Your Team Responsibilities

MSCI is seeking an entrepreneurial, high-agency Product Manager to join Total Portfolio Solutions and help define the future of portfolio management technology for asset owners.
Total Portfolio Solutions is focused on enabling investors to build and manage public and private market portfolios through a single, integrated platform. The platform will support critical investment capabilities including performance measurement, risk management, attribution, asset allocation, portfolio construction, exposure analysis, reporting, and related analytics.
The Product Manager will work directly with clients and senior stakeholders to understand their investment processes, identify unmet needs, define product strategy and priorities, and translate those insights into a differentiated product roadmap. This individual will play a central role in executing that roadmap in partnership with Engineering, Research, Data, Implementation, Sales, and other teams across MSCI.
The ideal candidate will bring strong institutional investment expertise, commercial judgment, and a demonstrated ability to operate with ownership and autonomy.

  • Participate in product governance and prioritization forums, clearly communicating investment cases, dependencies, risks, and expected outcomes.
  • Monitor development progress, remove obstacles, and maintain accountability for delivering high-quality products and client experiences.
  • Develop go-to-market plans for new products and features, including positioning, packaging, pricing, sales enablement, training, and client communications.
  • Support product releases and launches, including user acceptance testing, documentation, demonstrations, FAQs, pitchbooks, fact sheets, and other materials for client-facing teams.
  • Work with Sales and Client Success to understand market reception and identify opportunities to improve positioning, adoption, and product-market fit.
  • Track product performance through adoption, engagement, client satisfaction, revenue, retention, and profitability metrics.
  • Identify opportunities for strategic partnerships, integrations, and other initiatives that strengthen the Total Portfolio Solutions platform.
  • Act as a visible product leader and advocate for Total Portfolio Solutions internally and with clients.
