Product Manager

Kensho is S&P Global’s hub for AI innovation and transformation. With expertise in machine learning, natural language processing, and data discovery, we develop and deploy novel solutions to innovate and drive progress at S&P Global and its customers worldwide. Kensho's solutions and research focus on business and financial generative AI applications, agents, data retrieval APIs, data extraction, and much more.

At Kensho, we hire talented people and give them the autonomy and support needed to build amazing technology and products. We collaborate using our teammates' diverse perspectives to solve hard problems. Our communication with one another is open, honest, and efficient. We dedicate time and resources to explore new ideas, but always rooted in engineering best practices. As a result, we can innovate rapidly to produce technology that is scalable, robust, and useful.

We are seeking a proactive and strategic Product Manager with a strong background in finance to lead our generative AI initiatives. This is a high growth potential role and the perfect opportunity for someone with high agency who is capable of navigating the complexities of finance and technology within large organizations. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver AI solutions that meet emerging market needs, support our customers, and drive our strategic vision.

At Kensho, we hire talented people and give them the freedom, support, and resources needed to accomplish our shared goals.

Kensho states that the anticipated base salary range for the position is 150k-190k. At Kensho, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case.
