        Senior Product Manager – Financial Operations Technology

        Technology
        New York

        The D. E. Shaw group seeks two senior product managers to drive next-generation technology solutions for its Middle and Back Office Technology team. These roles will support mission critical platforms underpinning the firm’s tax, accounting, and financial operations teams. Depending on business needs and candidate background, the roles will partner primarily with Tax or Management Company Accounting (MCA) teams. Each position offers a unique opportunity to join a collaborative, innovative, and results-driven environment with meaningful ownership and firmwide impact.

        What you’ll do day-to-day

        • Act as a senior product manager and strategic partner to business stakeholders, owning product direction, prioritization, and delivery of high‑impact technology solutions across financial operations teams. 
        • Balance near‑term operational needs with longer‑term platform strategy, proactively identify opportunities for automation and risk reduction, and drive alignment on product vision and roadmap across technology and non‑technology teams. 

        Depending on your background and interests, you’ll align primarily with one of the following focus areas:

         

        Tax-Focused Role:

        • Partner with Tax, Payroll, MCA, and financial operations teams to understand end-to-end tax processes, data flows, and compliance requirements, evaluating the current technology landscape to identify opportunities for consolidation, integration, and scalable solutions.
        • Conduct deep discovery and process mapping across tax compliance to surface pain points, manual workarounds, control gaps, and opportunities for automation and modernization of tax technology into a scalable, integrated ecosystem.
        • Serve as a strategic partner to Tax leadership, helping assess where technology investment is most impactful (e.g., analytics, reporting, workflow tooling, or KTLO stabilization).
        • Translate complex business and operational requirements into clear product definitions, priorities, and technical deliverables, conduct build-vs-buy analyses, and partner with engineering and QA teams through design, build, and deployment.
        • Own and evolve the product roadmap for Tax technology solutions, focusing on operational needs and longer-term platform strategy.

         

        MCA-Focused Role:

        • Collaborate with the MCA team to assess, design, and deliver technology solutions that modernize MCA operations across functional areas (e.g., Accounts Payable, Expense Reporting and other areas). 
        • Conduct build-vs-buy analyses, implement document and knowledge management systems, develop AI- and metadata-enabled tools for drafting and research, and create scalable infrastructure.
        • Identify, prioritize, and implement technology solutions that support invoice processing, expense allocation and reporting, accounting ledger management, and financial reporting, which may include implementing ERP systems, enhancing existing systems, and developing AI-enabled tools.
        • Lead requirements gathering and prioritization across stakeholder groups, develop and maintain product roadmaps, and proactively identify opportunities for workflow automation, data integrity improvements, and operational resilience.

        Who we’re looking for

        • A bachelor’s degree or higher, with at least seven years of relevant product or technology management experience in investment management, trading operations, accounting, or financial technology.
        • Deep understanding of securities lifecycle management, front and middle office workflows, trade in processing, and reference data systems; experience with accounting, expense allocation, accounts payable systems is a plus.
        • Experience working with software development teams to design and deliver complex technical solutions in a fast-paced financial environment.
        • Keen analytical, organization, and prioritization skills; demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional initiatives from inception to completion.
        • Impressive verbal and written communication skills; proven ability to collaborate with and influence partners across investment, legal, and technology domains.
        • High degree of professional integrity and discretion when handling sensitive business and client information.
        • Demonstrated ability to proactively identify and address complex, ambiguous problems with attention to detail and a service mindset. Familiarity with investment management systems, regulatory workflows, databases, and relevant programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, C#) is a plus.
        • The expected annual base salary for this position is $175,000 to $250,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
