About the Role

As Sr. Product Manager, Fund Management, you will own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for the Fund Management squad. This cross-functional team is accountable for transforming how Purpose runs its investment fund operations, moving fund accounting, performance, trading operations, and data onto a single governed platform. This role requires building a product roadmap rather than executing a predefined one.

Responsibilities

  • 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 clear, business-language measures of success and report progress to stakeholders on a regular cadence
  • Own the outcome of a daily NAV that is correct, delivered on time, observable, and defensible across more than 100 funds, replacing manual checks with automated assertions
  • Own a single surface for returns, attribution, peer comparisons, and AUM and flow time series, consolidating work spread across parallel analytics tools
  • Own the primary record of fund holdings, positions, NAVs, flows, and activity events that both fund accounting and performance sit on, moving the business to a single governed foundation
  • Define the vision and roadmap for the master-data source and the pipelines – valuation and NAV, activity, investor, and disclosure and tax
  • Establish better ways for external stakeholders to access with our funds when necessary, creating seamless experiences
  • Own the lineage that makes every fund number traceable to its source, providing one auditable path

Requirements

  • Meaningful experience in asset management, fund operations, or fund accounting, or a closely adjacent domain
  • Understanding of NAV, fund flows, performance and attribution, the roles of custodians, transfer agents, and sub-advisors, and the disclosure and regulatory obligations of a Canadian fund manager
  • Ability to identify problems worth solving before defining solutions
  • Clear point of view on prioritization, defensible with data and evidence
  • Comfortable in the detail; able to have an intelligent conversation with an engineer about data models, pipelines, schema design, or system integration
  • Ability to build trust quickly with engineering, operations, compliance, and senior leaders
  • Ability to align diverse groups around a shared direction without formal authority
  • Actively look for opportunities to use AI and automation to replace manual checks, automate validation and reconciliation, and make fund data observable and self-monitoring
  • Write clearly and concisely; user stories are specific; product briefs do not leave room for ambiguity; reasoning is defensible by construction; stakeholder updates are direct and evidence-based
  • Applicants must be legally entitled to work in Canada
  • Immigration sponsorship is not offered for this role
