Data Product Manager

ElectronX•Chicago, IL

About The Position

ElectronX is building a data services business alongside its core derivatives exchange, with a mandate to turn raw exchange data into structured products that customers love and are willing to pay for. You will be the operator who turns strategy into concrete artifacts: data definitions, specs, catalogs, documentation, and early GTM motions. Operating under the direct oversight of Executive Management and working closely with our Product & Strategy, Operations, Legal, Commercial, and Engineering stakeholders, you will serve as the primary owner and lead architect of our Data Services roadmap.

Requirements

4–7 years of experience in one or more of: exchange or vendor market data, product management, data product operations, or related roles.
Comfortable working with technical teams; you don’t have to code, but you can read and reason about schemas, fields, and data models.
Strong communicator who can turn messy input into clean artifacts: tables, specs, slides, and simple narratives.
Detail-oriented and organized; you like owning the spreadsheet, the Confluence space, and the “source of truth.”
Excited by 0–1 environments where part of the job is defining process and structure, not just following it.
