Product Manager

Overview

Invest Cloud is a private-equity backed platform business supporting over $6 trillion of assets globally, with deep, long-standing relationships across the asset and wealth management ecosystem. Private markets are rapidly becoming a core part of wealth portfolios – but the industry infrastructure has not kept pace. Most wealth managers still rely on manual processes, fragmented data, and operational workarounds to deliver private market exposure.

Invest Cloud’s Private Markets Network (PMN) is designed to change that. PMN is a network-level execution and processing platform that enables private market investments to be delivered at managed-account scale, with the same operational discipline and integration model that wealth managers expect in public markets.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, product, and technology – bridging the gap between where PMN is going and what the team can actually build. Its core currency is turning ambiguous problems into something concrete that others can react to, fast.

PMN moves fast and operates across complex, interconnected domains. Strategy, product, and technology each have their own language – and too often, things get lost in translation between them. This role exists to close that gap. The Product Manager takes fuzzy strategic questions and operational pain points and turns them into working prototypes that teams can learn from, react to, and build on.

They are equally comfortable in a whiteboard session with leadership and a hands-on build session with engineers – and they know how to move quickly between the two.

This is not a role for someone who prefers lengthy specs and staged delivery. It’s for someone who defaults to showing over telling, and who brings others along by putting something real in front of them.

This role offers:

• A genuine mandate to bridge strategy, product, and technology – not sit in one of them.
• The autonomy to prototype and test ideas quickly, without layers of sign-off.
• Senior stakeholder visibility from day one – your work will be in front of people who make decisions.
• The opportunity to shape how PMN builds and validates its product thinking for the long term.
• You won’t be handed a backlog. You’ll help figure out what should be on it.

This role cuts across boundaries and moves fast. On any given week, you might be:

• Sitting with PMN Ops or Product to get to the bottom of a real problem – and leaving with a clear plan for what to build next.
• Building a working prototype to test an idea before anyone has written a spec.
• Mapping an operational workflow end-to-end and finding the right places to compress, simplify, or automate.
• Running a demo with senior stakeholders and extracting the signal from their reaction.
• Turning a messy strategic question into a concrete experiment with a clear pass/fail.
• Helping engineering understand not just what to build, but why – and what success looks like.
• Telling the team clearly and early when something isn’t working – and redirecting to what will.
• Keeping strategy, product, and engineering aligned without creating process overhead.

Discovery & Problem Definition

• Run structured discovery with PMN Ops, Product, and Engineering; turn vague pain points and strategic ambitions into well-defined problem statements with clear success criteria.
• Build and use personas to keep work focused on who we’re solving for and why.
• Map operational workflows end-to-end and identify where to compress, simplify, or automate.
• Make confident calls on what not to pursue – and articulate why.

Prototyping & Experimentation

• Build functional prototypes quickly – good enough to learn from, not necessarily to ship.
• Lean heavily on AI, no-code, and low-code tooling to compress idea-to-test time.
• Design each prototype around a specific learning question, and know when it has done its job.

Alignment, Demos & Handoff

• Run compelling demos as an alignment tool – to surface disagreement, sharpen requirements, and build conviction.
• Act as connective tissue between PMN’s strategy, product, and engineering, pushing back constructively when…
