Principal Product Manager, Equity Advice

The Team You’ll Work With

You will be responsible for the roadmap for Carta’s new equity advice offering, a company benefit that helps employees understand their equity, plan exercises in tax-advantaged ways, and connect one-on-one with professionals. Questions about exercise costs and taxes often hold employees back from taking action on their equity, so this product plays a key role in achieving Carta’s mission of creating more owners. This is one of Carta’s new personal finance products designed to help our employee user base of 1M+ maximize their wealth through ownership.

This is a high-visibility, B2B2C role for product leaders who have a passion for finding new ways to solve user problems, combining technology and data with high-touch, white-glove services.
