Position: Product Management Director, Active Trader

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Product Management Director to lead the Active Trader product area. This is a senior role for someone who combines deep expertise in trading and financial products with strong product management fundamentals, and who is energized by building features that matter to sophisticated, high-volume traders.

Responsibilities

  • Active Trader Product Ownership
    • Own the product roadmap for the Active Trader segment across TITAN X, HUB, and Mobile, with deep focus on complex options strategies, futures, and derivatives tooling
    • Define and prioritize features that drive meaningful improvements in trade volume, client retention, and the overall experience for high-value active traders
    • Conduct ongoing customer discovery with VIP active traders and translate insights into well-defined product requirements
    • Develop a clear point of view on what separates professional-grade trading tools from consumer-grade experiences — and build to that standard
    • Monitor product KPIs and business outcomes; use data to inform prioritization and flag risks early
  • Cross-Functional Leadership
    • Partner with engineering and design to drive from concept to delivery — acting as the connective tissue between business goals and technical execution
    • Work closely with marketing, CX, compliance, and risk to ensure product launches are coordinated and well-supported across the organization
    • Engage with senior stakeholders and executive leadership to communicate roadmap strategy, surface trade-offs, and align on priorities
    • Evaluate competitive developments in the active trading and fintech space and proactively incorporate insights into the product strategy
    • Partner with compliance and risk on regulatory considerations, particularly as they relate to derivatives and options product development
  • Team & Ways of Working
    • Provide direction and mentorship to PMs on the Active Trader team; model strong product thinking and execution standards
    • Contribute to a culture of speed, precision, and continuous improvement in how the PM team operates
    • Leverage AI tools as part of your everyday workflow to move faster, synthesize research, and improve the quality of your outputs

Requirements

  • Strong command of PM fundamentals: discovery, prioritization, road mapping, KPI definition, stakeholder communication, and go-to-market execution
  • Demonstrated ability to ship software features in an agile environment with measurable business impact
  • Experience working directly with engineering teams on technical trade-offs — you can have a meaningful conversation about API design, data models, and system constraints
  • Comfortable building and using self-service analytics to measure product performance; data fluency is expected, not optional
  • Clear, precise written communication — your ability to articulate intent directly determines what gets built
  • Deep, working knowledge of active trading with meaningful expertise in multi-leg options strategies, equity derivatives, and/or futures
  • Familiarity with broker-dealer platform conventions, order entry UX, risk management tools, and post-trade analytics
  • Intuition for what VIP-level active trader UX looks like and what distinguishes professional-grade tools from consumer-grade experiences
  • Able to write accurate, detailed product requirements without relying on a subject matter expert for every decision
  • Experience operating at a senior level with exposure to executive stakeholders and cross-functional leadership
  • Able to influence without authority across design, engineering, marketing, and compliance
  • Organized and focused under pressure; able to manage multiple product tracks simultaneously without losing precision
  • Growth-oriented mindset — you proactively stay ahead of industry trends, competitive shifts, and evolving client needs
  • Prior experience in a senior PM role with some people management or mentorship responsibility preferred
  • Familiarity with Amplitude, Databricks, or similar analytics platforms for self-service product measurement preferred
  • Experience at a broker-dealer, trading platform, or fintech company serving professional or active trader segments preferred

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or related field
  • 10+ years of experience in product management, with a track record of owning complex, customer-facing products end to end with a focus on active trading or financial services
