Job Description Senior Product Manager, AI Platform – Equity Research VERSANT is an independent, publicly traded company that brings together powerhouse brands such as CNBC, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), USA Network, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and Golf Channel, along with dynamic digital and direct-to-consumer brands such as Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow, and GolfPass.

StockStory, part of CNBC and VERSANT, is building the next generation of AI-powered equity research for individual investors. We operate like a startup—a small team with high ownership, fast decisions, and direct access to leadership—while benefiting from the resources and long-term commitment of a well-capitalized public company.

Our mission is simple: help millions of individual investors make better investment decisions. We’re combining AI, institutional-quality investment research, proprietary data, and exceptional engineering to redefine how retail investors discover, research, and evaluate stocks.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager with deep experience building consumer investing, financial research, or market-data products to help us build a new generation of AI-powered equity research products.

This role sits at the intersection of consumer fintech, public equities, financial data, and AI. You will work with a high-caliber team that brings together top-tier engineering and buy-side investing talent, including analysts with prior experience at firms such as Millennium, Point72, and KKR.

In this role, you will own and shape core product experiences across our AI equity research platform, particularly products that help investors discover stocks, conduct research, compare opportunities, understand investment theses, and build conviction. These may include AI-powered research reports, stock recommendations, screeners and discovery tools, company pages, watchlists, portfolio insights, and conversational research experiences.

This is a hands-on product role for someone who wants to stay close to users, product details, data, and execution. You do not need to have worked professionally as an equity analyst, but you should be an active individual investor with strong public-markets fluency. You should understand how investors move from discovering a stock to researching the business, evaluating valuation and risk, comparing alternatives, and ultimately making an investment decision.

You will identify the highest-value customer problems, define product requirements, validate assumptions with users and data, and partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and Equity Research to ship experiences that make institutional-quality research accessible and actionable for a large retail investor audience.

The team is part of a new organization, which means you will have meaningful influence over both the products we build and the product culture we establish. We believe in deeply understanding customer needs and behaviors, empowering product teams to solve meaningful problems, shipping useful products quickly, and iterating based on real user feedback and behavior.

This is an opportunity to take significant ownership early and grow quickly as the platform and team scale.

• Develop a deep understanding of our users through regular interviews, usability testing, behavioral analysis, and other forms of product discovery.
• Study how individual investors discover ideas, research companies, evaluate financial performance and valuation, compare stocks, build conviction, monitor investments, and make buy/sell decisions.
• Translate customer problems, investing workflows, competitive insights, and behavioral data into clear product…
