Who We Are:
 
TradeStation is the home of those born to trade. As an online brokerage firm and trading ecosystem, we are focused on delivering the ultimate trading experience for active traders and institutions. We continuously push the boundaries of what's possible, encourage out-of-the-box thinking, and relentlessly search for like-minded innovators.
 
At TradeStation, we are building an AI-First culture. We expect team members to embrace AI as a core part of their daily workflow, whether that’s using AI to accelerate development, enhance decision-making, improve client outcomes, or streamline internal processes. We hire, grow, and promote people who can harness AI responsibly and creatively. We treat AI as a partner in problem-solving, not just a tool; following our governance standards to ensure AI is used ethically, securely, and transparently. If you join us, you’re joining a culture where AI is how we work.
 
Are you ready to make yourself at home?
 
What We Are Looking For:
 
We are looking for an experienced Product Management Director to lead the Active Trader product area. This is a senior role for someone who combines deep expertise in trading and financial products with strong product management fundamentals,  and who is energized by building features that matter to sophisticated, high-volume traders.
 
This role will own the product vision and roadmap for the Active Trader segment across our platforms, working closely with engineering, design, and business stakeholders to ship products that drive measurable outcomes for our most valuable clients. You may also provide direction and mentorship to other PMs on the team as the organization grows.
 
What You’ll Be Doing:
 
Active Trader Product Ownership
  • Own the product roadmap for the Active Trader segment across TITAN X, HUB, and Mobile, with deep focus on complex options strategies, futures, and derivatives tooling
  • Define and prioritize features that drive meaningful improvements in trade volume, client retention, and the overall experience for high-value active traders
  • Conduct ongoing customer discovery with VIP active traders and translate insights into well-defined product requirements
  • Develop a clear point of view on what separates professional-grade trading tools from consumer-grade experiences — and build to that standard
  • Monitor product KPIs and business outcomes; use data to inform prioritization and flag risks early
Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Partner with engineering and design to drive from concept to delivery — acting as the connective tissue between business goals and technical execution
  • Work closely with marketing, CX, compliance, and risk to ensure product launches are coordinated and well-supported across the organization
  • Engage with senior stakeholders and executive leadership to communicate roadmap strategy, surface trade-offs, and align on priorities
  • Evaluate competitive developments in the active trading and fintech space and proactively incorporate insights into the product strategy
  • Partner with compliance and risk on regulatory considerations, particularly as they relate to derivatives and options product development
Team & Ways of Working
  • Provide direction and mentorship to PMs on the Active Trader team; model strong product thinking and execution standards
  • Contribute to a culture of speed, precision, and continuous improvement in how the PM team operates
  • Leverage AI tools as part of your everyday workflow to move faster, synthesize research, and improve the quality of your outputs
The Skills You Bring:
  • Strong command of PM fundamentals: discovery, prioritization, road mapping, KPI definition, stakeholder communication, and go-to-market execution
  • Demonstrated ability to ship software features in an agile environment with measurable business impact
  • Experience working directly with engineering teams on technical trade-offs — you can have a meaningful conversation about API design, data models, and system constraints
  • Comfortable building and using self-service analytics to measure product performance; data fluency is expected, not optional
  • Clear, precise written communication — your ability to articulate intent directly determines what gets built
  • Deep, working knowledge of active trading with meaningful expertise in multi-leg options strategies, equity derivatives, and/or futures
  • Familiarity with broker-dealer platform conventions, order entry UX, risk management tools, and post-trade analytics
  • Intuition for what VIP-level active trader UX looks like and what distinguishes professional-grade tools from consumer-grade experiences
  • Ability to write accurate, detailed product requirements without relying on a subject matter expert for every decision
  • Experience operating at a senior level with exposure to executive stakeholders and cross-functional leadership
  • Ability to influence without authority across design, engineering, marketing, and compliance
  • Organized and focused under pressure; able to manage multiple product tracks simultaneously without losing precision
  • Growth-oriented mindset — you proactively stay ahead of industry trends, competitive shifts, and evolving client needs
  • Personal trading experience in options or futures — market participation creates intuition that is hard to teach preferred
  • Prior experience in a senior PM role with some people management or mentorship responsibility preferred
  • Familiarity with Amplitude, Databricks, or similar analytics platforms for self-service product measurement preferred
  • Experience at a broker-dealer, trading platform, or fintech company serving professional or active trader segments preferred
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or related field
  • 10+ years of experience in product management, with a track record of owning complex, customer-facing products end to end with a focus on active trading or financial services
What We Offer:
  • Collaborative work environment
  • Competitive Salaries
  • Yearly bonus
  • Comprehensive benefits for you and your family starting Day 1
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off
  • Flexible working environment
  • TradeStation Account employee benefits, as well as full access to trading education materials
  • Pay Range (US) $190-206K (Countries outside of the US have differing ranges in accordance with local labor markets)
