Role Overview  

We are looking to hire a Technical Product Manager to lead product for Salesforce at CAIS and to work directly in the system alongside our Salesforce team. Salesforce is where our Sales, operations, and client service teams manage firms, advisors, trades, and cases, so this role directly shapes how our teams work each day. The role also provides product support for our Data team, in an advisory capacity. 

You will build a single, prioritized roadmap with Sales leaders for Funds and Capital Markets and with our operations and client service teams, so that work is planned and understood cross functionally. You will configure Salesforce yourself, write clear requirements for the engineers and administrators who build with you, and work to improve Sales adoption and data quality across the system. 

AI is central to how we work and what we build. We expect this person to use AI tools every day to drive product outcomes, from research and requirements to prioritization and measuring results, and to define how Salesforce evolves with AI at CAIS. 

Key Responsibilities  

• Own the Salesforce roadmap as the team’s product lead. Partner with Sales and our operations and client service teams to build one cohesive plan, and keep it current as priorities change. 
• Run intake and prioritization. Replace request-by-request work with a clear process for how requests are received, ranked, and scheduled, and make trade-offs visible to stakeholders. 
• Configure Salesforce directly: build and maintain flows, custom objects, fields, and permissions, and write clear requirements for work your teammates build. 
• Drive Sales adoption. Understand how Sales teams actually use Salesforce, remove friction, support training, and measure usage. 
• Own data quality: duplicate prevention, firm, team, and contact structure, and third-party enrichment, with one trusted source for each key data point shared between the CAIS platform and Salesforce. 
• Own the integrations between the CAIS platform and Salesforce, such as trade and client data syncs, so Sales and Finance see accurate and timely information. 
• Define how Salesforce evolves with AI, including AI assistants that work inside the CRM, automated record updates and activity logging, and evidence-based recommendations on what to build. 
• Use AI tools in your daily work to move faster and make better decisions, including discovery, drafting requirements, analyzing data, and keeping stakeholders informed, and help your team do the same. 
• Provide advisory oversight of the Data team's roadmap and work tracking board, partnering with the Data team's leader on planning. 
• Represent Salesforce priorities in cross-functional planning, translating technical trade-offs into business-impact language for non-technical stakeholders. 

Skills & Experience Required  

• Demonstrated product management experience, including ownership of a CRM or another internal business system, ideally within financial services or another regulated environment. 
• Hands-on Salesforce experience: you have configured flows, custom objects, fields, and permission sets yourself, at Salesforce Administrator level or higher. 
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools to drive product outcomes, with concrete examples of how it changed what you shipped or how fast you shipped it. 
• Experience improving CRM data quality and user adoption, including duplicate management and clear rules for who owns which data. 
• Experience leading day-to-day product delivery with engineers and administrators, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, and release coordination. 
• Strong stakeholder management skills: able to balance competing requests from Sales, operations, and executives, say no with a clear rationale, and explain technical trade-offs in business terms. 

Highly Advantageous Skills  

• Salesforce certifications such as Administrator, Advanced Administrator, or Platform App Builder. 
• Experience with Salesforce integrations, including APIs and event-based data syncs with other systems. 
• Experience connecting AI assistants to CRM data, including controlled write-back to Salesforce records. 
• Working knowledge of SQL and a cloud data warehouse such as Snowflake. 
• Experience in wealth management, asset management, or financial services sales.
