Funding it is painful. Administering it takes constant coordination among attorneys, advisors, accountants, custodians, beneficiaries, and trustees. Clients rarely know what is happening, and the professionals around them spend their days moving information between systems that don't talk to each other.\n\nWhat we're building\nSava is a Nevada-chartered trust company we wish existed. We pair experienced fiduciaries with an AI-native platform that reads trust documents, coordinates the work, monitors obligations, and gives families and their advisors a clear view of what's happening.\n\nWe are backed by Y Combinator, Gradient Ventures, SV Angel and some of the best investors with a $10 million seed round. We are actively onboarding new clients now. You would be our first Product Manager.\n\nThe founders\n\nNimit Maru, CEO. A repeat YC founder who has built and sold two companies. He co-founded and led Fullstack Academy, one of the country's leading coding education businesses, and co-founded Bloomspot, which JPMorgan Chase acquired.\n\nRush Sadiwala, COO. A repeat founder and former investor who has built technology businesses across commerce, media, and AI.\n\nWhy this is an unusual product job\n\nThe product is the institution. We are the trustee, with legal responsibility for assets that may stay in trust for generations. What you ship is how a regulated financial institution operates day to day.\n\nAI with real stakes. Our software reads legal documents and acts on them, and a mistake is a fiduciary problem. You will decide where automation runs, where a trust officer signs off, and how every decision leaves an audit trail.\n\nThree audiences at once. Families usually reach us through their estate attorneys and wealth advisors. The product has to earn the confidence of all three, plus the trust officers who work in it all day.\n\nA blank page. There is no product org above you and no roadmap handed down. You will build Sava's product function from scratch.\n\nThe role\nYou will spend most of your week with clients, trust officers, attorneys, wealth advisors, and engineers, turning exception-heavy fiduciary processes into software that feels simple and fast.\n\nYou will own product from discovery through launch and adoption, across the full life of a trust: onboarding, trust acceptance, document intelligence, funding, advisor collaboration, ongoing administration, and monitoring. We have more good ideas than engineering capacity, so much of the job is deciding what waits.\n\nYou will work directly with both founders, our founding engineers, and our Head of Trusts.\n\nYour first 90 days\n\nSit in on every client onboarding and shadow our trust team until you deeply understand how a signed document goes to a funded account on Sava\n\nTake over the roadmap and make the tradeoffs explicit to the team\n\nRegularly talk to our customers and stakeholders to understand what the roadmap is missing and what needs to be cut\n\nShip improvements to the path from signed trust to funded account, where clients and their attorneys feel the most friction\n\nSet the few numbers we run the product on, starting with time to fund and cost to administer a trust\n\nWho you are\n\n3 to 8 years in product, with at least one complex product taken from zero to launch\n\nYou are looking for a founding role with direct influence over product and company strategy, and daily access to customers, founders, and decision-makers.\n\nTechnical enough to work through data models, APIs, integrations, permissions, and AI system behavior with engineers\n\nAlready using AI and prototyping tools to make ideas concrete, with something you built that you can show us\n\nAt ease moving between a client call, an operations problem, and an engineering tradeoff in the same afternoon\n\nA clear writer and a clear speaker\n\nIn New York City, working in person with the team\n\nExperience in fintech, wealth management, banking, insurance, legal technology, document intelligence, or workflow automation helps. We will consider strong candidates without it.\n\nThis is probably the wrong role if\n\nYou avoid customer conversations\n\nYou need a large team or an established process before you can ship\n\nYou treat operations as someone else's problem","description_format":"text","description_chars":4429,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Legal Services","Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T20:49:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":36,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.777,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":28,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["seen:28","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sava-founding-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sava-founding-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T09:03:34Z","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":18311,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":4481618},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4481618"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsava-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Fsava-founding-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fsava-founding-product-manager"},{"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/sava-founding-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsava-founding-product-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2474177}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"savatrustcompany.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2474177},"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.
