Staff Product Manager - Files Platform

What You’ll Do

We are seeking a Staff Product Manager to lead Addepar’s Files Platform .

Files touch nearly every workflow at Addepar: client reporting, alternatives document lineage, collaboration with external parties like tax advisors, and audit trails for sophisticated global firms. As we serve more large RIAs, family offices, banks, and alternatives-heavy institutions, how we manage documents becomes a core differentiator for client trust and platform value.

We're replatforming our file management experience onto an enterprise content partner (Box), creating a foundation for stronger search, metadata, permissions, sharing, and workflow capabilities. This role owns what comes next: taking that foundation and turning it into an intelligent document workflow layer that serves clients, internal teams, and downstream product surfaces.

On the platform side, you'll shape commercial and technical strategy around a major partner integration, deciding where Addepar should leverage vendor capabilities versus where we build differentiated product, workflow, and API surfaces. On the intelligence side, you'll define how capabilities like document summarization, auto-classification, content-based search, and workflow automation can make file management meaningfully smarter for enterprise users while maintaining the auditability and permissioning controls they require.

You'll own product strategy and execution across migration completion, platform buildout, and roadmap definition. This is a cross-functional role that requires aligning engineering, design, security, legal, and client-facing teams around a shared vision for how files work at Addepar.

• Own product strategy end-to-end for the Files Platform, from migration completion through next-generation search, metadata, sharing, workflow, and API capabilities
• Drive product discovery across user groups (advisors, operations, end clients, API consumers, internal teams) and translate findings into a prioritized roadmap
• Align multiple product and engineering teams around a unified Files vision, building a true platform that delivers value across Addepar solutions including reporting, Portal, Alternatives, ADM, and more.
• Own the roadmap for a substantial product area , balancing migration / parity work, urgent client needs, platform foundations, technical dependencies, compliance requirements, partner capabilities, and longer-term strategic opportunities.
• Deliver a modern files experience with improvements to file search, filtering, sharing, metadata organization, and high-volume upload/download workflows
• Make build-vs-partner decisions , determining where Addepar should leverage our content platform partner versus where we need differentiated product, workflow, or data capabilities
• Abstract common document workflow needs from downstream teams (reporting, Portal, Alternatives, ADM) into reusable platform capabilities that accelerate product velocity across Addepar
• Build intelligent document capabilities like summarization, auto-classification, content-based search, and workflow automation with appropriate enterprise controls around permissioning and auditability
• Own migration and adoption outcomes , ensuring clients move to the new platform with minimal disruption and clear value unlocks
• Define success metrics (adoption, search effectiveness, API usage, migration progress, support volume, client satisfaction) and communicate progress to leadership
• Influence senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Design, Security, Legal, Operations, and Client Success, making tradeoffs across user needs, technical constraints, compliance, and commercial value

Who You Are

• 7+ years of Product Management experience , or equivalent industry / subject matter expertise in fintech, SaaS, enterprise software, data platforms, workflow products, document management, collaboration tools, or infrastructure-heavy product areas.
• A track record of owning product strategy and execution end-to-end, from discovery through launch, adoption, and measurable outcomes. You are data-driven and impact-oriented.

• A clear and persuasive communicator; you simplify complexity and build alignment across product, engineering, design, security, legal, and go-to-market
• Deeply customer- and workflow-oriented , with empathy for the full range of users who depend on files: advisors, end clients, operations teams, API consumers, and external collaborators like tax advisors and auditors
• Ability to make sound build-vs-buy/partner decisions and articulate the tradeoffs to a diverse range of internal stakeholders
• Commercially thoughtful , with the ability to connect Files Platform investments to client adoption, retention, expansion, operational efficiency, partner strategy, and future monetization opportunities.
• Interested in the future of intelligent document workflows, including how AI , metadata, search, classification, summarization, and workflow automation can make enterprise file systems more useful, secure, and actionable.
• Thrives in complex, high-ownership environments where the work involves both near-term execution and long-term platform strategy across multiple teams and stakeholder groups.
