About Supernova Technology

Founded in 2014, we offer the industry’s first and only cloud-based, fully-customizable, end-to-end software solution to automate securities-based lending from origination through the life of the loan. By combining thought leadership in suitability and risk management with industry-leading education and the latest technology, Supernova enables advisors to deliver holistic, goals-based advice and to help their clients achieve financial wellness. We partner with the industry’s largest banks, most prominent insurance companies and leading online brokerages to democratize access to securities-based lending and better the entire financial ecosystem.


Why Join Supernova?

At Supernova Technology, we believe that the best results come from a team that is passionate, driven, and supported in all aspects of their professional lives. Here, you’ll work alongside talented and innovative individuals who are committed to driving the future of securities-based lending technology. We foster a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and growth, where each person’s contributions make a real impact.


About the Role

Supernova is looking for a Product Manager to join our global product organization, building the leading platform for securities-based lending and wealth management technology. Our platform powers some of the largest financial institutions in North America and Europe.

This is a modern product role. You will define problems with precision, work directly with enterprise clients to translate raw feedback into business problem statements, and prototype your own solutions — this role owns prototyping end-to-end, using AI-assisted tooling as a default part of how you research, specify, build, and validate. You'll operate within a global delivery model, collaborating daily with product and engineering colleagues across our Chicago and international teams.


Responsibilities

Problem Definition & Discovery

  • Translate raw client feedback, support signals, and market inputs into structured, well-scoped problem statements — you write problems worth solving, not feature requests
  • Work directly with enterprise clients and internal stakeholders to gather, validate, and prioritize requirements; run client-facing discovery sessions and product demos with confidence
  • Identify and evaluate new features and enhancements against Supernova's platform strategy to drive measurable business value

Solution Design & Delivery

  • Own the solution end-to-end, from problem statement to development-ready package: you design and build interactive prototypes and UI mockups yourself using AI-assisted tooling — prototyping is not delegated — and validate them with clients and internal stakeholders before development begins
  • Author complete specifications covering edge cases, error states, configuration defaults, and system-accurate details — your prototype and your spec together reduce clarification cycles with global engineering teams
  • Drive initiatives through Supernova's product development lifecycle, including structured quality gates, solution readbacks, and release governance under a single-version platform model
  • Manage competing priorities across business leaders, engineers, partners, and end users by making thoughtful trade-offs and communicating them clearly

AI-Native Ways of Working

  • Use AI tooling daily to accelerate research, requirements authoring, analysis, prototyping, and client communication — and continuously improve how the product team works with these tools
  • Contribute to the team's AI enablement practices: shared skills, prompts, and workflows that raise the productivity floor for the whole product organization

Platform & Stakeholder Leadership

  • Manage your area of the product roadmap by understanding how the platform makes internal and external customers more effective in executing their strategy
  • Collaborate with other product managers and leaders to synthesize complex requirements into value-added platform initiatives
  • Evangelize and drive adoption of platform-level capabilities with internal and external stakeholders
  • Build recognized expertise in your domain, both internally and with industry partners


Qualifications

  • 3+ years of product management experience in enterprise B2B SaaS
  • Demonstrated success working with engineering teams to plan, develop, refine, and launch enterprise software products
  • Hands-on fluency with AI tools across the full product workflow — market and client research, prototyping and UI mockups, requirements drafting, acceptance criteria, and test case generation. You should be able to show us how you work, not just tell us
  • Success managing client-facing interactions and product demos
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to prioritize and make difficult trade-off decisions while delivering on a roadmap
  • Able to work independently in a fast-paced, agile environment
  • Bachelor's degree in any related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Financial services domain experience — wealth management, lending, banking, or capital markets preferred
  • Experience working in regulated environments where requirements carry compliance implications preferred
  • Experience collaborating with globally distributed engineering or product teams across time zones preferred


Our Employee Benefits

At Supernova Technology, we provide a robust benefits package to support the health and well-being of our employees. Our offerings include:

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance: Multiple plans with coverage for employees and dependents.
  • HSA and FSA Accounts: Tax-advantaged accounts for health and dependent care expenses.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Employer-paid basic coverage with options for additional voluntary coverage.
  • Compensation: $120,000 - $150,000 per year
  • Retirement Savings: 401(k) plan with employer contributions.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential support services, including free therapy sessions.
  • Paid Time Off: Flexible PTO policies.
  • Additional Perks: Commuter benefits, pet insurance, continuing education assistance, and more.

Note: Actual salary at the time of hire may vary and may be above or below the range based on various factors, including but not limited to, the candidate's relevant qualifications, skills and experience, and the location where this position may be filled.
