        Technical Product Manager – Compliance Technology (Vendor Relationship Management)

        Technology
        New York

        The D. E. Shaw group seeks a technical product manager to join its Middle and Back Office Technology (MBOT) team to manage the technical relationship between the firm's Compliance function and a key technology vendor supporting several compliance applications. This role blends vendor relationship management with technical product oversight, involving collaboration with the vendor, internal product and development teams, and Compliance stakeholders. Over time, the position offers the chance to expand into broader product management across the firm’s compliance technology landscape, with exposure to trading, operations, compliance, and software development groups in a collegial environment.

        What you’ll do day-to-day

        • Act as the main technical liaison with the vendor for the firm's compliance technology, ensuring clear communication and alignment on priorities.
        • Partner with Compliance stakeholders to gather requirements, recommend work sequencing for the vendor, and represent the firm's interests in product roadmaps and release assessments.
        • Evaluate new vendor product offerings for fit with the firm’s needs and coordinate user acceptance testing, securing business-owner sign-off before production releases.
        • Plan and oversee the multi-year transition of selected compliance applications from the vendor to internal teams, collaborating on knowledge transfer, handover, and cutover while maintaining continuity of legacy systems.
        • Maintain an inventory of technical dependencies on vendor systems, participate in design and architecture reviews, monitor for new dependencies, and manage day-to-day vendor interactions, including tracking delivery, reviewing proposals, and raising risks or issues.

        What we’re looking for

        • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field; a master’s degree is a plus.
        • Five to ten years of experience in technical product management, product development, or technology vendor management, ideally within a financial technology firm, asset manager, or hedge fund.
        • Experience insourcing applications or transitioning them from external vendors to internal teams is highly preferred, as is direct experience managing external technology vendor relationships, including scope, timeline, and delivery quality.
        • Technical background sufficient to engage with engineering teams and vendors on system architecture, integrations, and data flows, with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to varied audiences.
        • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, organizational, and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to influence technical decisions and balance competing priorities.
        • Knowledge of financial markets, trading, and relevant regulations; experience with trading platforms or compliance-related software is a plus.
        • Prototyping experience and familiarity with Python, Java, and/or SQL is preferred, as is exposure to Agile/Scrum methodologies.
        • The expected annual base salary for this position is $200,000 to $275,000. 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.
