Product Manager, Quant Platform

About Us:

YipitData is the leading market research and analytics firm for the disruptive economy and recently raised up to $475M from The Carlyle Group at a valuation over $1B.

We analyze billions of alternative data points every day to provide accurate, detailed insights on ridesharing, e-commerce marketplaces, payments and more. Our on-demand insights team uses proprietary technology to identify, license, clean and analyze the data many of the world’s largest investment funds and corporations depend on.

For three years and counting, we have been recognized as one ofInc’s Best Workplaces. We are a fast-growing technology company backed by The Carlyle Group and Norwest Venture Partners. Our offices are located in NYC, Austin, Miami, Denver, Mountain View, Seattle, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Singapore. We cultivate a people-centric culture focused on mastery, ownership, and transparency.

About the Role:

This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters are located) or anywhere in the US, including in any of our US offices listed above.

At YipitData, we value ownership and impact. Our Data Feeds & Quant business is one of the fastest-growing segments of YipitData. To accelerate that growth, we’re looking for a Product Manager to own and scale the platform on which our quant product efforts are built.

This role sits at the intersection of quant research, data products, engineering, and go-to-market. You will help turn proprietary and exclusively licensed alternative datasets - including transaction data, email receipt data, B2B spend data, and more - into standardized, client-ready factor and signal products for systematic investors. This is not a maintenance role. You will help define the product shape of our quant platform, build the operating model around it, and bring a new class of products to market.

Our Feeds & Quant organization includes product managers, quant researchers, product specialists, feed operations, and product marketers. We collaborate closely with engineering partners, who own technical architecture, infrastructure, and implementation, as well as with Sales, CS, and Product Specialists. Together, we serve a wide range of systematic users - from sophisticated funds that want flexible building blocks to smaller managers that need more packaged, immediately usable products.

In this role, you will:

• Quant Platform & Factor Library Development
  • Define and own the product spec for our factor library - including factor definitions, universe/coverage rules, methodology notes, historical evidence packs, factor exposure files, QA frameworks, and update cadence
