Job Description

We’re looking for a driven and curious Senior Product Manager to help build a new generation of AI-
powered equity research products for individual investors.

This role sits at the intersection of consumer SaaS, equity research, and AI. You will work with a high-
caliber team that brings together top-tier engineering and buy-side talent, including analysts with prior
experience at firms such as Millennium, Point72, and KKR.

We believe that everybody should be an investor and our mission is to help everyday people succeed in
the stock market. The legacy stock-picking and financial research services are a multibillion-dollar
business but are not living up to expectations anymore. We are building a market-leading product for the
next generation of investors.

In this role you will help shape core product experiences for our AI equity research platform, with a focus
on features that help retail investors find, understand, and evaluate investment opportunities such as
research reports, stock picks and discover screens.

It is a great fit for someone who wants to stay close to users, product details, and execution. You do not
need to be an equity analyst, but you should be an individual investor and understand how retail
investors think and how public equities are researched.

You will help identify the highest-value customer problems, define clear product requirements, validate
product assumptions, and partner with engineers and analysts to ship experiences that make
institutional-quality research accessible and actionable for a large retail investor audience.
The team is part of a new organization, which means you will have meaningful influence over how
products are shaped and how our product culture develops.

We believe in strong customer discovery (JTBD), empowered product teams, shipping useful products
quickly, and iterating based on real behavior. For the right person, this is an opportunity to take on
significant ownership early and grow quickly as the platform and team scale.

What You’ll Do:
 Own and evolve core product experiences for stock research and discovery
features
 Conduct product discovery (interviews) with retail investors to understand how
they identify ideas, evaluate stocks, build conviction, and make investment
decisions
 Translate customer needs and market insights into clear product opportunities,
requirements, and execution plans
 Play an integral role in defining how AI-generated insights are presented so that
users can understand the reasoning, evidence and assumptions behind
recommendations
 Define success metrics, analyze user behavior, run experiments, synthesize
feedback, and iterate quickly based on what users actually do
 Communicate product strategy, tradeoffs, decisions, and progress clearly across
Product, Design, Engineering, Equity Research and senior leadership

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For:
 Minimum of 5 years of product management experience in B2C subscription in fintech, retail
investing or related
 Proven ability to take features and products from discovery through launch,
including customer interviews, product requirements, execution, and post-launch
measurement
 Working knowledge of public equities, strong understanding of retail investors,
including how they discover stocks, evaluate opportunities and make investment
decisions
 Ability to combine customer insights and your own product judgment to deliver
delightful products
 Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly
articulate user problems, product rationale, requirements, tradeoffs, and launch
plans
 High agency, intellectual curiosity, and comfort operating in an ambiguous
