Westport CT/Hybrid

Our Investment Technology Product team is responsible for the tools and platforms that underpin our entire investment lifecycle – from enabling a systematic approach to our fundamental research, through how we manifest that understanding in the portfolios we construct, up to the way we express our views in global trading markets. 

Position Summary

Product Managers partner with our business users, identify key opportunities and real business needs, lay out the technology roadmap and drive the design and execution of complex technological solutions that enable our firm. In this role you will own products and services which are part of the core research platform that drives the investment engine of the largest hedge fund in the world, through which you will have deep and broad impact.

  • Partnering with our investment professionals to understand their goals, needs, challenges and working habits
  • Rigorously building and documenting an understanding of business problems and processes – using hard data and specific facts to drive decision making
  • Partnering with our investment engine technologists to solve complex business problems
  • Building product roadmaps and execution strategies for your areas of ownership in the investment ecosystem
