Asset Product Management Acceleration & User Design Optimization, Vice President

This role will drive evaluating and scaling AI-assisted tools that improve product management and tech workflows and throughput, and utilize AI across our Asset Wealth Management (AWM) Digital, Data, and Distribution (D3) ecosystem to optimize capacity planning and dependency management, to maximize business and P&L impact across our shared roadmaps representing the client, advisor, and marketer personas. The role will also analyze and evolve our user experience design strategy, determining the right mix of vendor and internal resources to optimize for the right design outcomes accelerated with AI capabilities. AI tools are enabling more rapid iteration, faster MVP designs, and accelerated piloting and in doing so, they are creating opportunities to evolve the skills and capabilities that product managers of the future will need (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and VS Code) to deliver superior end-to-end user experiences. At the same time, AI is introducing new categories of risk, so this role will also be responsible for managing the risk & control framework to deploy AI responsibly and in accordance with firm guidelines.

As a Product Manager in Asset Wealth Management (AWM) Digital, Data, and Distribution Product Optimization, you will identify how our teams should be deployed to create synergies, with a strong focus on OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and delivering measurable P&L value through growth opportunities and operational efficiencies. A successful candidate must be comfortable charting new ways of working where current structures need to change, and collaborative by nature. This role requires strategic thinking and direct experience with emerging AI capabilities. Beyond tooling, this role will be pivotal in reshaping how D3 teams align towards common business objectives, and deploy team resources and capacity (including vendor budgets), including how capacity and prioritization is communicated to key stakeholder groups.
