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.
Requirements
- 10+ years of
experience in product management within B2B enterprise software, with at least
5 years in a customer-facing product role serving large, sophisticated
clients.
- Direct
experience in the private markets, alternative investments, asset management,
or financial data/technology sector.
- Proven track
record of managing products that require significant client-specific
customization, configuration, or implementation, while maintaining a scalable
product architecture.
- Strong B2B
sales environment experience: comfortable participating in RFPs, prospect
demos, solution scoping, and commercial negotiations alongside Sales
teams.
- Deep expertise
in agile methodologies, strategic roadmap development, and cross-functional
team leadership.
- Excellent
communication skills with the ability to engage credibly with C-level
executives, portfolio managers, and operations teams at institutional
investors.
- Experience with
product positioning, GTM strategy development, and driving successful market
launches in enterprise software.
- In-depth
knowledge of portfolio monitoring workflows, including fund accounting,
performance measurement (IRR, TVPI, DPI), cash flow management, and investor
reporting.
- Demonstrated
success in mentoring product teams and driving organizational growth.
- Ability to
document and articulate complex product requirements, user stories, and process
improvements clearly and effectively.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience at a
private market software vendor.
- Exposure to
advanced analytics, AI/machine learning technologies, and quantitative modeling
techniques as applied to private market portfolio data.
- MBA or advanced
degree in finance, economics, or related quantitative discipline.
- Familiarity
with product management tools such as Jira, Confluence, Product board, or
similar platforms.
- Fluency in
English required; German or additional European languages a strong plus.
- A proactive,
entrepreneurial mindset with a strong desire to innovate in a fast-paced,
scaling environment.
