About this role
About Prophecy
Prophecy is building the next generation of AI-powered Data Prep and Analytics. Our platform enables business analysts and data teams to transform raw data into reliable, production-ready datasets and insights faster, using modern data infrastructure and AI-driven capabilities. We work with leading enterprises to simplify how organizations prepare, analyze, and operationalize data, while maintaining strong governance, security, and operational control. Our mission is to make it dramatically easier for organizations to turn complex data into trusted insights that drive decisions.
Why This Role Exists
We are expanding our platform into complex, data-intensive verticals, starting with Structured Finance.
Structured finance workflows, which span asset-level data ingestion, cash flow modeling, tranche structuring, and regulatory reporting, are among the most analytically demanding and operationally complex in the enterprise.
They are also highly manual and fragmented, deeply dependent on data quality and lineage, and increasingly in need of AI-driven automation and insight generation.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager who operates as a builder and owner, and who brings strong intuition for structured finance workflows, to help define how these processes evolve in an AI-native world.
You will own a product area end-to-end and shape how financial institutions go from raw financial data → models → insights → decisions → actions.
What You’ll Do
Product Strategy & Ownership
Own and evolve the roadmap for a product area over a 1–3 quarter horizon, balancing customer needs, technical investments, and business goals
Define how capabilities such as data preparation, modeling, and analytics come together into cohesive systems
Make thoughtful trade-offs across customer needs, technical constraints, and business impact
Think in systems: how does the product support the full lifecycle from asset ingestion to reporting and decisioning
Domain Insight & Discovery
Develop deep understanding of structured finance workflows, including asset-backed securities (ABS), MBS, CLOs, or similar instruments, loan-level data ingestion and normalization, cash flow modeling and scenario analysis, tranche structuring and risk analysis, amd regulatory and investor reporting.
Engage directly with customers (banks, asset managers, fintechs) to uncover constraints, inefficiencies, and unmet needs
Frame complex financial and operational problems into clear, actionable problem statements
AI-Native Product Development
Use AI tools (LLMs, copilots, workflows) as a core part of product development, not an afterthought
Build lightweight prototypes (prompts, workflows, internal tools) to validate ideas before writing full specifications
Identify where AI-driven capabilities and automation can meaningfully improve user workflows
Ensure AI features are reliable, explainable, and aligned with enterprise requirements
Product Development & Execution
Work closely with engineering and design to deliver high-quality product capabilities
Write clear, structured product specifications grounded in data and user insight
Define success metrics and track adoption, impact, and effectiveness
Monitor execution progress, identify risks early, and drive cross-team alignment
Maintain a high bar for usability, reliability, and product integrity
Cross-Functional Leadership
Align engineering, design, sales, and customer success around shared outcomes
Communicate product direction through clear documentation and structured decision-making
Resolve ambiguity and misalignment quickly to maintain execution momentum
Contribute to product positioning and narrative through artifacts such as one-pagers, demos, and customer-facing materials
Operational Ownership
Own the operational health of your product area, including performance monitoring, feature adoption, issue triage, and iteration cycles
Establish and improve repeatable processes that increase execution speed and predictability
Who You Are
Required
5+ years of product management experience in data platforms, analytics products, or financial technology
Strong understanding of structured finance concepts and workflows, e.g. ABS, MBS, CLOs, etc.
Experience working closely with engineering teams to deliver technical products
Experience working with complex, data-intensive systems
Ability to translate domain-specific problems into clear product requirements
Strong communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex financial and technical concepts
Preferred
Experience operating in a high-growth startup environment (Series A–C)
Experience working in or with investment banks, asset managers, fintechs, or structured finance platforms as well as loan-level datasets, cash flow models, or risk systems
Familiar with modern data infrastructure, e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Spark, SQL
Experience building or shipping AI/ML-powered features in regulated environments
Comfort using AI tools (LLMs, copilots) to accelerate product thinking and prototyping
How You Work
You operate with a sense of end-to-end ownership and accountability
You are comfortable with ambiguity and move quickly to create clarity
You combine product intuition with data-driven decision making
You use tools including AI to increase leverage and speed
You care deeply about building products that deliver real, measurable outcomes for customers
Why This Role is Unique
This role sits at the intersection of structured finance domain expertise modern data infrastructure, and AI-native product development
You’ll have the opportunity to define how one of the most complex and critical areas of financial services is rebuilt for an AI-native world.
