RemoteRemoteMarketing$110k–$221k/yrFull-time
Position Overview
The Senior Product Manager will be responsible for driving the development and execution of the Trading-as-a-Service product line, which includes features such as Convert & Trade, PTL-as-a-Service (custodial and non-custodial), Orderbook/CLOB API, Recurring Buys, Limit Orders, and PTL + xStocks (tokenized equities).
Responsibilities
- Shape the roadmap and execution across various trade surfaces including Convert & Trade, PTL-as-a-Service, Orderbook/CLOB API, Recurring Buys, Limit Orders, and PTL + xStocks.
- Lead the full lifecycle from discovery through build, launch, and iteration.
- Work directly with partners (fintechs, banks, brokerages, platforms) to understand integration requirements, unblock deployments, and ensure product-market fit.
- Drive product decisions on trading UX patterns, API design, custody models, and compliance workflows for B2B2C use cases.
- Treat the API as the product: design REST/WebSocket surfaces, auth, webhooks, SDKs, and docs that determine whether a partner integrates in weeks or stalls.
- Make hard product calls on execution models, custody models, account structures, and compliance workflows.
- Own metrics that matter: partner integration velocity, trading volume, assets on platform (AOP), end-user activation, and revenue impact.
- Partner with the Derivatives team on jointly-owned crypto derivatives capabilities.
- Collaborate with Sales and BD on strategic deals — demos, technical scoping, custom integration planning.
Requirements
- 6+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time building B2B2C infrastructure — ideally platforms that help companies add trading, brokerage, or financial services to their own apps.
- B2B / developer-facing API product experience - You've owned API products that external partners build against, and you understand what makes integration fast or painful: API design, auth, webhooks, sandbox environments, SDKs, multi-tenant architecture, onboarding friction.
- Hands-on experience with trading platforms or exchange infrastructure — order types, execution models, custody, settlement — and what it takes to ship trading products at scale (exchange, brokerage, or trading-infra background strongly preferred).
- Technical fluency: you hold your own in architecture discussions, make informed build/buy tradeoffs, and challenge engineering when needed.
- Experience in regulated financial services, operating within compliance and licensing constraints across multiple jurisdictions.
- Strong product sense with commercial awareness — you lead with product but understand how roadmap choices drive revenue, without needing a quota to motivate you.
- Comfort in ambiguity: you move fast, decide with imperfect information, and adapt as the business scales.
