Assistant Vice President, Product Management

** ABOUT

THE ROLE
** Voya Financial is hiring an Assistant Vice President of Product Management for the Advisor Experience. This role sits in the Digital & Wealth Management Technology organization: you partner with the Wealth Management business and the advisor field to understand and prioritize the business problems worth solving, then own the technology product roadmap and the digital solutions that address them — across the RAD and Investor Channel advisor copilot, meeting preparation, client context, proposal generation (Wealth Path), next-best-action, and book management.

This is a product leadership role one level below VP, and you lead a small team of product managers executing against that roadmap.

You work within the product strategy set by the VP of Digital Product for Wealth Management, but you own the technology roadmap, discovery, specifications, and outcomes for the advisor experience. The operating model is deliberate: the business owns its strategy and results and advisors own the client relationship; you partner with them to frame the problem, and you own the technology solution that solves it.

This is a deeply hands-on role: you write specs engineers actually use, evaluate AI prototype quality directly, make real-time trade-off calls, and partner daily with engineering. You are accountable for whether shipped products change advisor behavior, expand capacity, and improve client outcomes.

This role reports to the VP of Digital Product for Wealth Management. Peer benchmarks:
Senior/Principal Product Manager, Advisor Platform at Fidelity, Schwab, or LPL;
Product Lead, Advisor Tools at a wealth-focused fintech.# #
** WHAT YOU’LL DO
**** Own the Advisor Experience Technology Product Roadmap
*** Define and maintain a 12–18 month technology product roadmap across the advisor copilot, proposal generation, client context, and next-best-action — with clear prioritization rationale and measurable milestones.
* Prioritize using advisor workflow research, adoption and usage data, field feedback, and competitive analysis; build the business cases that support investment decisions.
* Define outcome-oriented success metrics — advisor capacity and time saved, proposal cycle time, active adoption, advisor satisfaction, and downstream client funding and conversion — and own accountability for those numbers post-launch.
** Partner With the Business to Identify Problems & Shape Solutions
*** Partner with Wealth Management leadership, advisors (RAD and Investor Channel), field operations, and distribution to identify, frame, and prioritize the business problems worth solving, bringing engineering and AI feasibility into the conversation so the problem definition and the technology response are shaped together.
* Lead structured discovery with advisors — including direct observation of how they actually work — translating advisor workflow problems into crisp product specs and the technology solutions that address them.
* Write PRDs and technical specifications a small AI engineering team can execute against; define acceptance criteria that account for model quality thresholds, latency targets, and suitability and fiduciary output constraints.
* Maintain working fluency in the advisor workflow: prospecting, meeting preparation, proposal and portfolio construction, ongoing service, and book management — well enough to identify where AI changes outcomes at each stage.
** Drive AI-Native Advisor Tools
*** Own the product direction for the advisor copilot — meeting preparation, cross-channel client context, proposal drafting, and next-best-action — and evaluate RAG pipeline and agent behavior quality directly in staging.
* Drive rapid prototype cycles — a working demo in days, not sprints — and use…
