Role Description

Apex Leaders is looking for a sharp, outcome-driven Senior Product Manager to own and execute the next evolution of our AI-powered intelligence platform for private equity.

• Deliver the AI Roadmap: Successfully execute the initial phases of Apex's product strategy, launching AI-assisted workstreams that directly power and elevate our core service lines.
• Drive Product Adoption & Trust: Refine core platform capabilities—focusing on automated document synthesis, data verifiability, and secure enterprise storage—to drive pilot client engagement and build user confidence.
• Define H2 2027 Vision: Lead deep user discovery and technical scoping to establish requirements for our next generation of platform capabilities slated for development in mid-2027.

• Guide Non-Technical Agent Owners: Interface directly with internal business leads ("agent owners") to help them articulate operational pain points, refine business logic, and scope AI agent functionality prior to technical hand-off.

• Own the Product Lifecycle: Maintain a prioritized backlog and lead sprint planning for internal engineering teams and external development partners.
• Design for High-Stakes Users: Build intuitive B2B software tailored to Private Equity decision-makers where data privacy, source attribution, and "human-in-the-loop" UI are essential.
• Cross-Functional Execution: Partner closely with executive leadership, UI/UX designers, and dev vendors to maintain a predictable, high-velocity release cadence.

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of B2B SaaS Product Management experience, ideally with exposure to Financial Services, Private Equity, M&A, or complex enterprise workflow tools.
• Translator Mindset: Proven track record of bridging the gap between non-technical business stakeholders and engineering teams—helping internal business leads refine raw ideas into structured product requirements.
• Hands-On AI/LLM Experience: Demonstrated experience shipping AI-integrated products, with an understanding of how to weave AI into practical workflows while solving for trust, hallucinations, and source attribution.
• User-Centric Discovery Skills: Ability to interview high-value users, extract core pain points, and validate prototypes before writing code.
• Strong Technical Execution: Comfortable navigating database architecture, API integrations, and managing third-party dev vendors alongside internal teams.
• Self-Starter Mindset: Thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment with high autonomy.

Benefits

• Target Salary Range: $115,000 – $150,000 annually.
• Annual Profit Sharing Program: Share in the company’s financial success.
