Senior Product Manager

Overview

What You’ll Own

• Exchange core product
• Own the full product lifecycle for trading features — spot, order book, matching engine UX, and trade execution flows.
• You set the vision, write the specs, and see them through to production.
• Stakeholder management
• Drive alignment across Compliance, Risk, Engineering, Marketing, and Business Development.
• You manage up, across, and outward — including with regulators and external partners when needed.
• Regulatory product design
• Translate regulatory requirements into product decisions.
• You understand that compliance is a product constraint, not someone else’s problem.
• Roadmap and prioritisation
• Own the exchange roadmap.
• Prioritise ruthlessly based on data, user insight, and business impact.
• Surface hard trade-offs early and make calls — don’t wait to be told.
• Product discovery and initiative
• Proactively identify gaps in the market, user pain points, and competitive whitespace.
• You bring ideas to the table that nobody asked you for — and back them with evidence.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years in product, 2+ years in fintech/Crypto is a plus
• Strong ownership bias
• Doesn’t wait for permission or perfect information to move.
• Trading product depth
• Fluent in order types, execution mechanics, and liquidity concepts.
• Data-led decisions
• Comfortable in SQL and analytics tools. Doesn’t outsource insight to an analyst. Influence without authority
• Gets cross-functional teams aligned without needing a formal mandate.
• Regulatory awareness
• Has worked in licensed financial environments. VARA / CBB familiarity is a plus. Clear written communicator
• PRDs, memos, and briefs that engineers, execs, and regulators can all follow.

What Good Looks Like In This Role

• You spot a drop in trade completion rates before anyone flags it, diagnose the root cause, and have a fix scoped with Engineering by end of week.
• You walk into a Compliance review with a pre-read that answers their likely concerns before they ask them.
• You push back on a poorly defined feature request from a senior stakeholder — with data, an alternative, and a better outcome in mind.
• You propose a product initiative unprompted because you saw a gap in the competitive landscape and built the business case for it yourself.
