We replace legacy systems with modern software and integrated services, helping fund managers save time, impress investors, and grow AUM.\nSince launching just over two years ago, Caruso has grown rapidly to $80B+ in assets, 900+ funds, and 80,000+ investors on the platform. We just completed our Series A capital raise, and are looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build a global business.\nRole Summary\nWe’re looking for a Product Manager who builds. Someone technically fluent, energised by ambiguity, and motivated by seeing things ship - not just planned.\nAs a Product Manager at Caruso, you’ll own product outcomes across complex customer problems. You’ll define what gets built, build working prototypes to test your assumptions, write articulate and concise specs, and stay close to delivery - unblocking engineers and agents as needed.\nYou’ll work directly with enterprise clients and need the experience and judgement to translate messy requirements into buildable, prioritised product work - and the diplomacy to say no when needed.\nWhat You’ll Do\n1. Product Definition & Scoping\nYou will define what gets built and in what order\nDig deep to understand the real problem, not just the surface request\n\nBreak down complex client needs into buildable, prioritised product work\n\nWrite clear specs and acceptance criteria that engineers and agents can execute against\n\nPrioritise ruthlessly across bugs, features, and technical debt\n\nBuild working prototypes in Claude Code / Design to validate assumptions before committing engineering effort\n\nSense-check decisions across a growing product surface area to avoid conflicts or duplication\n\n2. Delivery & Engineering Partnership\nYou keep things moving and ship alongside engineers.\nUnblock engineers and agents by working through scope and technical tradeoffs together in real time\n\nStay close to delivery - you’re in the detail, not handing off documents and waiting\n\nShip small features and refinements directly in the codebase using our agents\n\nManage competing priorities and stakeholder expectations across engineering, design, and client teams\n\nHelp engineers make good tradeoffs between speed, quality, and long-term platform health\n\n3. Customer & Client Engagement\nYou will work close to real customer problems.\nEngage directly with enterprise clients to translate requirements into product direction\n\nBalance enterprise client needs with platform consistency and scalability\n\nAct as the bridge between customers, product, and engineering\n\nHave the experience and confidence to push back on requests that don’t make sense for the platform\n\n4. Product Practice & Tooling\nYou improve how we go from scoping to shipping.\nUse AI tooling as your default working method - drafting specs, exploring edge cases, building domain context, and building prototypes\n\nContinuously refine how product work is defined and communicated to engineering\n\nStay pragmatic - improve flow and throughput, not add ceremony\n\nAutomate the parts of the job that can be automated\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nExperience & Capability\n3-5 years’ experience in product management or a technical product role\n\nBackground as a former software engineer preferred\n\nStartup or scale-up experience essential - comfortable moving fast without heavy process\n\nAble to speak credibly with engineers about APIs, data models, implementation tradeoffs, and migration complexity\n\nDemonstrated fluency using AI tools (Claude Code, Claude Projects, Cursor, V0) to do real product work - prototyping, scoping, spec writing - not just experimentation\n\nExcellent written communication - you can write clear specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering teams love\n\nMindset & Ways of Working\nHighly autonomous and comfortable scoping work independently\n\nStrong judgement and ability to prioritise ruthlessly\n\nBias toward execution over perfect definition\n\nExcited and motivated to leverage AI as a Product Manager\n\nComfortable with ambiguity and evolving requirements\n\nPractical, technically curious, and not afraid to get into the detail\n\nWhy Join Caruso?\nWork on complex enterprise product challenges across AU, NZ, and US regulatory environments\n\nOperate in a fast-moving start-up where PMs ship code, not just documents\n\nStay close to engineers, customers, and delivery every day\n\nUse AI-native tools to fundamentally change what a PM can contribute\n\nBenefits\nComprehensive health insurance with Southern Cross.\n\nFlexible work from home (WFH) arrangements. When in the office enjoy our premium office space with luxury fit-out and water views all within close proximity to Auckland's best bars and cafes.\n\nWorkstation package including Macbook Pro, dual screens, Apple peripherals, Airpod Pro noise-cancelling headphones.\n\n5 weeks annual leave after 2 years tenure, 6 weeks of annual leave after 3 years tenure.\n\nUnlimited sick leave.\n\nExtended parental leave.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4969,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Apple Macbook","Flexible schedule","Health insurance","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Custody & Fund Administration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-09T04:19:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.548,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":55,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["seen:55","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/caruso-product-manager-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/caruso-product-manager-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T18:00:44Z","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":25072,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":451492},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=451492"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcaruso-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%2Fcaruso-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%2Fcaruso-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/caruso-product-manager-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcaruso-product-manager-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":560793}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"getcaruso.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":560793},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
