ABOUT CAPCADE

Capcade is building the collaboration infrastructure for private markets. Fund managers, investors, and the service providers around them run their most important work across scattered tools and email threads. That work covers fundraising, due diligence, investor onboarding, post-close reporting, and structured-product programmes. We replace all of it with one secure, structured environment where people, documents, data, and tasks live in the same place.

The work our users do is high-stakes, data-heavy, and heavily regulated. They are executives at fund administrators, heads of investor relations, dealer desks at global banks, and procurement leaders at large institutions. When the product works well, billions move with more visibility and less risk.

We already have many of the best names in global finance on the platform, including hundreds of the Fortune 500. We are a team of around 50 people across seven jurisdictions. We are small enough that your work shows up the week you ship it, and the problems are real enough to keep the work hard and interesting.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS NOW

Capcade has a strong product and strong engineering. This is a senior, function-shaping role. You will own one of our product lines from end to end, agreed with the Head of Product based on your strengths and where the business needs you most. Alongside that, you will help shape how the team works, bringing a more AI-native, evidence-driven way of operating. You will have a real say over the roadmap and over how the product gets built. Much of what you take on will not be a blank page. You will inherit live product areas that already have customers and competing internal opinions. Your job is to form a sharp point of view quickly, decide what to double down on and what to retire, and turn current usage into real adoption.

This is not a role where you direct from a distance. You will do your own discovery, sit with customers, prototype workflows yourself, and stay close to the detail.

We are looking for someone with the judgement of a senior product leader who is still happy to roll up their sleeves, do the work, and put in the hours when it counts.

If you want a tidy scope where someone else does the customer work, this is not the right role.

If you want to help how a modern product team operates and have the autonomy to go and do it, keep reading.

This is a senior, function-shaping role with real autonomy.

You get genuine ownership of a product line. The autonomy is real, and it comes with one clear constraint: everything you build strengthens one coherent Capcade.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Own outcomes, not artifacts. Define the right problems with our customers, design solutions with design and engineering, and ship things that move real numbers such as activation, usability, and retention. Decide what success looks like before you build, and hold yourself to it afterwards.
• Stay close to customers. Build deep, ongoing relationships with fund managers, LPs, and operations teams. Understand their workflows better than they do.
• Run research to look and define real user problems. Talk to real users, run quick tests, and adjust. Treat research as a tool to define a single point of truth.
• Develop and maintain a strong understanding of how customers use the product, what creates measurable value, and where the product falls short, so the company can continuously improve its product strategy and execution.

HOW WE WILL MEASURE SUCCESS

This is what good looks like in your first six months:

• A clear, evidence-based direction for your product line: who the users are, what the data and workflows look like, the metrics that matter, and a defensible call on what comes first and what waits.
• At least one workflow measurably more adopted than it i
