About Us

Metal is building the world’s most powerful intelligence platform for private market investors. We support deal teams throughout the diligence lifecycle — from market research and sourcing to evaluation and close. Top-tier funds like Berkshire Partners already rely on Metal to move faster and make smarter investment decisions.

We’re growing quickly — expanding our platform and customer base — and we’re just getting started.

If you're excited to transform how private investors work, collaborate, and make decisions, we’d love to meet you.

The Role

We’re hiring a Product Strategist to help define and drive our product vision. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role working directly with Metal’s founders, product team, and users to shape the future of our platform and the industry.

You’ll thrive if you’re entrepreneurial, resourceful, and energized by operating at the frontier of AI in a fast-moving startup. In this role, you won’t just shape what we build — you’ll also be deeply involved in customer conversations, sales strategy, and product messaging. This is a uniquely cross-functional role with visibility and impact across the company.

You’re product-minded — able to identify user needs, design clean solutions, and drive execution. Just as importantly, you bring firsthand experience working with our users — either from time at a private equity fund or building tools for investors — and understand how deal teams think and operate.

What You'll Do

• Own and evolve the product roadmap from strategy to execution
• Talk regularly with users and turn insights into actionable product improvements
• Make smart tradeoffs that balance user needs and business priorities
• Build and maintain product analytics dashboards to inform decisions
• Support founders across product development, customer conversations, and go-to-market efforts
• Act as a key extension of the founding team’s top priorities

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years in product or adjacent roles
• Direct experience in private equity or building tools for private market investors
• Strong product instincts, clear execution, and a bias toward action
• Entrepreneurial mindset — proactive, adaptable, and outcome-oriented
• Fluency with product analytics and experience creating/maintaining dashboards
• Excellent communicator across teams and stakeholders
• Based in NYC or open to relocating — we believe great product gets built in person

Benefits & Compensation

We're a startup that believes in hiring great people and rewarding them with competitive compensation. For this role, you can expect:

• Salary range: $160,000 – $190,000 USD, depending on experience
• Equity: Meaningful early-stage ownership in Metal
• Health Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

Frontend: React (Next.js), Tailwind CSS Backend: Go, MongoDB Infra: AWS, Vercel, GitHub Actions AI infra: Vespa.ai, Model APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc), Agent orchestration
