Principal Manager, Product Management (Comply Tech)

We are seeking an enthusiastic, analytical, and resourceful product manager to join our Investment Services Technology team, partnering closely with the Compliance team, based in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, or Gurugram. This team delivers technology solutions that support critical firm functions and regulatory obligations. The role offers an inclusive and dynamic environment, with a focus on improving technology for efficiency, control, and scalability. The ideal candidate will bring exceptional product management fundamentals, experience in process optimization and workflow automation, and the judgment to operate effectively in a highly regulated and confidential environment with diverse stakeholders.

Responsibilities:
You will work closely with the Compliance team and technology partners to assess, design, and deliver technology solutions that strengthen and scale the firm's compliance operations across a broad range of functional areas, including pre-trade compliance and trade-restriction management, position-limit monitoring, trade surveillance, and regulatory and transaction reporting. You will also serve as a senior point of coordination for initiatives focused on compliance technology transformation, evaluating build-versus-buy decisions, replacing legacy and vendor systems with scalable in-house platforms, and developing AI- and data-enabled tools for monitoring, detection, and reporting. Additionally, you will lead requirements gathering and prioritization across diverse stakeholder groups, define product visions and roadmaps, and identify opportunities to automate workflows, improve data integrity, and enhance operational resilience. You will balance near-term regulatory and operational needs with long-term strategic and architectural objectives while building scalable infrastructure in areas with limited existing technology.
