Product Manager

• Embed with investment and operations teams to understand workflows firsthand - requirements come from direct observation, not stakeholder translation.
• Champion the user in every product decision - understand how teams actually work, what slows them down, and what they need Onyx to do differently.
• Own product requirements end-to-end: discovery, scoping, engineering handoff, UAT, and go-live.
• Define platform capabilities, data standards, and integration points that allow new asset types, product structures, and markets to onboard without custom builds.
• Partner with engineering to evaluate system constraints, surface dependencies, and shape solutions that reduce operational risk.
• Identify when a market-specific requirement is actually a platform capability - flag it, escalate it, and ensure it gets built once rather than rebuilt for each market.
• Use AI natively across the product development workflow - from discovery and requirements synthesis to spec generation, workflow mapping, and prototype iteration - without outsourcing judgment.

• 3+ years in fund platform implementation, investment operations technology, or a product-adjacent role with direct exposure to pre-trade or post-trade financial product workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to structure requirements: you have written user stories, process flows, or functional specs that engineering teams have built from - not just participated in requirements conversations.
• Experience with enterprise platforms where data accuracy, auditability, and reliability are baseline expectations.
• Strong domain foundation. Relevant backgrounds include:
  • Operations or product roles at an asset manager, fund servicer, custodian, or digital asset custody platform handling NAV, order management, AP workflows, or settlement.
  • Implementing or supporting multi-client fund platforms across multiple clients or markets - onboarding, configuration, and translating client workflows into platform requirements.
  • Technology, product, or operations roles inside a hedge fund, asset manager, or proprietary trading firm - owning or improving the systems and workflows that run the investment business.
• Ability to translate what you observe in operations into system requirements - and engage in technical discussion about data models, integrations, and platform dependencies.
• Comfort working across timezones with globally distributed business and engineering teams.
• Comfort making decisions with incomplete information in a fast-moving environment.

• You communicate with precision: written requirements, verbal tradeoffs, stakeholder updates - clear, direct, and structured.
• You bring engineers into the problem early, not after you have decided the solution.
• You challenge assumptions, accept being challenged, and prioritize the right outcome over being right.

• You have worked on systems such as multi-tenant order management, portfolio administration, post-trade processing, NAV calculation, reconciliation, or digital asset custody platforms - and moved from configuring them to understanding why they were designed that way and what should change.
• Background in crypto, digital assets, or exchange-traded financial products.
• Demonstrated AI fluency: you have changed how you work because of AI tools, not just used them occasionally.
• Technical depth sufficient to read an API spec, challenge an engineering estimate, and hold your own in an architecture discussion.
