[Hiring] Senior Technical Project Manager @Allocate

Role Description

Allocate is modernizing private markets, making alternative investments more accessible and streamlined for wealth advisory firms and family offices. Backed by leading firms and driven by a mission to remove barriers in private market investing, we leverage over 100 years of collective experience to transform the industry.

We are building an AI-native product organization that moves extremely fast — from idea → prototype → client feedback → production in days, not months. To do that well, we need a force multiplier and builder.

Your Mission:

• Increase the velocity of the product organization.
• Identify friction, remove blockers, accelerate decisions, and compress feedback loops.
• Operate as a technical operator inside the product organization.
• Work alongside makers — not above them.

What Success Looks Like:

• The team should feel noticeably faster within your first few months.
• Work that used to take weeks happens in days.
• Blockers disappear before they slow the team down.
• Leadership has visibility into what’s happening without needing constant status meetings.
• Introduce tools, workflows, and habits that compound the team’s effectiveness over time.
• Fix issues without waiting for permission.
• The team ships better products faster than before you joined.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Accelerate delivery by driving rapid feedback loops between prototyping, client input, and production.
• Keep multiple parallel workstreams moving without creating bottlenecks or bureaucracy.
• Identify what's blocking a maker and remove it — same day.
• Keep leadership and key stakeholders informed with signal, not noise.
• Create clarity and momentum in ambiguous environments.
• Identify and surface risks and cross-team dependencies before they become problems.
• Protect the team’s focus so builders can build.
• Help the team prioritize the work that matters most right now.
• Eliminate coordination overhead wherever possible.
• Treat process as a product — continuously improving it as the team evolves.
• Use AI tools to prototype, draft specs, generate briefs, and unblock the team.
• Contribute directly to delivery rather than only coordinating others.
• Continuously experiment with new AI tooling and share what works across the team.
• Identify where AI can eliminate manual coordination overhead and implement it.
• Evolve tools and workflows as the team grows.
• Build lightweight systems that improve alignment without slowing teams down.
• Ensure distributed teams communicate effectively across time zones.
• Continuously look for ways to increase the speed and effectiveness of the product organization.

Qualifications

• Experience shipping real products in fast-moving startup environments; early-stage startup experience strongly preferred.
• A maker mindset — you would rather prototype a solution than write a slide deck about it.
• Strong familiarity with modern AI tooling and curiosity about how it changes how teams build software.
• Comfortable using AI tools in your daily workflow to improve productivity and coordination.
• Strong judgment about when to move fast and when to slow down.
• Ability to hold context across business, product, design, and engineering without requiring rigid handoff processes.
• Excellent communication skills — async-first, direct, and oriented toward decisions rather than status updates.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity; you create structure rather than waiting for it.
• High ownership and accountability — when something is stuck, you make it move.
• Experience working with distributed teams.
• A Bachelor’s degree; studies in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience) would be helpful.

Requirements

• This role may not be for you if you prefer structured environments where responsibilities are narrowly defined.
• You are uncomfortable experimenting with AI tooling to improve how teams operate.
• You prefer well-defined roadmaps and long planning cycles.

Benefits

• Location: Remote
• Reports to the Lead Technical Project Manager
• Base Salary Range: $155,000-$170,000
• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, responsible time off (RTO), 401K
• Employment: Full-time
