Our clients use CEPRES to manage, analyze, and benchmark their private market investments, while the platform connects thousands of professionals through one of the world’s largest private investment networks.

CEPRES GmbH / Corp is headquartered in Munich and New York, with additional offices in Denver, Heidelberg, and several locations in the Middle East. Our team is incredibly diverse with over 20 nationalities globally. We value smart and innovative people who also work effectively in a team environment and who are global players.

About the Role: 

We are seeking a “Director of Product Management” to own and drive the Portfolio Monitoring product area. This is a customer-facing leadership role: you will work directly with large, sophisticated institutional clients who have complex customization, configuration, and integration requirements. You will define the product vision and roadmap for portfolio monitoring, translate client needs into scalable product capabilities, and collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering to deliver solutions that win and retain enterprise accounts. 

The ideal candidate comes from a B2B enterprise software background in the private markets, alternative investments, or financial data space, and has direct experience managing products where client-specific configuration and white-glove engagement are central to the value proposition. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Own the product vision, strategy, and 12-month roadmap for the Portfolio Monitoring product area, aligning with CEPRES’ overall business objectives and market opportunities. 
  
• Participate in the annual strategic planning process alongside business unit leadership, bringing market intelligence, competitive analysis, and technology feasibility input so that commercial priorities are defined with full product and market context. 
  
• Own systematic market and competitive intelligence as an ongoing function: maintain a structured view of competitor capabilities, market trends, and client needs rather than relying on anecdotal feedback from individual sales conversations, and use this to inform roadmap prioritization and product strategy. 
  
• Serve as the primary product voice in client-facing engagements: participate in sales cycles, lead product demonstrations, run discovery workshops, and manage solution scoping for enterprise prospects and existing accounts. 
  
• Translate large-scale customization and configuration requests from institutional clients into scalable, repeatable product capabilities that serve the broader market. 
  
• Partner with Sales and Customer Success to develop account-specific solution strategies, ensuring product capabilities align with client requirements and contractual commitments. 
  
• Oversee multiple agile squads delivering portfolio monitoring features, ensuring coordinated execution, effective cross-team collaboration, and continuous improvement in product delivery. 
  
• Champion product positioning and go-to-market strategy by collaborating with Marketing to develop pricing, positioning, and messaging that differentiates CEPRES in the private market’s software space. 
  
• Build and manage relationships with strategic partners, data providers, and technology vendors to enhance the product ecosystem. 
  
• Mentor and develop the product management team, fostering a culture of client empathy, analytical rigor, and continuous learning. 
  
• Monitor product performance, adoption metrics, and client satisfaction to inform strategic decision-making and prioritization.
