Location: Chicago, IL
- Hybrid (3 days/week in office)

Our Product Team manages the portfolio of features and enhancements that power tastytrade, guiding each initiative from concept through discovery, build, deployment, and continuous improvement. We’re expanding the team to match our ambition and hiring a Senior Product Manager to own our futures trading experience. This role will own the client‑facing experience of futures traders, guiding the platform end‑to‑end while partnering with technology and operations to deliver a powerful infrastructure.

• 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, 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 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.
• Work closely with legal, compliance, and operations to translate regulatory milestones into product opportunities as tastytrade expands its role in futures market infrastructure.
• Communicate confidently with executive stakeholders while translating between technical and business perspectives, managing cross‑functional dependencies with 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 onboarding, education, and activation flows that get them to their first successful trade.

• 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.

• Understand contract specifications, tick sizes, margin mechanics (SPAN), expiration and roll dynamics, and the differences 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 strongly preferred; direct experience building or using futures trading platforms is a significant advantage. Familiarity with clearing, execution, and the role of FCMs in the trade lifecycle is valuable.

• Define comprehensive non‑functional requirements around latency, data fidelity, and session handling, and work closely with engineering while building business cases and tracking financial metrics tied to product performance.

• Expert with prototyping, A/B testing, advanced analytics, and road mapping platforms, with experience leveraging AI and machine learning to optimize product capabilities.

• 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…
