What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager position at Farsight?
About Farsight AI
Farsight is the agentic AI platform for financial services, currently helping investment banks and private equity firms fully automate entire, highly nuanced workflows. Today, institutions will spend 80% of their time gathering information for and creating first drafts of materials by hand before iterating on and refining their decks, models, and pitches.
Farsight not only gives them that time back to focus on what is important, but we also bring new insights and knowledge to their materials that they wouldn’t be able to uncover without the help of our financial-focused AI.
Our Team
Our team has had a wide range of experience that uniquely equips us to capture this massive opportunity. Our team comes from leading financial institutions like Evercore, General Atlantic and Menlo Ventures, supercharged by scalable engineering and AI skills from companies including Amazon, Hugging Face and the MIT Media Lab. We've learned the ins and outs of building successful startups with a team of former founders and founding engineers. We focus on hiring the best so that we can become the best, so we hope you apply!
We are entirely based in Manhattan, New York City, and are in-person 4 days a week (except Fridays, which are remote).
The Role
This is Farsight's first dedicated Product Manager hire, reporting directly to the CTO. It is a high-ownership, high-visibility role that sits at the center of our product, engineering, and customer teams. You will be responsible for translating the needs of users in the financial services space into a clear product vision, and working directly with our engineering team to bring that vision to life quickly and with precision.
You will own the product roadmap, drive prioritization decisions, and be the connective tissue between what our customers are asking for, interacting with our Strategy & Ops teams (with many ex-bankers), and what our engineers are building. Given the complexity of our agentic workflows and the nuance of our financial services customers, this role will suit someone who is both deeply curious about AI and fluent in the language of investment banking and private equity.
What You'll Do
Equal Opportunity
Farsight is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, sexual stereotypes, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics. We also consider qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with applicable federal, state, and local law.
Compensation Range: $160K - $200K

- Hands-on experience with LLMs, agentic systems, or AI workflow products
