Staff Product Manager, Files Platform

Addepar

2d•$142,000 - $223,000

About The Position

We are seeking a Staff Product Manager to lead Addepar’s Files Platform. Files touch nearly every workflow at Addepar: client reporting, alternatives document lineage, collaboration with external parties like tax advisors, and audit trails for sophisticated global firms. As we serve more large RIAs, family offices, banks, and alternatives-heavy institutions, how we manage documents becomes a core differentiator for client trust and platform value. We're replatforming our file management experience onto an enterprise content partner (Box), creating a foundation for stronger search, metadata, permissions, sharing, and workflow capabilities. This role owns what comes next: taking that foundation and turning it into an intelligent document workflow layer that serves clients, internal teams, and downstream product surfaces. On the platform side, you'll shape commercial and technical strategy around a major partner integration, deciding where Addepar should leverage vendor capabilities versus where we build differentiated product, workflow, and API surfaces. On the intelligence side, you'll define how capabilities like document summarization, auto-classification, content-based search, and workflow automation can make file management meaningfully smarter for enterprise users while maintaining the auditability and permissioning controls they require. You'll own product strategy and execution across migration completion, platform buildout, and roadmap definition. This is a cross-functional role that requires aligning engineering, design, security, legal, and client-facing teams around a shared vision for how files work at Addepar.

Requirements

7+ years of Product Management experience, or equivalent industry / subject matter expertise in fintech, SaaS, enterprise software, data platforms, workflow products, document management, collaboration tools, or infrastructure-heavy product areas.
A track record of owning product strategy and execution end-to-end, from discovery through launch, adoption, and measurable outcomes. You are data-driven and impact-oriented.
A strong systems thinker comfortable with technically complex products involving APIs, permissioning, metadata, search, migrations, integrations, and data models
A clear and persuasive communicator; you simplify complexity and build alignment across product, engineering, design, security, legal, and go-to-market
Deeply customer- and workflow-oriented, with empathy for the full range of users who depend on files: advisors, end clients, operations teams, API consumers, and external collaborators like tax advisors and auditors
Ability to make sound build-vs-buy/partner decisions and articulate the tradeoffs to a diverse range of internal stakeholders.
Commercially thoughtful, with the ability to connect Files Platform investments to client adoption, retention, expansion, operational efficiency, partner strategy, and future monetization opportunities.
Interested in the future of intelligent document workflows, including how AI, metadata, search, classification, summarization, and workflow automation can make enterprise file systems more useful, secure, and actionable.
Thrives in complex, high-ownership environments where the work involves both near-term execution and long-term platform strategy across multiple teams and stakeholder groups.
