Sobre este puesto de Product Manager - Finance en Samaya AI
Role
As one of Samaya's Finance Product Managers, you'll own the domain strategy that helps investment professionals find actionable insights in vast, noisy datasets. You'll be the bridge between our Product, ML Research, and Engineering teams: defining real-world financial workflows, curating evaluation datasets, and validating AI outputs in live client pilots. Your expertise will directly shape the platform's capabilities in valuation, modeling, and due diligence.
This is a hands-on role for someone who already knows finance deeply and wants to shape how AI does that work, rather than advise on it from a distance. Your financial judgment sets the standard the product is held to, and you should expect to be in the detail day to day, in a fast-moving startup where the playbook is still being written.
Responsibilities
Product & Domain
- Translate financial workflows — turn investment banking, private equity, buy-side, and sell-side research workflows into product requirements and success metrics
- Author playbooks — codify best practices for AI-assisted financial analysis
- Surface insights — bring high-signal findings back to inform roadmap priorities
Evaluation & Pilots
- Build the evals — design proprietary benchmarks, test suites, and datasets for model evaluation
- Partner with ML Research — work with researchers to refine models, shape prompt strategies, and validate outputs against expert standards
- Run client pilots — co-pilot pilots with leading financial institutions, gather feedback, and iterate fast
- Work in the detail — grade answers and audit agent execution traces; getting models to do expert financial work involves a lot that looks like associate-level work
Experience
Required
- Institutional Finance Background — 3+ years at a top-tier investment bank, hedge fund, asset manager, or buy-side/sell-side research team (equity research included)
- Deep finance expertise — strong command of one or more of financial modeling, valuation, capital markets research, and deal execution
- Translates ambiguity — proven ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear requirements and measurable outcomes
- Exceptional communicator — clear written and verbal communication with senior stakeholders
- Genuine AI fluency — you use AI in your work concretely, not just in passing
Preferred
- Technical fluency — hands-on scripting in Python or SQL for data analysis
- Both sides of research — exposure to both sell-side and buy-side research models
- Startup exposure — prior experience at a fast-growing fintech or AI startup

Our Operating Principles
Put Users first. Our users rely on us to do their jobs. We exist because our users trust us to help them achieve their goals. In return for this trust users place in us, we keep their needs as our top priority.
Win as a collective. We are high achievers with a drive to succeed. We build strong bonds over this shared drive. We dive in to help when one of us needs it. We’re kind to each other and boost each other to succeed and grow professionally and personally. We build trust with each other by making commitments and consistently delivering on them. This trust means we genuinely support each other, embracing feedback as a tool for growth and improvement. We win by operating this way, as one team.
Focus and iterate quickly. Bias for action makes us build and learn quickly. Iterating fast requires clarity on what outcomes we are targeting and why. Prioritizing the important things, taking full ownership and initiative, making fast initial progress, and rapid iterations lead to the best outcomes.
Innovate Relentlessly. We pursue novel insights, challenging the status quo and reimagining how things are done. We aren’t attached to the past when improving our product and how we work in the future. We actively invest time in innovation, thinking “outside the box” to consistently raise our standards.
Prioritize Outcomes over Egos. We are committed not to a person, an idea, or an opinion but to continuously making progress to our goals. Sometimes, our goals are ambiguous; in those moments, we iterate, learn, and move on to the next inquiry. We ask the tough questions with kindness, dropping our egos in our pursuit of evidence. For our business goals, we learn from our users. For our scientific goals, our understanding is built through rigorous experimentation, research, and observation. For our personal goals, we embrace candid feedback and collaborative learning to guide our progress.
