About the opportunity

Sydecar is currently looking for a Senior Product Manager who is passionate about creating improved standards for how we interact with private markets. You will lead our mission of enabling thousands of new investors to do what they do best — identify and back entrepreneurs who are changing the world.

What you'll be doing

• Lead the end-to-end product development process, from ideation and concept development to launch and post-launch analysis.

• Manage the entire product portfolio. This involves balancing resources, setting priorities, and ensuring each product aligns with the company’s goals.

• Conduct market research and gather customer feedback to identify pain points and opportunities for product enhancements.

• Develop a deep understanding of the fintech industry, private market landscape, and competitive trends to ensure our product remains competitive.

• Act as a key point of contact for high-profile clients and stakeholders, effectively communicating and aligning product strategies.

• Act as the chief advocate for the product line.

What we're looking for

• You are curious and a relentless problem solver. You are excited to learn about the rapidly changing alternative investment space. You strive to deeply understand customer pain points and are excited to address them with innovative product features. You will question and ideate until you identify the root of a problem and develop and act upon a clear and achievable path to success.

• You love working across teams as you guide products to launch. You're an adaptable jack-of-all-trades who enjoys working across all aspects of product development, from brainstorming ideas with design to gathering statistics on product performance, to getting in the weeds with engineering. You might be stronger in some areas than others, but you're happy to dive in anywhere help is needed to move the product forward to success.

• You know how to ruthlessly prioritize. You are comfortable working with limited information to set objectives, make decisions and own the results. Out of a thousand things we could be working on, you are comfortable planning sprints and product roadmaps by making the hard choices to choose the few swings that have the highest impact, and especially, helping the team understand the tradeoffs and opportunity costs of sequencing choices.

• You constantly seek data and user feedback. You define and analyze metrics to validate your hypotheses and measure impact, but you jump on zoom to talk to real users. You constantly seek to validate your ideas and better understand the real humans using a product.

• You are customer obsessed. You start from the user’s perspective and can’t ship a product with a terrible user experience. Still, you know that the first version of everything is rarely perfect and users will constantly surprise you, so iteration is part of your regular process.

• You know the value of crisp, detailed communication and organization. Your job is to articulate the why as much as the what, and you don’t mind writing well-cataloged documentation and presenting wherever needed. **
