Product Manager II

Kroll is a global leader in risk and financial advisory solutions, and they are seeking a Product Manager II to lead the development of a benchmarking capability within their Real Estate Advisory Group. This role involves overseeing the product roadmap, coordinating with various teams, and ensuring the delivery of a reliable benchmarking tool for clients.

Responsibilities:

• Own the product roadmap for the REAG Benchmarking Platform across the three-phase delivery plan (Foundation → KREV Integration & Internal Launch → GA & Expansion), spanning roughly 10 months from kickoff
• Translate benchmarking methodology into product requirements — metric definitions, segmentation logic, anonymization rules, and publication cadence — working with REAG subject-matter experts on validation
• Coordinate across functions: REAG practitioners, the India-based engineering team (backend, UI, data), Legal, and Business Development
• Manage data source integration across REAG's proprietary valuation systems and third-party index data, including normalization, deduplication, and historical coverage
• Define the KREV integration experience — both the dedicated Benchmarking module and the inline portfolio overlay on existing views
• Run the quarterly production cycle — data freeze dates, QA gates, publication calendar, and on-time delivery commitments to clients
• Drive pilot and GA launch with selected GP clients, incorporate feedback, and expand to the full KREV client base
• Track and report progress against coverage, adoption, and reliability targets
• Manage risk across data quality, licensing, segment depth, and SME availability, with documented mitigations

Requirements:

• 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years on data products, analytics platforms, or benchmarking tools
• Working knowledge of commercial real estate valuation — cap rates, discount rates, NOI, DCF methodology, and how appraisers use comparable data
• Familiarity with the institutional real estate fund manager (GP/LP) ecosystem
• Experience shipping products that depend on structured data ingestion, normalization, and deduplication across multiple source systems
• Demonstrated ability to manage distributed engineering teams (this role coordinates a four-person India-based team) and to operate across time zones
• Strong written communication — you can produce PRDs, methodology documentation, and client-facing materials that hold up under scrutiny from legal, compliance, and sophisticated GP clients
• Comfort operating in regulated and confidential data environments, including engagement-letter data use restrictions and anonymization requirements
• Prior work on a benchmarking, index, or peer-comparison product
• Experience integrating third-party data subscriptions with attention to licensing and redistribution terms
• Background in financial services, asset management, or a Big Four / valuation advisory firm
• Familiarity with quarterly production cycles and the operational discipline they require
• Knowledge of commercial real estate markets, asset classes, and industry dynamics is a plus
