About us:

Kurtosys builds digital and reporting platforms for leading global asset and wealth managers. Our products sit at the core of how firms communicate performance, risk, and investment information, in high-trust, data-intensive environments where accuracy, auditability, and scale are non-negotiable.

Product at Kurtosys is evolving with intent. We are strengthening clarity of ownership, sharpening our focus on measurable outcomes, and embracing modern product practices, including AI-assisted workflows, to move faster without compromising quality.

We are building a product organisation that combines domain depth with structured thinking and real accountability. This role is part of that journey.


The Role:

Product Managers at Kurtosys contribute across multiple product domains - spanning foundational platform capabilities and client-facing reporting and digital solutions.

We operate through outcome-led initiatives aligned to longer-term product themes. Within those initiatives, PMs take meaningful end-to-end ownership, shaping the problem, driving delivery, and ensuring measurable impact.

Roadmaps are shaped collaboratively, but accountability is clear. You will be trusted to prioritise effectively, make trade-offs thoughtfully, and ensure the work you lead delivers real value.

This is a role for someone who wants real ownership in a complex, regulated environment - and who is motivated to grow into a strong, well-rounded Product Manager in world that is evolving daily as AI scales.


Role Responsibilities:

As a Product Manager at Kurtosys, you will operate at the intersection of client need, platform capability, and commercial impact.

You will:

Lead outcome-driven initiatives

  • Frame complex problems clearly and define outcome-focused initiatives aligned to product themes.
  • Translate strategic intent into coherent, well-scoped execution plans.
  • Define meaningful success measures and ensure impact can be measured post-release.
  • Make pragmatic trade-offs to deliver value early while protecting long-term platform integrity.

Drive high-quality delivery

  • Own and prioritise backlogs within your initiatives with clarity and discipline.
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering and Design from discovery through release – not through handover.
  • Maintain high standards of scope definition, acceptance criteria, and delivery quality.
  • Balance speed with correctness in a regulated, data-intensive context.

Shape direction, not just execute

  • Contribute actively to roadmap discussions and product decisions.
  • Bring structured thinking to ambiguous problems.
  • Challenge assumptions constructively and balance requests with scalable product thinking.

Ensure adoption and realised value

  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure launches are enabled and coherent.
  • Monitor usage, adoption, and feedback signals.
  • Iterate intentionally to maximise long-term value and scalability.

What Will Make You Successful Here

This role suits Product Managers who are thoughtful, structured, and comfortable taking ownership in a complex environment.

You’ll thrive at Kurtosys if you:

  • Think in systems, not features - looking for scalable patterns rather than one-off solutions.
  • Care about outcomes over activity - understanding that impact matters more than shipping volume.
  • Are comfortable with shared ownership and influencing across domains.
  • Bring intellectual honesty and are willing to change your perspective when data or insight demands it.
  • Operate well in complexity - regulated financial environments sharpen your thinking rather than intimidate you.
  • Value collaboration and see product as a team sport.
  • Are curious about how product management is evolving, including the role of AI in accelerating discovery and delivery.

You don’t need to have all the answers - but you should be motivated to ask great questions.

What We’re Looking For

You likely have:

  • 3-5 years’ experience in Product Management
  • Background or education in information systems, computer science, or related fields
  • Experience in fintech or financial services environments
  • Demonstrable knowledge with the asset, wealth or investment management industries (highly desirable)
  • Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with the ability to work across complex systems
  • Comfort working closely as part of a cross-functional team and making trade-off decisions
  • Clear, structured communication skills
  • Experience with agile delivery practices and tools such as Jira and Confluence

Advantageous but not essential:

  • Data querying experience (SQL or similar)

More important than what’s on your CV is your mindset: ownership, structured thinking, curiosity, and a desire to build meaningful products in a serious domain.

Why Join Us:

This is an opportunity to build your product career in an environment that values substance over noise.

At Kurtosys, you will:

  • Work on products used by global asset and wealth managers operating in highly regulated markets.
  • Develop deep expertise in reporting, digital experience, and platform capabilities within financial services.
  • Contribute to a product organisation that is actively maturing and evolving, where your thinking can influence not just what we build, but how we build.
  • Grow into greater strategic ownership as the product model continues to evolve.

We offer competitive compensation, hybrid flexibility, and a collaborative culture — but more importantly, we offer meaningful ownership and the opportunity to build serious product capability in a complex industry.

If you are motivated by building scalable, high-trust products and growing as a disciplined Product Manager, we’d like to hear from you.
