Overview

JAB Institutional is building a wealth platform for households with $500,000 to $2 million in investable assets, a segment that digital-only advice and traditional firms both leave underserved. The build pairs centralized client acquisition and AI-enabled planning with a product shelf covering investments, guaranteed lifetime income, protection, and lending, all delivered through financial advisors. Launch comes in late 2026, the first advisors arrive in 2027, and an engagement platform partner is already at work on the initial build. As the platform's first dedicated product hire, you own the layers JAB keeps in-house: the client and advisor experience plus the household data, analytics, and AI foundation beneath it.

What You'll Do7

Turn the North Star vision from senior leadership into client and advisor journeys, feature requirements, and acceptance criteria for each component.
Own the details of every interaction, from flows and screens to wording and edge cases, and hold both the client side and the advisor side to a high bar.
Run the backlog and roadmap, ranking competing demands against pilot data, advisor feedback, and platform unit economics.
Work side by side with the technology partners behind each component on feature delivery, configuration, testing, and release quality.
Close the feedback loop, folding advisor and client input into prioritized releases.
Instrument the client funnel so conversion and unit economics read straight from platform data.
Partner with legal and compliance so client-facing features, communications, and data handling meet regulatory requirements.

Requirements9

Ten or more years in product management, with genuine weight on both the business and the technical side.
Comfort in commercial conversations with vendors and in technical conversations about APIs and data.
A record of building on or integrating third-party platforms, not only in-house software.
Judgment to decide what gets built, what gets configured, and what waits.
End-to-end ownership in an early-stage setting where priorities move.
Attention to the small details that separate a good user experience from an outstanding one.
Analytical fluency across funnel metrics, experiment design, and hands-on work with large data sets.
Wealth management or fintech experience.
Based in New York City.

Who Should Apply

Product leaders with a decade or more in wealth management or fintech who can hold a commercial conversation with a vendor and a technical one about APIs, then turn around and sweat the wording on a screen. The role suits someone who has integrated third-party platforms and wants end-to-end ownership of a platform's first build.

Salary Insight

$110 to $125 per hour on a freelance engagement, which sits in line with senior, contract-based product leadership work in New York fintech. The posting notes possible conversion to a full-time hire, so final terms come up in conversation.
