Requires demonstrable experience leading digital products through their full lifecycle, specifically within research-driven or complex environments. Must be proficient in Agile methodologies and possess strong stakeholder management and communication skills.

This is an opportunity to work across research, policy and standards while partnering with engineering and business leaders to deliver products that advance CFA Institute's mission.
Partner with research, policy and business stakeholders to understand strategic objectives and translate them into clear product requirements.
Own and maintain product roadmaps, ensuring priorities align with business needs and long-term strategy.
Act as the bridge between business and engineering teams, communicating priorities, timelines and expected outcomes.
Lead product delivery from discovery through implementation using Agile product management practices.
Create and manage product requirements, user stories and supporting documentation.
Ensure products are delivered against agreed objectives, timelines and performance expectations.
Drive continuous improvement by measuring product performance and refining priorities based on insights.
Explore opportunities to leverage AI tools to improve product management processes, documentation and decision-making.
Support digital products across the Research & Policy Center portfolio, including elements of the Codes and Standards product portfolio.
Provide leadership across projects, with the opportunity to oversee contractors supporting key initiatives and potentially grow into future people leadership responsibilities.
Demonstrable experience leading digital products through the full product lifecycle within a product management environment.
Experience working with research-focused organisations, research products, or complex research-driven environments.
Proven ability to translate business problems into clear product requirements and work effectively between business stakeholders and engineering teams.
Strong product roadmap ownership and prioritisation experience.
Experience applying Agile methodologies, including backlog management, user stories and iterative delivery.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across cross-functional teams.
Experience delivering complex digital platforms or applications.
An analytical mindset with the ability to understand user needs and define measurable product outcomes.
Interest in applying AI tools and emerging technologies within product management.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Help shape digital products that support globally recognised research, policy and professional standards.
Influence product strategy across a growing portfolio with significant visibility across the organisation.
Work closely with research, engineering and business leaders on meaningful, mission-driven initiatives.
Play a key role in expanding the use of AI and modern product practices across the portfolio.
Join a flexible, largely remote team with opportunities for in-person collaboration when needed.
