About this role

Aladdin Wealth Enterprise is a global product offering which spans a variety of regulatory environments, asset management styles, and user sophistication. As a Product Manager on our Advisor Experience Team, you'll be responsible for the strategic direction and execution of Aladdin Wealth Enterprise's practice management roadmap - specifically focusing on tools and workflows that enable financial advisors and private bankers to better address the needs of their client base.

Your Responsibilities
  • Product Strategy: Translate the goals of our business and the needs of our users across multiple regions into product strategy for your area of focus.
  • Roadmap Planning: Continually define a forward-looking roadmap which brings your product strategy to life. Define MVPs, iterations, and beyond. Work with other product teams to define constraints, effort, delivery schedules, and product goals.
  • Driving Alignment: Drive visibility and alignment of that product strategy with client teams, as well as design and engineering, through well-written product specs, internal wikis, and thoughtfully led presentations and discussions.
  • Execution: Execute your plan, serving as "product owner" within our scrum development process, prioritizing the efforts of the engineering team you work with, and driving and pace of decision-making on the projects you lead.
  • Prioritization: Own and prioritize iterative improvements to products and features released by your engineering team, addressing defects, bugs, and workflow improvements, while balancing against client needs and overall product strategy.
  • Refinement: Continually cultivate and refine your backlog and roadmap, synthesizing insights from product and engineering leadership, client team stakeholders, and users, along with usage patterns and industry trends.
  • Marketplace Expertise: Be the voice of your users, with a particular emphasis on needs, opportunities, and competitors within the wealth management landscape.

Desired Qualifications
  • Strong grasp of wealth management industry - from RIAs to IRAs, you can speak the language. Even better: you understand the workflows and needs of financial advisors and private bankers.
  • An ability to understand and continually synthesize the needs of our users and their staff and translate those needs into a strategic product direction.
  • The skill to organize the efforts of multiple teams, including once you don't directly lead, towards a common product goal and deliver within a time constraint.
  • You're a product evangelist, capable of communicating business opportunities at all levels of our organization through written presentation and compelling storytelling.
  • Excellent communication skills - you can communicate complex and detailed information in an organized and consumable format.
  • You're a keen reader of people and culture, capable of building the relationships necessary to make things happen - across a table or across the country on a Webex call.
  • You're able to balance data-driven decision making with intuitive interpretation of customer insights and feedback.
  • You don't need a precise definition of a task to take ownership of it and make sure it gets completed with excellence.
  • A strong familiarity with Enterprise SaaS solutions, web technologies, and APIs.
  • You're curious, strategic, independent, and have a track record of holding yourself and those around you to high standards.
  • You have at least 5 years of experience working with or adjacent to Product and/or Technology teams.

Our benefits

To help you stay energized, engaged and inspired, we offer a wide range of benefits including a strong retirement plan, tuition reimbursement, comprehensive healthcare, support for working parents and Flexible Time Off (FTO) so you can relax, recharge and be there for the people you care about.
