Product Manager Jobs at Raymond James

Raymond James PM interview guide

Raymond James runs a multi-stage, behaviorally-heavy loop for product roles: a 20 to 30 minute recruiter phone screen, a technical/competency interview over video (project management methodology, business analysis, cross-functional work), then several 45-minute behavioral interviews with team members and managers, often closing with a more conversational final round with senior leadership. The defining trait is fit-and-judgment over puzzle questions: the firm screens for client-first values, financial-services context, and how you collaborate across stakeholders far more than for whiteboard product brainteasers.

The interview process

1. Recruiter phone screen (20 to 30 min). A recruiter walks your resume, your motivation for Raymond James, and your read on the role. They are checking baseline fit and communication before passing you to the hiring team.
2. Technical / competency interview (video). Conducted over video conferencing, focused on project management methodology (Agile/Scrum), business analysis, and cross-functional delivery. Expect to give concrete past-project examples: your role, the challenges, and the measurable outcome.
3. Behavioral interviews (multiple rounds, ~45 min each). Several conversations with team members, peers, and managers using situational prompts on conflict, decision-making, and leading projects. They are mapping you against the guiding behaviors: Develop, Collaborate, Decide, Deliver, Improve.
4. Final round with leadership (conversational). A more open conversation with senior leaders or key decision-makers about your view of the role, your grasp of the financial-services industry, and how you would contribute. Less Q-and-A, more two-way fit check.
5. What they're really testing. Three signals dominate: client-first values and culture fit (integrity, long-term view, the Develop/Collaborate/Decide/Deliver/Improve behaviors); stakeholder and cross-functional judgment (can you gather requirements from advisors and manage friction); and applied financial-services context paired with data-driven product decisions, not abstract product brainteasers.
