Senior Product Manager - Investments

4h•$150,000 - $190,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Our Product Team manages the portfolio of features and enhancements that power tastytrade, guiding each initiative from initial concept through discovery, build, deployment, and continuous improvement. We're expanding the team to match the ambition of what we're building, and we're hiring a Senior Product Manager to own our investing experience. tastytrade is one of the best active trading platforms in the market. The medium and long-term investing experience is largely unbuilt - this is a rare 0-to-1 opportunity at a platform with real scale. As tastytrade deepens its investing vision (model portfolios, automated investing, and sophisticated portfolio construction tools), this role will help define what that means for the customer experience, end to end. You'll develop deep subject matter expertise in equity markets and investment products and play a pivotal role in shaping a product that doesn't fully exist yet. You'll report into the Head of Product and own tastytrade's investing experience end-to-end – stock and ETF discovery, order entry, position management, portfolio tracking tools. Your charter is to give tastytrade's existing traders a reason to invest on the same platform they already trade on, while laying the foundation for the longer-horizon investor tastytrade doesn't yet fully serve.

Requirements

5+ years of product management experience with demonstrated success leading complex product initiatives, managing stakeholder relationships, and delivering products that drove significant business outcomes and revenue growth
Strong technical and commercial acumen
You can define comprehensive non-functional requirements around latency, data fidelity, and market hours handling, and work in lockstep with engineering while building business cases and tracking financial metrics tied to product performance
Mastery of advanced PM methods
Expert with prototyping, A/B testing, advanced analytics, and roadmapping platforms, with experience leveraging AI and machine learning to optimize product capabilities
Exceptional communication and leadership skills
Able to tailor messaging to diverse stakeholders from engineers to executives, with experience mentoring junior product managers and establishing scalable ways of working across teams
Passion for empowering individual investors and traders, and for improving the investing experience through data-driven insights and strategic decision-making

Nice To Haves

Experience in fintech, retail brokerage, or an adjacent regulated industry is strongly preferred; direct experience building or using equities trading or investment platforms is a significant advantage.
Familiarity with the brokerage regulatory landscape, including relevant SEC and FINRA rules, fiduciary standards, and the considerations around advisory vs. execution-only models, will be particularly valuable as tastytrade grows its investment capabilities.

Communicate confidently with executive stakeholders while translating between technical and business perspectives, and manage cross-functional dependencies with the options, futures, and core platform teams.
Grow and develop the investor customer base
