Senior Product Leader – Accounting and Credit Fund Administration

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the product vision, long-term roadmap, and quarterly focus areas for fund accounting, waterfall and carry calculations, NAV production, fee calculations, investor reporting, and regulatory compliance (GAAP/IFRS/ILPA) for private credit vehicles.

• Lead strategic decisions regarding build/buy/partner approaches across proprietary platforms and vendor ecosystems (e.g., general ledger, portfolio accounting systems, data hubs), ensuring seamless integration, comprehensive data lineage, full auditability, and consolidation where suitable.

• Convert intricate regulatory and client requirements (such as fair value measurement, impairment analysis, consolidation, ILPA guidelines, and ESG reporting) into clear product specifications, well-prioritized backlog items, and detailed acceptance criteria.

• Collaborate with Technology, Data, and Operations teams to create scalable, automated workflows for period close, valuations, allocations, and reconciliations that minimize cycle times and enhance straight-through processing (STP).

• Oversee vendor governance and management, including RFPs, vendor scorecards, release management, and SLA monitoring; ensure effective change management, training initiatives, and comprehensive documentation for global teams.

• Advocate for data quality and analytics enablement by defining golden data sources, establishing key metrics, and facilitating dashboard capabilities that support faster management reporting and improved investor transparency.

• Function as a general manager-style product owner with clear accountability for outcomes, budget management, P&L awareness, and the ability to foster trust and credibility with senior stakeholders across the organization.

• Manage quarterly planning cycles and establish OKRs, aligning product roadmaps with business strategy, tracking progress against commitments, and communicating results to executive sponsors and leadership.

• Implement data-driven prioritization frameworks (ROI analysis, risk reduction, SLA impact, client NPS) and maintain transparent, well-organized product backlogs that reflect strategic priorities and operational realities.

• Promote controls-by-design, security, and operational resilience in every product decision, ensuring that risk management, compliance, and business continuity are integral to the product lifecycle.
