Senior Product Manager
at DescrialABOUT DESCRIAL Descrial is an AI work-execution platform purpose-built for alternative investment firms and their portfolio companies and securely orchestrates proprietary data, external sources, and workflows. Descrial is an important pillar of Enterprise Intelligence Orchestration (EIO) and enables it by structuring and standardizing data while embedding domain expertise, thereby enabling faster and contextual analysis, broader coverage, and more intelligent decision-making. It is backed by TresVista's 1,800+ employees and deep domain expertise across investment diligence, research, valuation, fund administration, accounting, and data analytics. The team is small, senior, high-ownership, and in-office, with direct access to the Executive Committee. OVERVIEW As a Senior Product Manager in the UK team, you will be the product lead for a dedicated capability area of W-OS — owning its strategy and roadmap as well as its delivery, from discovery through specification, build and iteration. You will work daily with the engineers and designers building it, close to the investment professionals who use it, and alongside the commercial team taking it to market. This is a senior seat with real ownership: you set the direction for your area, not just the sprint. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Strategy and roadmap
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for your capability area: where it is going, what it will and will not do, and why
- Define and defend prioritisation with evidence; maintain a tagged, traceable backlog that engineering trusts
- Contribute your area's view to the wider W-OS roadmap alongside the Head of Product Management Requirements and delivery
- Break complex capability areas down into actionable requirements at the right level of granularity — epics, features and user stories — and refine them continuously with design and engineering
- Run agile delivery properly: backlog refinement, sprint planning, acceptance criteria that hold, and release governance
- Work in-loop with London engineers and the Bengaluru delivery organisation through build, test, and release Data, integrations and AI quality
- Own product decisions across APIs, integrations and machine-delivery services — how data reaches the platform, how clients connect to it, and what a good integration experience looks like
- Define what good looks like for LLM-powered features: golden examples, evaluation criteria, and regression expectations with the engineering team
- Design for non-deterministic systems: managing hallucination risk, setting output-quality expectations, and deciding what a user must be able to verify
- Balance capability, latency, and token cost deliberately — the platform's economics are a product surface Customer, market and go-to-market
- Stay close to customers and the market: structured discovery with investment-domain users, validation of what you are building, and a clear view of how competitors are solving the same problems
- Support go-to-market with the commercial, marketing and operations teams: positioning input, release notes and internal enablement WHO YOU ARE Prerequisites
- 6–9 years working as a Product Manager — dedicated product management experience, not adjacent business-analysis or product-analyst time
- Evidence of owning the roadmap for a dedicated product area, end to end, in a B2B or enterprise context
- Product management experience in the financial services industry; asset management or private markets is a distinct advantage
- Complete comfort breaking complex capability areas into epics, features and user stories, and refining them with design and engineering
- Experienced in agile product management
- Comfortable with APIs and related integration and machine-delivery services
- Working fluency with modern AI product concepts: RAG, agents, evaluation, prompt/structured-output patterns Good to have
- Experience leading or mentoring product managers. Managing and mentoring more junior product managers will likely become a bigger part of this role over time, so any experience of it would be an advantage
- An agile certification
- Go-to-market experience — working with commercial, marketing and operations teams to bring products to market
- Exposure to multi-tenant enterprise platforms and permissioned data EDUCATION Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience. WHAT WE OFFER
- You will be working closely with the Executive Committee who have over 20 years of experience in leading a company with 400+ leading clients in the alternative investment space
- Competitive compensation
- Opportunity to build something impactful for established and leading companies in the financial services industry
- Innovative, supportive, and collaborative work environment
- Office in central London (King's Cross) HOW WE HIRE
- Stage 1: Introductory conversation
- Stage 2: Product assessment interview with the Principal Product Manager
- Stage 3: Interview with a senior member of the team
- Stage 4: Final interview with a member of the Executive Committee
