Job Description


CEPRES

is a leading and fast-growing digital investment platform for private capital markets—an asset class that has become increasingly important in global portfolios of sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, pension plans, and other institutional investors. Our clients use CEPRES to manage, analyze, and benchmark their private market investments, while the platform connects thousands of professionals through one of the world’s largest private investment networks.


CEPRES

GmbH / Corp

is headquartered in Munich and New York, with additional offices in Denver, Chicago, London, Heidelberg, Singapore, and several locations in the Middle East. Our team is diverse, representing 20+ nationalities globally. We value smart, innovative people who work effectively in a team environment and thrive in an international setting.


About the Role:


We are seeking a “Director of Product Management” to own and drive the Portfolio Monitoring
product area. This is a customer-facing leadership role: you will work directly
with large, sophisticated institutional clients who have complex customization,
configuration, and integration requirements. You will define the product vision
and roadmap for portfolio monitoring, translate client needs into scalable
product capabilities, and collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Success, and
Engineering to deliver solutions that win and retain enterprise accounts.


The ideal candidate comes from a
B2B enterprise software background in the private markets, alternative
investments, or financial data space, and has direct experience managing
products where client-specific configuration and white-glove engagement are central
to the value proposition.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Own the product
    vision, strategy, and 12-month roadmap for the Portfolio Monitoring product
    area, aligning with CEPRES’ overall business objectives and market
    opportunities.

  • Participate in
    the annual strategic planning process alongside business unit leadership,
    bringing market intelligence, competitive analysis, and technology feasibility
    input so that commercial priorities are defined with full product and market
    context.

  • Own systematic
    market and competitive intelligence as an ongoing function: maintain a
    structured view of competitor capabilities, market trends, and client needs
    rather than relying on anecdotal feedback from individual sales conversations,
    and use this to inform roadmap prioritization and product strategy.

  • Serve as the
    primary product voice in client-facing engagements: participate in sales
    cycles, lead product demonstrations, run discovery workshops, and manage
    solution scoping for enterprise prospects and existing accounts.

  • Translate
    large-scale customization and configuration requests from institutional clients
    into scalable, repeatable product capabilities that serve the broader
    market.

  • Partner with
    Sales and Customer Success to develop account-specific solution strategies,
    ensuring product capabilities align with client requirements and contractual
    commitments.

  • Oversee
    multiple agile squads delivering portfolio monitoring features, ensuring
    coordinated execution, effective cross-team collaboration, and continuous
    improvement in product delivery.

  • Champion
    product positioning and go-to-market strategy by collaborating with Marketing
    to develop pricing, positioning, and messaging that differentiates CEPRES in
    the private market’s software space.

  • Build and
    manage relationships with strategic partners, data providers, and technology
    vendors to enhance the product ecosystem.

  • Mentor and
    develop the product management team, fostering a culture of client empathy,
    analytical rigor, and continuous learning.

  • Monitor product
    performance, adoption metrics, and client satisfaction to inform strategic
    decision-making and prioritization.


Requirements


  • 10+ years of
    experience in product management within B2B enterprise software, with at least
    5 years in a customer-facing product role serving large, sophisticated
    clients.

  • Direct
    experience in the private markets, alternative investments, asset management,
    or financial data/technology sector.

  • Proven track
    record of managing products that require significant client-specific
    customization, configuration, or implementation, while maintaining a scalable
    product architecture.

  • Strong B2B
    sales environment experience: comfortable participating in RFPs, prospect
    demos, solution scoping, and commercial negotiations alongside Sales
    teams.

  • Deep expertise
    in agile methodologies, strategic roadmap development, and cross-functional
    team leadership.

  • Excellent
    communication skills with the ability to engage credibly with C-level
    executives, portfolio managers, and operations teams at institutional
    investors.

  • Experience with
    product positioning, GTM strategy development, and driving successful market
    launches in enterprise software.

  • In-depth
    knowledge of portfolio monitoring workflows, including fund accounting,
    performance measurement (IRR, TVPI, DPI), cash flow management, and investor
    reporting.

  • Demonstrated
    success in mentoring product teams and driving organizational growth.

  • Ability to
    document and articulate complex product requirements, user stories, and process
    improvements clearly and effectively.


Preferred Qualifications:


  • Experience at a
    private market software vendor.

  • Exposure to
    advanced analytics, AI/machine learning technologies, and quantitative modeling
    techniques as applied to private market portfolio data.

  • MBA or advanced
    degree in finance, economics, or related quantitative discipline.

  • Familiarity
    with product management tools such as Jira, Confluence, Product board, or
    similar platforms.

  • Fluency in
    English required; German or additional European languages a strong plus.

  • A proactive,
    entrepreneurial mindset with a strong desire to innovate in a fast-paced,
    scaling environment.


Join CEPRES to lead our Portfolio
Monitoring product area, work directly with the world’s most sophisticated
private market investors, and build the software platform that powers their
investment decisions.
