OVERVIEW:
The D. E. Shaw group seeks a product manager to join its Human Capital Products team. This individual will assist with the development of the firm’s evolving systems infrastructure—a combination of in-house and third-party platforms. The role offers the opportunity to work in an inclusive, collaborative, and engaging working environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
You’ll partner with internal users and our international team of software developers through projects and regular release cycles, implementing feature enhancements, building new modules, and integrating third-party systems that support our multi-year systems roadmap. You’ll be responsible for scoping open-ended projects, partnering with stakeholders on their needs, and establishing structure and processes that drive projects to successful completion. You’ll conduct discovery to understand user needs; conceptualize solutions; specify technical requirements; and oversee development, testing, and rollout. In addition, you’ll manage relationships with internal stakeholders and share responsibility for sprint planning, backlog grooming, and user support/troubleshooting. This dynamic position offers an opportunity to flex your creative skills while driving the development of innovative, data-oriented products.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
• Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree or higher and two to five years of relevant experience.
• Product management experience and an interest in working on internal-facing software are essential; experience with human capital systems or operations is a plus.
• The ability to take initiative, dive into details, and manage projects to completion is critical for this role.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, an aptitude for translating the needs of non-technical systems users into technical requirements, and the judgment to exercise extreme discretion with confidential information are also essential.
• Individuals with a knack for solving open-ended problems and seeing how small details interrelate to impact the bigger picture (i.e., systems thinking) will excel in this role.
• The expected annual base salary for this position is $125,000 to $175,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401k contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
