Description

As a Product Manager leading Pave’s Experience Team, you’ll own the advisor-facing parts of the product that shape how advisors use Pave day to day, including portfolio management workflows, trade construction and execution, and the broader in-product experience.

You’ll work closely with design, engineering, compliance, and go-to-market teams to understand advisor needs, decide what to build, and get features shipped. You’ll also work closely with the Senior Product Manager to develop product strategy, pressure test priorities, and ensure day-to-day execution stays aligned with the broader product roadmap.

This role is a good fit for someone who is comfortable working through ambiguity, cares about the details of a good user experience, and can work across a lot of different stakeholders. If you’re passionate about finance and excited by the pace and ownership that comes with an early stage company, this is the position for you.

• Write clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for engineers across workflows ranging from portfolio management to trade execution.
• Work closely with design and engineering to make tradeoffs across user experience, compliance, and technical constraints.
• Partner with the Senior Product Manager to make sure Experience Team priorities align with the broader product roadmap.
• Build and apply knowledge of investing and wealth management to make better product decisions.

Required Qualifications
