Job Description

Who you are

The Fund Management squad sits at the foundation of our asset management business. This cross-functional team is accountable, end to end, for transforming how Purpose runs its investment fund operations – moving fund accounting, performance, trading operations, and the data that underpins these all onto a single governed platform. The book of record for our funds, the daily NAVs we strike, and every performance number we quote externally all trace back to the work this squad does.

As Sr. Product Manager, Fund Management, you will own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for this squad. You will collaborate with other teams to decide what gets built and in what order, working directly with operations, engineering, data, and compliance to solve the problems that matter most.



You will lead from the front – not as a project manager tracking tickets, but as the person who understands the problem space deeply enough to make the right calls under pressure.

This is not a role for someone who wants to execute a predefined roadmap. It is a role for someone who wants to build one.

Responsibilities: What you will do

Translate product vision and strategy into an actionable, sequenced roadmap across the master-data spine and the valuation, activity, investor, and disclosure pipelines

Partner with investment operations, fund accounting, data engineering, and compliance to deeply understand workflows, source systems, and regulatory constraints

Decide what gets built and in what order – picking a small number of high-leverage workstreams against a broad operational surface and sequencing them deliberately

Define and prioritize requirements that meet operational, regulatory, and analytical standards

Write clear, detailed user stories and acceptance criteria that engineering can execute on with confidence

Pressure-test major design decisions – naming the alternatives considered, the assumptions made, and what would prove them wrong

Act as a close partner to the engineering and data leads on priorities and trade-offs, leading planning and review sessions as the product authority in the squad





Track delivery against explicit, business-language measures of success and report progress to stakeholders on a regular cadence

What you will own

Fund accounting and NAV

You will own the outcome of a daily NAV that is correct, delivered on time, observable, and defensible across more than 100 funds. You will replace manual, end-of-process checks with automated assertions that catch issues at the source. This is the number regulators, auditors, and clients rely on – when it is wrong, you own the fix.

Fund performance calculations

You will own a single surface for returns, attribution, peer comparisons, and AUM and flow time series – any fund, any series, any period. Today this work is spread across parallel analytics tools that are never reconciled against one another. You will consolidate it so that every externally-quoted performance claim traces back to one auditable source.

The book of record for funds

You will own the primary record of fund holdings, positions, NAVs, flows, and activity events that both fund accounting and performance sit on. You will move the business from a patchwork of partial, segment-by-segment records to a single governed foundation.

The data platform

You will define the vision and roadmap for the master-data source and the pipelines – valuation and NAV, activity, investor, and disclosure and tax – that bring raw feeds from custodians, transfer agents, sub-advisors, and pricing vendors into governed schemas under explicit contracts. This is the surface that operations, dashboards, AI tooling, regulators, advisors, and investors all consume.

The transaction execution
