Product Manager

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’re looking for a Product Manager to take meaningful ownership of a first-of-its-kind product as we enter a critical growth phase. Our flagship product is in market, user adoption is accelerating, and demand for expanded functionality is growing quickly. You will work closely with design, engineering, and business development to define new product segments, bring them to market, and drive successful user adoption. This is a hands-on role with real autonomy, direct customer access, and the opportunity to shape foundational infrastructure in private markets.
