About the Role
iCapital Labs is a relatively new innovation lab within iCapital. Its primary mission is to ensure that iCapital is evaluating and adopting emerging technologies and methods to advance strategic business initiatives. The primary mechanism to accomplish this mission is through rapid prototyping and the execution of POCs or research projects where we explore and analyze new technologies, methods, capabilities, limitations, technical risks, and compatibility with the ICN ecosystem. In some cases we will take those POCs to production.
We are looking to hire a dynamic, self-motivated, and energetic product manager who will work with strategists and software engineers within the lab to transform ideas into projects and successfully deliver those projects in line with the lab’s mission. The ideal candidate should be deeply interested in learning about new areas of technology and business and very comfortable operating at a detailed level. As iCapital Labs is a new team within the firm, we are also looking for an individual who can help shape the culture and help develop the working model within the lab.
This is a great opportunity to work across a broad set of business areas and technologies to deliver prototype solutions in a fast-paced and fun environment with the goal of offering the most innovative products and services to our clients.
Responsibilities
- Work with iCapital Lab strategists and software engineers to plan, design, and execute projects. Our primary focus right now is building out a new data privacy architecture and we expect to spend significant time on this project in the next six months.
- Meet with key stakeholders to understand critical business requirements and broader organizational impact.
- Communicate project status and goals across a broad swath of the organization at all levels of seniority.
- Develop a good understanding of our business to help make more informed decisions about strategy and ideas.

- Contribute to the overall company mission and culture.
Qualifications
- 5 – 15 years of professional experience across business analysis, engineering, or finance. Financial technology background strongly preferred.
- Ability to work in a dynamic and fast-paced environment across multiple levels of our organization.
- Proven experience managing multiple aspects of a project lifecycle with particular interest in areas that are relevant to the successful delivery of POCs – producing streamlined business requirements, writing technical specs, testing software, and managing interaction with internal business stakeholders.
- Technical background and good understanding of technical concepts. Comfort with SQL, data modeling, and all aspects of the software development lifecycle.
- Strong problem-solving skills and analytic skills; strategic mindset.
- Demonstrated track record of independently delivering successful projects.
Employees in this role will work fully remote. Every department has different needs, and some positions will be designated in-office jobs, based on their function.
iCapital offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes a total compensation program consisting of competitive salary, annual performance bonus, and equity for all full-time employees; healthcare with 100% employer-paid health and dental insurance; and generous paid time off (PTO).
