EquityZen is an early-mid stage financial technology company, backed by leading venture and private equity investors. We’re looking for a Product Manager to join EquityZen’s growing team as we redefine private markets. If the ability to drive real, tangible change across the organization by working with both internal and external stakeholders excites you, let’s chat!

Our platform enables large, private companies to deliver liquidity to their shareholders while providing investors access to invest in these proven, pre-IPO companies. EquityZen has served over 200 pre-IPO technology companies and is proud to be considered a liquidity provider for 1 out of 2 of the largest unicorns. A testament to EquityZen's secure, paperless, and industry-defining online investment platform, we have successfully completed 14,000+ private placement transactions. Focusing on automating an antiquated offline process has allowed us to lead the charge in building more efficient, cost-effective, and transparent private markets.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

  • Ability to write business-facing documentation and to conduct User Acceptance Testing. 
  • A creative problem solver, who is able to incorporate quantitative data, qualitative insights, and macros business trends to pivot and iterate on original ideas.
  • Professional experience working directly with engineering and design teams.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills in order to effectively communicate across the organization.
  • Entrepreneurial drive, a champion that helps push past the early uncertainty of a new product experience. 
  • Passion to learn and to teach others. 
  • Proven analytical and problem solving skills. 
  • Undergraduate degree, preferably with a concentration in Technology, Finance, or Economics.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE:
