About The Position
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead and evolve our estate planning platform. This is a uniquely impactful role where you will define how advisors interact with the estate platform to service their customers. This is a high-ambiguity environment where you will be building new capabilities across our AI-powered product, document creation, platform, and core application. Success requires balancing user needs, model behavior, legal constraints, and business priorities, often with incomplete information.
Requirements
- 5+ years in product management, with direct ownership of shipping features
- Experience working with commercial SaaS products, including embedded AI - ideally with hands-on familiarity (prompting, testing models, using AI tools to validate assumptions)
- Comfortable turning messy, ambiguous problem spaces into structured, incremental delivery plans
- Demonstrated ability to work closely with engineering and understand tradeoffs (latency, accuracy, model behavior, retrieval constraints)
- Demonstrable use of AI tools in your own workflow (analysis, spec writing, research, QA)
- Strong analytical skills and comfort working directly with data (SQL, Mixpanel, Looker, or similar is a plus)
- Excellent written communication—you can write fast, clearly, and with enough precision for engineers to execute
- Experience at startups, scale-ups, or any environment where velocity and autonomy matter
- Experience in a SaaS company shipping commercial grade software
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with LLMs, associated architectures, or prompt engineering at a working level
- Exposure to or experience in fintech, wealthtech, or regulated industries
- Background in B2B SaaS serving professional users (advisors, attorneys, accountants)
- You've worked in high demand and velocity environments
Responsibilities
- Translate high-level direction into clear, buildable scopes without waiting for perfect inputs
- Partner with product leadership on priorities, then own the execution end-to-end
- Write crisp, detailed requirements and user stories that anticipate edge cases, failure states, and dependencies
- Work closely with engineering to break work down, remove blockers, and keep momentum high
- Define success metrics and build lightweight dashboards or queries to monitor them
- Lead discovery yourself—interviews, workflow mapping, quick validation loops
- Collaborate with design to rapidly prototype, test, and refine interaction patterns
- Identify opportunities for simplification across the product workflows and contribute to architectural cleanup
- Champion AI internally by using it in your workflow and helping teammates adopt AI-first processes
- Find valuable ways to embed AI into the product experience to delight our customers.
- Drive alignment across engineering, design, and GTM so shipped work stays coherent and connected
- Ship quickly, measure, learn, and iterate
Benefits
- Flexible paid time off policy
- 10 company-wide paid holidays
- Parental leave, 4 weeks for all full-time employees and up to 12 weeks for birthing parents
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits coverage for employees and their families
- 401K eligibility after one month of employment
- Free estate planning documents
- Budget for learning & development
- Budget for home office setup
- Paid parking or transit for hybrid and in office employees
