We’re building the next generation of capital-markets infrastructure, starting with a modern, digital-native transfer agent designed for today’s public companies.
Vinyl Equity is transforming one of the most legacy-heavy and operationally critical parts of the capital markets by delivering the first API-driven, real-time infrastructure for public companies. Our platform replaces slow, manual processes with secure, automated workflows that help issuers operate faster, more efficiently, and with greater confidence.
We’re backed by leading investors including Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Infinity Ventures, and others who have funded many of the world’s most impactful financial-technology companies. Our team draws from deep experience at NYSE, Equiniti, Computershare, and AngelList, giving us a unique understanding of the industry’s pain points — and how to solve them.
We have a massive market, a well-defined customer, and strong momentum. With demand accelerating and new product lines on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to join.
Every Vinyl customer’s journey — from a hot-IPO entrant to an established Fortune 500 transferring off a legacy TA — runs through Issuer Activation: the product surface that takes a company from first conversation, through a sandboxed demo environment, all the way to live on Vinyl. Issuer Activation is where prospective customers experience what Vinyl actually feels like, and where new customers complete their migration from their incumbent TA. It is one of the most strategically important moments of every customer relationship, and it deserves a product leader who treats it that way.
We’re seeking a senior Product Manager to own Issuer Activation end-to-end. On the pre-sales side, you own the demo environment that lets prospective issuers experience the Vinyl platform with realistic, scenario-driven data — whether they’re a fresh IPO with no cap-table history or a mature public company with decades of corporate-action complexity. On the post-sales side, you own the activation product that takes an issuer from contract signature to live, with a self-serve, sandbox-first, diagnostic-led experience. You will own the roadmap end-to-end, partnering closely with our engineering, operations, and post-sales teams.
The industry myth that TA conversion is inherently difficult and slow has been Vinyl’s opportunity. We’ve built the technology to ingest historical transactions, identify gaps and discrepancies, and help our customers reconcile and maintain clean data going forward. The platform already exists. Your role is to bring its full power to our customers — to make a process that legacy providers describe as a quarter-long project feel like the modern, software-led experience it should be.
Issuer Activation is also the product face of one of Vinyl’s most strategically important narratives: the migration from a legacy TA to a modern one. Every new issuer we win is leaving someone else, and how that activation feels is part of why they chose us. You will represent Issuer Activation in customer conversations alongside our sales team, and partner with the operations team to deliver a product-led implementation experience for every new issuer.
This is a Chicago-based role at our West Loop headquarters, and candidates must be able to work in-office at least three days per week.
