Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As the Director of Product Management for the AI Generation Engine (SAIGE), you will lead product strategy and execution for SandboxAQ’s mission to deliver Deep Impact at Scale through quantitative AI, with a focus on transforming finance and insurance industries using Large Quantitative Models (LQMs).
• You will own the product vision and roadmap for Finance & Risk Modeling, partner with financial services and insurance customers to understand their workflows and risk models, and translate complex quantitative problems into clear product requirements while defining success metrics to demonstrate differentiated value.
• You will drive rapid prototyping and 0→1 innovation by identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing new AI/LQM use cases, leading product discovery through hypothesis development and lightweight customer validation, and scoping meaningful experiments with engineering and research teams to answer key questions quickly.
• You will build strong customer and stakeholder relationships by serving as a trusted product partner to senior stakeholders such as heads of risk, portfolio managers, and CROs, leading conversations from discovery through pilot adoption, and communicating progress and recommendations clearly to internal and external audiences.
• You will operate in a highly ambiguous, fast-changing environment, providing clarity on priorities, making pragmatic trade-offs, and ensuring the team ships impactful prototypes and products aligned with SAIGE’s principles: Prototype with Velocity, Explore Boldly, Fail Smart, Learn Fast, Look Forward, and Share Knowledge.
• You will collaborate closely with UXR, design, engineering, research, and business teams, leveraging your ability to translate between technical details and customer/business value while driving execution without heavy process or structure.
• You will grow your expertise in quantitative AI, financial risk modeling, and AI product incubation at the forefront of innovation, working with a multidisciplinary team of experts in AI, chemistry, cybersecurity, physics, mathematics, medicine, and engineering to tackle epic global challenges.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience, with substantial time spent on complex B2B or platform products and several years at a senior/staff/principal/director level (L7-equivalent scope).
• Experience in financial services and/or insurance, particularly in risk modeling (portfolio risk, capital modeling, asset-liability management, market/credit risk, or insurance risk), financial simulation, scenario analysis, or portfolio analytics and decision support tools.
• Demonstrated ability to work closely with quantitative and engineering teams, including comfort discussing models, data pipelines, and trade-offs, and translating technical details into customer and business value.
• Proven track record of 0→1 product work: identifying new opportunities, shaping them from idea to prototype and early product, and navigating high ambiguity, incomplete information, and changing constraints.
• Strong ruthless prioritization skills: defining clear frameworks, making hard trade-offs, and saying “no” to good ideas to focus on the highest-impact opportunities.
• Exceptional customer-facing skills: confidently leading discovery and roadmap conversations with senior stakeholders, uncovering real needs behind stated requirements, and pressure-testing problem statements.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary, performance-based incentives or bonuses, and equity participation.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents with generous employer premium contributions.
• Retirement savings with company matching, paid parental leave, and inclusive family-building benefits.
• Flexible paid time off, company-wide seasonal breaks, and support for flexible work arrangements to enable sustainable performance.
• Opportunities for continuous learning and growth through on-the-job development, cross-functional collaboration, and access to internal learning and development programs.
