Senior Product Manager, Fund Management

Posted Friday, August 7, 2026 at 4:00 AM Purpose Unlimited is an independent financial services company with an unrelenting focus on customer-centric innovation, delivered through technology-driven solutions. Led by entrepreneur Som Seif, the company is developing a diversified product platform aimed at addressing historically underserved segments of the market. Purpose Investments is an innovation-driven asset management company with over $20 billion under management, offering both managed and quantitative investment products. The Fund Management squad sits at the foundation of our asset management business. This cross-functional team is accountable, end to end, for transforming how Purpose runs its investment fund operations – moving fund accounting, performance, trading operations, and the data that underpin these all onto a single governed platform. The book of record for our funds, the daily NAVs we strike, and every performance number we quote externally all trace back to the work this squad does. Product Manager, Fund Management, you will own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for this squad. You will collaborate with other teams to decide what gets built and in what order, working directly with operations, engineering, data, and compliance to solve the problems that matter most. You will lead from the front – not as a project manager tracking tickets, but as the person who understands the problem space deeply enough to make the right calls under pressure. Translate product vision and strategy into an actionable, sequenced roadmap across the master-data spine and the valuation, activity, investor, and disclosure pipelines Partner with investment operations, fund accounting, data engineering, and compliance to deeply understand workflows, source systems, and regulatory constraints Define and prioritize requirements that meet operational, regulatory, and analytical standards Pressure-test major design decisions – naming the alternatives considered, the assumptions made, and what would prove them wrong Act as a close partner to the engineering and data leads on priorities and trade-offs, leading planning and review sessions as the product authority in the squad Track delivery against clear, business-language measures of success and report progress to stakeholders on a regular cadence Fund performance calculations You will consolidate it so that every externally-quoted performance claim traces back to one auditable source. You will own the primary record of fund holdings, positions, NAVs, flows, and activity events that both fund accounting and performance sit on. You will move the business from a patchwork of partial, segment-by-segment records to a single governed foundation. The data platform You will define the vision and roadmap for the master-data source and the pipelines – valuation and NAV, activity, investor, and disclosure and tax – that bring raw feeds from custodians, transfer agents, sub-advisors, and pricing vendors into governed schemas under explicit contracts. You have meaningful experience in asset management, fund operations, or fund accounting, or a closely adjacent domain. You understand NAV, fund flows, performance and attribution, the roles of custodians, transfer agents, and sub-advisors, and the disclosure and regulatory obligations of a Canadian fund manager. You know the difference between a product manager and a project manager, and you operate firmly in the former. You have a clear point of view on prioritization, can defend it with data and evidence, and are comfortable saying no when capacity demands it. Technical fluency You can have an intelligent conversation with an engineer about data models, pipelines, schema design, or system integration without needing translation. You do not write code – but you understand enough to ask the right questions and make informed trade-offs about a data architecture. You build trust quickly with engineering, operations, compliance, and senior leaders – including stakeholders who report through different parts of the organization. You can align diverse groups around a shared direction without formal authority, taking their advice seriously without being gated by it. You actively look for opportunities to use AI and automation to replace manual checks, automate validation and reconciliation, and make fund data observable and self-monitoring. Fund management processes that get better day by day, removing frictions and improving the experience Every fund performance number – returns, attribution, peers, AUM and flows – computed from one canonical surface and reconciled to source Governed schemas that answer the business’s real questions – like where AUM is actually calculated – instead of leaving consumers to compute against raw data An engineering and data squad that knows exactly what to build next, and why We believe in innovation and a vibrant culture
