About the role

The Senior Product Manager will lead the development and submission of a US-regulated derivatives venue. This includes overseeing multiple workstreams towards DCM license, coordinating with partners and internal teams, and managing the post-license exchange build and rollout.

Responsibilities

  • Own the master timeline, milestone cadence, and cross-project dependencies for 9+ workstreams pointed at DCM submission
  • Drive partner-commercial tracking across DCO, Anchorage, FCMs, SMARTS, KYC vendors, Connamara, and others — integration timelines, contracts, and SLAs
  • Run daily, weekly, and monthly project planning, check-ins, and risk surfacing across internal teams and external counterparties
  • Deliver executive-level status reporting and board updates — clean, honest signal, no green-washing
  • Hire and manage a bench of TPM/PMs as the program expands into more topic areas
  • Post-license, coordinate exchange build and go-live across partners, compliance, legal, and business; grow into ownership of exchange operations
  • Remove blockers, get alignment, and keep the program pointed at the goal

Requirements

10+ years of experience in program management (5+ if you're deeply involved in US licensing product work)

2–3 years at a US-licensed crypto trading platform, ideally in a Program Manager role leading the initial licensing effort (DCM, ATS, broker-dealer, MSB, or equivalent)

Fluent working with FCMs, DCOs, custodians, surveillance vendors, and KYC providers

Strong track record delivering complex, multi-vendor projects with hard regulatory deadlines

Excellent written communicator — you turn messy execution into crisp updates leadership can act on

Comfortable holding senior internal leaders and external partners to their commitments

Bonus: Chief-of-staff or founder-adjacent experience at an early-to-mid stage company; fintech Program Manager background overlapping with SEC/compliance work (Robinhood, Stripe crypto, dYdX, Hyperliquid-type orgs, Coinbase, Kraken, Binance.US, etc.)
