About Daphne Daphne is building the data infrastructure powering the next generation of private-markets access. Our platform standardizes and distributes private-fund information across the global wealth-management and institutional ecosystem — connecting asset managers, administrators, and distribution platforms through a single source of truth. Private markets are becoming a mainstream asset class, yet data flows between fund managers, administrators, and distributors remain fragmented, manual, and opaque. Daphne solves this by creating a unified data model and connectivity layer that makes alternative funds as accessible, analyzable, and transparent as public funds. Our partners include leading global asset managers, private-markets administrators, and fintech distribution platforms who rely on Daphne to simplify how private-fund data is exchanged, validated, and consumed. The Opportunity We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead Daphne’s forward-deployed product teams — small, cross-functional units of product managers and engineers who work directly with clients to build, validate, and deploy solutions in real time. This is not a “requirements document” role. You’ll sit side-by-side with our clients — asset managers, administrators, and platforms — to deeply understand their data challenges, co-design solutions, and bring them to life. You’ll bridge the line between client problem-solving and scalable product development, ensuring that everything we build strengthens the Daphne platform. Key Responsibilities • Own the roadmap for a product or solution area, from concept through deployment., • Work directly with clients alongside engineers to identify high-impact problems and prototype solutions., • Translate client feedback and workflow insights into clear, scalable product requirements., • Collaborate with engineering to iterate quickly — designing, testing, and deploying new capabilities in production environments., • Define success metrics and measure adoption and value post-launch., • Contribute to product strategy and platform architecture, ensuring forward-deployed solutions enhance Daphne’s broader capabilities., • Champion Daphne’s forward-deployment model: drive a culture of speed, customer intimacy, and pragmatic product thinking. What You’ll Bring • 4–6 years of product management and/or customer facing experience, ideally within fintech, SaaS, or B2B data-platform startups., • Experience working closely with engineers and external clients, ideally in an implementation-heavy or solution-engineering context., • Strong technical fluency: comfortable discussing APIs, data models, and integration workflows., • Proven ability to operate end-to-end: discovery, design, delivery, and iteration., • Analytical and commercially oriented: able to balance customer needs with product scalability., • Self-directed, collaborative, and calm under pressure; you thrive where structure is still being built. Nice to Have • Knowledge of capital markets, fund operations, or alternative-investment data., • Experience in a forward-deployed engineering or product role (consulting, professional services, or enterprise solution delivery)., • Background in engineering, computer science, or a quantitative field., • Experience of client facing delivery in a consulting environment., • Prior experience in a startup or scale-up environment where priorities shift fast. Why Join Daphne • Impact: You’ll help build the connective tissue of the private-markets industry, working directly with the institutions shaping it., • Ownership: You’ll have end-to-end accountability for delivering solutions that directly influence industry standards., • Model: Daphne’s forward-deployment approach means you’ll see the entire lifecycle, from concept to live client usage, in weeks, not quarters., • Growth: Work with a world-class team of fintech, data, and infrastructure leaders reimagining private-markets access., • Flexibility: Hybrid work setup, competitive compensation, and meaningful equity participation. If you are a hands-on product manager who thrives at the intersection of client interaction, technical problem-solving, and product vision, Daphne offers a front-row seat to reshape how private-markets data moves across the world.
