Role
Who you are
- 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
- Deep familiarity with futures markets: you understand contract specifications, tick sizes, margin mechanics (SPAN), expiration and roll dynamics, and the difference between equity index, commodity, interest rate, and crypto futures products
- Expertise in high-performance trading interfaces, with a strong point of view on what active futures traders need from order entry, position management, and risk display across web, mobile, and desktop
- Experience in fintech, retail brokerage, or an adjacent regulated industry is strongly preferred; direct experience building or using futures trading platforms is a significant advantage. Familiarity with futures market structure, including clearing, execution, and the role of FCMs in the trade lifecycle, will be particularly valuable as tastytrade grows its presence in this space
- Strong technical and commercial acumen: you can define comprehensive non-functional requirements around latency, data fidelity, and session 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 traders and improving the futures trading experience through data-driven insights and strategic decision-making
- Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they have every single qualification. Our team is dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role, but your experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles!
What the job involves
- 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 futures trading experience
- Tastytrade already has a strong futures offering, and we're about to make it significantly more powerful
- As we execute a major expansion of our futures infrastructure, taking greater ownership of its clearing and operational capabilities, this role will be actively involved in key firm decisions, while also owning the client-facing experience that futures traders see every day
- This is a unique opportunity to own meaningful customer experience work on a live, high-volume trading surface, while engaging in the kind of structural work that changes what tastytrade is capable of long-term
- You'll report into the head of product and own tastytrade's futures experience end-to-end – contract discovery and order entry, position management, margin communication etc. – while partnering closely with the technology and operations teams driving this buildout
- You'll develop deep subject matter expertise in futures markets and play a pivotal role in shaping a platform that's redefining what a retail futures business looks like
- Lead strategy and execution for the full futures product surface, including the active trader interface, ‘pairs’ trader, DOM and ladder, chart-integrated order entry, calendar spread and roll workflows, and options-on-futures entry
- Ensure a fast, precise, and trustworthy experience for active traders across web, mobile, and desktop, while recognizing that each platform has unique constraints and highest-value use cases
- Develop a comprehensive product strategy for futures that translates business vision into executable plans
- Define and track OKRs and KPIs tied to futures trading volume, active trader retention, and micro contract adoption
- Build business cases for new product investments with clear ROI projections and competitive positioning
- Own the product decisions that sit at the intersection of trading infrastructure, exchange relationships, and regulatory requirements, including margin methodology (SPAN), overnight vs. intraday requirement communication, clearing and reconciliation, and session transition UX
- As tastytrade expands its role in futures market infrastructure, you'll help define what new capabilities mean for the customer experience, working closely with legal, compliance, and operations to translate regulatory milestones into product opportunities
- You’ll communicate confidently with executive stakeholders while translating between technical and business perspectives, and manage cross-functional dependencies with the options, equities, and core platform teams
- Partner with marketing and content teams to identify opportunities to bring new traders into futures, particularly through the micro contract product lineup (/MES, /MNQ, /MBT, and others), and design the onboarding, education, and activation flows that get them to their first successful trade
Our take
With the aim of "making investing fun”, Unicorn-verified tastytrade has amassed a following in the hundreds of thousands, delivering technology and support for "do-it-yourself" investors.
Founded in 2011, the company supplies not only a trading platform but trading education resources as well. It has launched dozens of podcasts and online video channels focusing on investment strategies and trading, as well as learning courses for those looking to get their start in the space.
Acquired by IG Group, a global player in trading, in 2021, tastytrade has since employed this added strength to scale up its business and expand into international markets. This increasing visibility - at a time when markets are especially unpredictable and its platform an invaluable asset - has enabled tastytrade to continue its upward momentum, reporting record demand in 2025. This strong performance highlights the growing importance of its platform in an ever-evolving market.
