropriate.

What You'll Bring

Extensive product management experience, including leading complex initiatives end to end in financial services. Direct, hands-on product experience in asset management, with an understanding of institutional investors, investment vehicles, portfolio management processes and related workflows. A track record of working with external clients or in a consulting environment, confidently managing and influencing senior stakeholders rather than operating purely internally. A data-driven, commercial mindset, comfortable spotting upsell or cross-sell opportunities and backing recommendations with evidence.

What's On Offer

Base salary from $200,000 to $220,000 plus discretionary annual bonus, depending on experience. Hybrid working on-site with clients in Manhattan, maximizing face time with key decision-makers. The chance to be the Lead Product Manager at the heart of high-impact, technically sophisticated initiatives for a world-class asset management client. A dynamic consulting environment that values clear communication, strong product craft and staying at the forefront of financial technology.

If you’re a Lead Product Manager who thrives at the intersection of asset management, product craft and client-facing consulting, this role gives you the platform to shape critical initiatives for global investors.
