This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for someone who wants to learn product management by doing it inside a fast-moving, category-defining Gen AI startup, not by observing someone else's decisions from the sidelines. You'll sit at the intersection of financial services domain expertise, cutting-edge Gen AI capability, and real customer workflows inside PE, private credit, and M& A teams, translating what you learn into product decisions that ship and that customers feel.\nThe core responsibilities for the job include the following:\nMarket Research:\nConduct in-depth research into fintech and Gen AI trends and advancements, staying ahead of market dynamics that inform product strategy and competitive positioning.\nTrack emerging AI/ML techniques and tooling applicable to investment research and underwriting.\nSynthesize findings into clear, actionable recommendations for the leadership team.\nCustomer Insights:\nDevelop a deep understanding of our target customers' PE, private credit, and M& A teams, including their workflows, pain points, and expectations of a solution.\nRun and synthesize customer interviews, demos, and feedback sessions.\nTranslate insights into a sharp, continuously evolving product value proposition.\nCompetitor Research:\nAnalyze the competitive landscape to understand Binocs's position and identify areas of opportunity and differentiation.\nMonitor competitor product launches, positioning shifts, strengths, weaknesses, and pricing moves.\nProduct Spec Work:\nLead the creation of detailed product specifications that articulate the vision, user stories, and functionality, aligned with customer needs and business goals.\nWrite specs precise enough for engineering and QA to build against with minimal back-and-forth.\nProject Management:\nAct as the linchpin between development, QA, and business stakeholders, managing the product development lifecycle end to end.\nOwn timelines, unblock the team, and ensure delivery matches spec, quality bar, and business need.\nCore Business Strategy:\nCollaborate closely with the founder and leadership team to shape Binocs's business strategy, bringing market, competitor, and customer insight directly into decisions on target markets, positioning, and innovation pathways.\nWhat Success Looks Like:\nFirst 30 days: You understand our customers, product, and Gen AI framework well enough to speak about all three fluently, both internally and with customers.\nIn the first 90 days, you own at least one product area end-to-end from research and spec through to shipped feature and are a trusted voice in prioritization discussions.\nWithin a year, you're independently driving a meaningful slice of the roadmap, with customers and engineering both looking to you for direction in your area.\nRequirements:\nMBA, engineering, or an equivalent degree from a top-tier university.\n0-2 years of experience, ideally with some exposure to fintech, financial services, B2B SaaS, or Gen AI through internships, projects, or full-time work.\nGenuine curiosity about financial services, particularly private equity and private credit; prior coursework, internships, or projects in this space are a strong plus.\nExceptional written and verbal communication skills, paired with sharp commercial and business acumen.\nA bias for action, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to move fast in a resource-constrained, high-growth environment.\nStrong analytical rigor and a genuine commitment to data-driven decision-making.\nWillingness to learn quickly, take feedback well, and travel globally for customer demos as needed.\nCommitment to working from the office, with high ethical standards and integrity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3883,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Advisory, Valuation & Restructuring","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T12:36:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":87,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.875,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["seen:5","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,attention"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/binocs-associate-product-manager-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/binocs-associate-product-manager-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T07:29:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11156,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3780442},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3780442"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbinocs-associate-product-manager-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbinocs-associate-product-manager-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbinocs-associate-product-manager-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/binocs-associate-product-manager-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbinocs-associate-product-manager-2"}]}
