As part of the International Private Bank (IPB) Digital & Data Transformation (DDT) organization, the J.P. Morgan Online International (JPOI) product team aims to create a fully-integrated digital experience for IPB clients and design end-to-end journeys bringing the advisor, service, and client experience closer together. It’s an exciting time to be transforming our business and you will be one of the key leaders driving strategic change, helping to accelerate business growth and achieve efficiency goals globally. The JPOI product team is seeking a Product Manager to build Digital Advice & Execution capabilities across the International Private Bank (IPB); the candidate will work with a global team strategizing and implementing solutions across EMEA and Asia regions.

As an Associate in Digital Advice & Execution team, you will be responsible for the product vision and strategies to come up with effective solutions to problems that are valuable (our users choose to use them), viable (the solution works for the business), usable (the users can figure out how to use them), and feasible (our engineers have the skills and technology to implement them). You will be required to quickly learn the constraints of our business from Servicing, Trading, Finance, Operations, Legal, Risk, and Compliance, among others, to succeed. The successful Product Manager must also contribute a deep knowledge of our users and the data about how they engage with our products, coupled with tracking of industry trends and the competitive landscape to provide wholesale Product expertise to the business. You will primarily partner with Technology and Design, but consistent engagement with Regional Business Leadership, Client Advisors, Client Service teams, Operations, Marketing, and Legal/Risk/Compliance stakeholders through the entire product management lifecycle will be necessary to ensure the businesses’ needs and control requirements are met.

You should demonstrate extensive knowledge of digital product management and digital market trends. In addition, you should have excellent communication skills, the ability to influence and negotiate, the ability to work as an individual contributor as well as a team, strong data-driven skills and knowledge around the Agile framework, an equal appreciation of the discovery and execution process, and the ability to quantify delivery into success measures.
