Company mission
AlphaSense's mission is to organize the world’s business information and leverage technology to enable companies to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is not only capable of high-level product thinking but also willing to dig into the details – whether that means tightening a user story, refining a PRD, rolling up their sleeves to learn more about content or technology, or investigating edge cases others might overlook
- Bachelor's degree in a technical or quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience
- 2+ years of product management or related experience, ideally in a technical or platform-oriented environment
- Strong written communication skills, with an ability to document requirements and user scenarios clearly
- Demonstrated ability to self-direct and move work forward in ambiguous or fast-changing contexts
- Experience working with APIs, SQL, and technical teams; familiarity with Python is preferred
- Experience working with Financial Content Sets/Financial Data
- Comfortable managing tradeoffs, making data-informed decisions, and pushing for clarity when requirements are vague
- Familiarity with Agile practices and tools like JIRA, Asana, or similar
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail – particularly when defining edge cases or mapping out product logic
- Experience building 0–1 products or features is a plus
What the job involves
- The Content organization is responsible for identifying, creating, licensing and integrating best-in-class unstructured and structured data that is both self-sourced and from third party content providers
- The Content teams report to the Chief Content Officer and have strategy, product management, content operations and support responsibilities for each Content vertical
- We have been experiencing a rapid growth cycle across all content sets, including the Broker Research team. We value and uphold transparency, trust and accountability in our relationships within the team and with external and internal stakeholders
- We’re looking for an Associate Product Manager who’s deeply curious, self-motivated, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced work environment
- You’ll contribute to the development of new products and features on the AlphaSense platform, collaborating closely with engineering, design, and other cross-functional teams
- This is a hands-on role suited for someone who’s technical enough to work directly with APIs and data, and product-minded enough to advocate for the user and shape strategy
- Partner with engineering, design, and business stakeholders to define and deliver new features and product offerings
- Write clear, detailed product specs and user stories, with attention to both the smallest of details and broader context
- Work directly with APIs to understand system behavior and inform product decisions (Python a plus)
- Apply Agile methodologies to manage the product development lifecycle from concept to launch
- Conduct user research, analyze data, and synthesize insights to guide product priorities
- Define and maintain the product roadmap and backlog in close collaboration with stakeholders
- Monitor product performance, identify areas for improvement, and propose solutions based on evidence
Our take
Manual research can be a serious pain : financial analysts spend hours every week searching through PDFs one keyword at a time, just to find a single usable insight. To remedy this, AlphaSense has built a smart search engine that slashes research time for analysts, using thousands of sources and a semantic indexing layer that can effectively query finance-specific language.
As a disruptor and market leader in this field AlphaSense has few direct competitors, being most closely compared to Wolfram Alpha or LexisNexis. It helps that its tools are undoubtedly effective and valued by knowledge professionals: the company counts about 85% of the S&P 100 as customers and is trusted by J.P.Morgan, Microsoft, Credit Suisse and Google, among other major enterprises.
Having raised a large amount of funding over 2022 and 2023, AlphaSense has moved quickly to double down on its expansion in European markets, opening an office in Berlin to support this. With 2024 seeing investment from Singaporean EDBI, it is now setting its sights on the Asia-Pacific region. As business intelligence will remain key for enterprises as they compete for market share, AlphaSense is well-placed for additional future growth.
