Senior Product Manager (Remote)

About Allocate:

We founded Allocate with the simple mission of making investing in top-tier private alternatives within the technology sector more accessible for a broader set of investors.

We believe that the mark of healthy and efficient markets requires the financial inclusion of all qualified market participants.

However, despite significant demand, investing in private technology-focused alternatives is more complex than ever as discovery, investment diligence, and selection, access, and deal execution all serve as substantial roadblocks.

With Allocate, investors can find, invest (through Allocate SPV feeders), and track highly vetted opportunities through our turnkey digital platform in a single easy-to-use interface.

Job responsibilities:

We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Product Manager to join our team at Allocate, a fast-growing VC-backed early-stage startup focused on making investments in the innovation economy for private alternatives easier and more transparent. The ideal candidate will have at least 3-5 years of product management experience, with a strong background in SaaS or fintech. This is a unique opportunity to play a significant role in shaping the future of our platform and driving our mission forward.

Join our dynamic and motivated team as a Senior Product Manager and help shape the future of Allocate. If you are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment, we would love to hear from you.

Responsibilities include (but would not be limited to):

Client-Centric Approach: Deeply understand our target audience, their pain points, and their needs. Collaborate with UX/UI designers to create intuitive and user-friendly product experiences. Conduct user research and usability testing to validate product hypotheses and inform iterative improvements for both internal and external clients.

Product Strategy: Collaborate with the executive team to understand and refine the product vision, strategy, and roadmap aligned with Allocate's mission. Conduct market research, competitor analysis, and user feedback analysis to identify product opportunities and prioritize initiatives.

Product Development: Lead the end-to-end product development lifecycle, from conceptualization to launch for small to large-size projects. Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Investments, Sales, Operations, Design, and Engineering, to gather requirements, create detailed product specifications, and drive the execution of product development efforts.

Agile Project Management: Perform product owner responsibilities within the Agile development process, including planning, backlog grooming, and daily stand-ups. Continuously prioritize and reprioritize tasks based on changing business needs, technical complexity, and evolving market dynamics. Keep the team focused and aligned on delivering high-quality products within set timelines.

Communication and Collaboration: Serve as a bridge between business stakeholders, design teams, and engineering teams. Effectively communicate product requirements, features, and updates to all relevant stakeholders. Foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment that encourages open feedback, ideas, and innovation.

Technical Expertise: Leverage your technical background to engage in meaningful discussions with the engineering team, understand implementation challenges, and ensure the successful execution of product features.

Performance Measurement: Define key product metrics and track their performance against established goals. Utilize data analytics and user feedback to drive data-informed decision-making, optimize product features, and continuously improve the product's performance.

Documentation and Reporting: Maintain thorough documentation of product specifications, project plans, and progress updates. Prepare regular reports and presentations to share insights, results, and recommendations with key stakeholders and senior management.

Essential Values & Culture

• Providing our clients with a world-class experience is our number one priority. We obsessively search for ways to improve the experience for our clients and partners. This requires extraordinary response times, proactivity, and ensuring that everything we do, from product strategy to offline communications is a top-tier client experience.
• Challenge convention: Instead of detailing all the reasons why an idea may not work, we constantly question things to determine how a viable idea may be put into motion.
• Commitment to continuous improvement: We find ways to personally scale each day by pushing ourselves up the learning curve.
• Meritocracy, not politics: We place the utmost value on results and rewards through merit, not reward actions driven by political agendas or behavior.
• Civil Discourse is embraced: We believe open, intellectually curious conversations are required to arrive at the best decisions. Respect is paramount in our dealings with one another, but our mission is always to get the right answer collectively, not to be right.
