The team owns the shared platform every other product team at CAIS builds on: including identity and access management (IAM), learning management, the homepage, and our public website. In identity, that means enterprise authentication, the tools clients use to manage their firms, users, and permissions, and the regulatory workflows that keep our user base accurate, secure, and auditable. This is foundational, high-leverage product work. When the platform is healthy, every product team moves faster.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":160}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">You will set product direction for a small, high-surface-area crew, working in close partnership with engineering leadership to sequence our backlog against capacity. You will also serve as the connective tissue between Core and the many squads that depend on its services — Capital Markets, Funds, Marketing, Sales, and Data among them — making clear calls on where a shared mechanism ends and a consuming team's own implementation begins. AI is central to how we work and what we build. We expect this person to experiment with and use AI tools every day to drive product outcomes, from research and requirements to prioritization and measuring results.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":160}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">Key Responsibilities</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":320,"335559739":120}"> </span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Own product direction for Core Platform: IAM, Access Manager, firm/user/role/team administration, enterprise authentication (SSO, MFA), content & learning management systems, and the shared frameworks and services other squads depend on.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Drive platform modernization: self-service firm administration, bulk user management, new ways of handling user authentication in the age of AI, and other client needs — updating one of the platform’s most-used interfaces.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Own the enterprise authentication roadmap: reliable firm-context resolution for multi-firm and dually-registered advisors, SSO migrations, and login/session experience.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Partner with Compliance and Legal on identity-integrity and regulatory workflows.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Set direction for CAIS IQ platform modernization (the firm's learning/compliance education product).</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Evaluate emerging initiatives and bring leadership a clear, evidence-based build/no-build recommendation.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Bring hands-on, consistent product engagement to the crew's day-to-day: standard organization practices, backlog refinement, and prioritization.
