Staff Product Manager, Files Platform

About the role

The Role 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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 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
• Data-driven and impact-oriented
• A strong systems thinker comfortable with technically complex products involving APIs, permissioning, metadata, search, migrations, integrations, and data models
• 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
• 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

Qualifications

• BS/BA degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field
• Experience with enterprise content management systems and/or document management systems
• Experience with API development and integration
• Experience with data modeling and metadata management
• Experience with search and indexing technologies
• Experience with workflow automation and document processing
• Experience with user interface design and usability principles
• Experience with project management methodologies and tools

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Experience with agile methodologies and tools
• Experience with data visualization tools
