About the Role

iCapital Labs is a relatively new innovation lab within iCapital.  Its primary mission is to ensure that iCapital is evaluating and adopting emerging technologies and methods to advance strategic business initiatives.  The primary mechanism to accomplish this mission is through rapid prototyping and the execution of POCs or research projects where we explore and analyze new technologies, methods, capabilities, limitations, technical risks, and compatibility with the ICN ecosystem.   In some cases we will take those POCs to production.

We are looking to hire a dynamic, self-motivated, and energetic product manager who will work with strategists and software engineers within the lab to transform ideas into projects and successfully deliver those projects in line with the lab’s mission.  The ideal candidate should be deeply interested in learning about new areas of technology and business and very comfortable operating at a detailed level.  As iCapital Labs is a new team within the firm, we are also looking for an individual who can help shape the culture and help develop the working model within the lab.

This is a great opportunity to work across a broad set of business areas and technologies to deliver prototype solutions in a face paced and fun environment with the goal of offering the most innovative products and services to our clients.

• Strong problem-solving skills and analytic skills; strategic mindset
