Product Market Research Lead
Product Transformation Discipline
Position Summary
Our firm’s evolution mirrors the story of global finance adapting to navigate the challenges of expanding markets. Navigating these challenges requires professionals who combine deep market insight with sound judgment and a passion for helping organizations make better decisions. We seek individuals who are intellectually curious, evidence-driven, and motivated by the opportunity to shape the future direction of our products and services.
Brown Brothers Harriman is currently recruiting for a Market Research Lead to join the Product Transformation Discipline within the Investor Services business. This leadership role owns the Product organization's market-back evidence base and turns client, competitor, and ecosystem insight into clear, prioritized opportunities that inform product leadership and product teams on what to build, buy, or partner for. Reporting to the Head of the Product Transformation Discipline, this role will serve as the connection between enterprise strategy and product execution, helping translate strategic priorities into actionable product opportunities while ensuring market realities inform strategic thinking.
The Product Transformation Discipline builds the product capabilities (research, design, prototyping, measurement, and the operating model) that product teams draw on across the product lifecycle. It frames new bets and sets the standards the product organization works to; the product teams own roadmap, backlog, and the delivery of live products.
This role will build and lead the Product Market Research function, establish research standards across the Product organization, and provide the evidence base that helps determine where the product portfolio should invest, partner, or innovate.
Key Responsibilities

- Own win/loss analysis from a product portfolio perspective: identify the factors that drive commercial outcomes and feed findings into roadmap and the commercial case.
- Track competitor capabilities and market positioning to identify where products lead or lag and help inform product priorities.
- Monitor fintech, data, and partner ecosystems for opportunities to strengthen existing products and identify emerging opportunities.
Product Opportunity Development
- Bring together strategic planning, client insight and market intelligence to identify and define product opportunities.
- Build the evidence base used to support, reshape, or stop potential product investments.
- Work hand in hand with product heads to identify key gaps in market and client insights that could drive the development of, and improvements to, product value propositions and roadmaps.
- Partner with strategic planning to translate strategic theses into product opportunities and provide market feedback to challenge and refine assumptions.
- Partner with the innovation function to identify long-term themes that may impact multi-year product portfolio strategy.
- Transition validated opportunities to Rapid Prototyping and Innovation and provide problem definitions to Product Design & CX.
Research Leadership & Standards
- Establish and own the research standard for the Product organization.
- Partner with Product Operations to embed research practices across teams conducting ongoing insight and discovery work.
- Build and lead the Product Market Research function while increasing the impact and influence of market-backed insight across the organization.
Knowledge and Skills
- Senior leadership experience in research, insights, or product strategy, with the credibility to influence senior stakeholders, Principals, and Partners.
- Proven track record of translating client, competitor, and ecosystem insight into decisions that changed what was built or prioritized.
- Strong ability to synthesize diverse information into clear, evidence-based recommendations and opportunity assessments.
- Experience with product discovery, opportunity sizing, and influencing outcomes across complex, matrixed organizations.
- Asset servicing or asset management experience strongly preferred.

Senior Level Research Product Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level research product manager job?
Employers hiring at the senior level look for candidates who have owned a research product end-to-end, not just contributed to one. Demonstrating that you have set a research roadmap, made prioritization calls under ambiguity, and influenced product strategy with data gives you a clear edge. Showing experience mentoring junior researchers or PMs and aligning stakeholders across engineering, design, and go-to-market strengthens your candidacy further.
Which companies hire senior level research product managers?
Companies hiring senior level research product managers right now include Adobe, Invesco, and Yandex, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from organizations with mature product functions, including large technology firms, enterprise software companies, and consumer-focused businesses investing in user and market research capabilities.
Are there remote senior level research product manager jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid options are common at this level given how well the role translates to distributed collaboration. About 25% of senior level research product manager openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting broad employer comfort with senior individual contributors and team leads working outside a central office.
What makes a research product manager role senior level?
Senior level research product manager roles are defined by ownership and scope rather than task execution. You are expected to set the research agenda, define methodologies across multiple product areas, and translate findings into strategic recommendations that leadership acts on. Mentoring less experienced researchers or PMs, managing relationships with cross-functional partners, and driving decisions without close supervision are all standard expectations at this stage.
Which industries hire the most senior level research product managers?
Senior Level research product manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Banking & Financial Services, and Investment & Asset Management, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors tend to sustain senior-level demand because their product development cycles rely heavily on structured user research, competitive analysis, and data-informed roadmapping to differentiate in competitive markets.
