The posting, as Obin Ai wrote it
Build the AI workforce that finance can actually trust.
We are closing the gap between what AI promises and what regulated institutions can responsibly deploy.
If you fall in love with hard problems — not easy answers — this is where your work matters.
The Role
We're hiring for the role of Head of Product to own product strategy and execution across Obin's platform. This is a builder's role: you'll be deeply hands-on — partnering with engineering to ship AI-driven workflows, working directly with our domain SME network to translate institutional-finance expertise into product logic, and engaging PE, insurance, and private-credit customers to ensure what we build actually gets adopted in production, regulated environments. As we grow, you'll build and lead the product organization.
What You'll Do
- Own product strategy and roadmap for Obin's platform, connecting a compelling, well-founded strategy to company-level growth — not just a bucketed list of feature requests.
- Go deep with customers (PE operations teams, insurance claims/carrier ops, private-credit fund administrators) to build a first-hand, evidence-backed understanding of their workflows, pain points, and what "good" looks like — beyond what's asked for in sales calls.
- Partner closely with Engineering** on technical trade-offs inherent to an AI-native product: model selection and evaluation, human-in-the-loop design, data/reference-data architecture, and where automation should (and shouldn't) replace expert judgment.
- Translate domain SME expertise into product**, working with Obin's network of senior asset-servicing, claims, and valuation specialists to encode their judgment into configuration, workflows, and baseline solutions.
- Operationalize strategy into shippable increments**, setting objectives that cascade to the team level, running a tight build-measure-learn loop, and adapting the roadmap as you learn — without losing coherence across the platform.
- Build and lead the product function** as Obin scales — hire, coach, and develop product managers; stand up the product operating model appropriate to our stage (not a big-company process overlay on a startup team).
- Operate as a business leader**, not just a product manager: understand our unit economics, what drives revenue and margin in our segments, and how product decisions affect them; represent product in front of customers, investors, and the leadership team.
Must-Haves
- 10+ years in product management, including 3+ years directly managing PMs**, with a track record of owning and shipping products that customers demonstrably love (not just shipped — adopted, renewed, expanded).
- Deep domain fluency in at least one of: private equity/asset-management operations, insurance (P&C) claims, or private credit/fund administration** — enough to challenge and validate SME input, not just relay it.
- Genuine technical fluency**: comfortable driving trade-offs on AI/ML-driven products, partners with engineering as

first hire to a multi-PM team, including hiring and developing PM talent who went on to succeed elsewhere.
- CFA, FRM, or other financial-services credential, or direct prior operating experience inside a PE firm, insurance carrier, or credit fund.
- Track record of operating close to the C-suite (as a direct report to a CEO/President, or representing the entire product function to the board/investors).
- Experience with regulated or compliance-sensitive enterprise software, where auditability and controls are first-class product requirements.
- Network within institutional finance operations, technology, or the AI-in-financial-services ecosystem.
