Product Manager (API)

PactFi•New York, NY

About The Position

Private asset markets (PE, Private Credit, VC, Real Estate) have 10x to 9.8T in AUM over the past decade and are projected to grow to $17T in the next five years. However, digital infrastructure has not kept pace, with most of the market operating predominantly in error-prone, internal-only software solutions. PactFi provides secure, end-to-end, operational infrastructure for managing complex private credit transactions. Our web-based application brings together all parties involved in such a transaction to more efficiently allocate capital, complete KYC, share documents, manage funds flow, and more. The platform is secured to a bank-grade standard, and we have received our SOC 2 Type 2 attestation. PactFi was developed in close partnership with two of the industry's largest players, both of whom represent the top 3 players in the private credit space by both size (AUM) and deal activity. We've proven out our flagship product offering in the market and are currently building out several other core offerings. The result of these tools being used in concert is a strong demand for API connectivity. We are looking for a technical Product Manager who will work closely with our clients/prospects and engineering teams as we seek to enable seamless data flow in/out of our platform. As the company enters this crucial growth period with an influx of usage, we see the role as an opportunity to take ownership of a first-of-its-kind product set and to deliver meaningful change and efficiency to the private asset market.
