You'll own the roadmap and backlog for Empyrean ALM, our most established and widely used product, which banks and credit unions use to manage interest rate risk, funds transfer pricing and ALCO reporting. You'll work directly with the CFOs, treasurers and analysts who use it every day, and turn what you learn into clear requirements that make a mature product sharper and take it further up-market.

What this role is really like

This is strategic product management, not project management. ALM is a mature, calculation-heavy product with a large customer base. The work is less about launching something new and more about writing precise requirements, partnering closely with the ALM engineering team every day, and shipping meaningful improvements each release. You'll do the customer research yourself rather than hand it off. If you'd rather focus on vision than detailed requirements, or see the job as managing timelines and tickets, this won't be the right fit.

What you'll do

• Own the Empyrean ALM roadmap and backlog end to end, from discovery through requirements, delivery and ongoing improvement

• Run discovery yourself across the full ALM workflow, interviewing and shadowing ALM managers and analysts, including at the largest, most complex institutions, to guide ALM up-market

• Write clear, precise requirements for complex financial calculations and workflows

• Work with the ALM engineering team every day: groom the backlog, clarify requirements, make feature-level trade-offs and unblock delivery, while engineering owns the implementation

• Use product usage data and customer feedback to prioritize, reduce complexity, and balance new capability against technical debt, performance and calculation accuracy

• Communicate the roadmap and trade-offs to engineers, executives and ALM practitioners, and work with product marketing and sales on positioning

What you bring

Must-haves

• You have a track record of shipping complex B2B products customers value as a product manager in B2B SaaS or enterprise software.

• You do your own discovery: You personally run customer research, not just review other people's findings.

• You write precise requirements: You've defined detailed functional requirements for calculation- or data-heavy software.

• You're technical: You're comfortable discussing architecture, data models, APIs and integrations with engineers.

• You work well with enterprise buyers and in complex stakeholder environments.

• You prioritize well: You've set roadmap strategy and made sound decisions under constraints.

Nice to have

• 5+ years of product management experience

• Asset/liability management, interest rate risk or bank/credit union treasury experience, or a close equivalent in another regulated, quantitative field, plus a grasp of financial accounting concepts

• Jobs-to-be-Done or other structured discovery methods

• A track record of improving and extending a mature product, not only new builds

Why Empyrean

• Own the flagship product in our Balance Sheet Risk vertical, with real autonomy over strategy and backlog

• A large, engaged customer base to learn from, and a growing product team that works shoulder to shoulder with engineering

• AI tools, including Claude, available to every employee from day one
