Alpaca is building the infrastructure layer that partners across the Gulf use to launch and scale brokerage products. We're expanding our footprint in Saudi Arabia and the UAE — with live market access, a growing regional roadmap, and ambitions across derivatives, direct connectivity, securities lending, and Sharia-compliant offerings. We're hiring a Product Manager to own that expansion end-to-end: define the strategy, ship the products, and work with regulators, partners, and internal teams to make Alpaca the brokerage platform of choice across the Kingdom and the wider GCC.

We're seeking a Product Manager to define and drive new product initiatives and manage a portfolio of existing products across the Saudi and GCC markets. With a deep understanding of the regional regulatory landscape, including CMA, Edaa, Tadawul, and GCC financial market frameworks, you will shape the product strategy that enables Alpaca to scale its brokerage infrastructure across the Kingdom and the wider Gulf region, in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and the region's rapidly evolving capital markets.

This role is equal parts strategy and delivery. You'll decide what we build versus buy, how we sequence the regional roadmap, and which partnerships and connectivity paths get us there — and then ship the brokerage features, integrations, and operational workflows that partners and institutional clients depend on every day.

• Saudi limited live: scaling from initial market access to full product coverage while meeting CMA and Tadawul requirements.
• The rest of the Saudi roadmap: prioritizing and delivering the next wave of brokerage capabilities across equities, Sukuk, ETFs, and regional market needs.
• Saudi derivatives: defining and launching derivative product offerings compliant with local market structure and regulation.
• Saudi direct connectivity: building and owning connectivity to Tadawul and regional infrastructure, reducing reliance on intermediary paths.
• Saudi broker partnerships: evaluating, onboarding, and integrating local brokers to expand coverage and resilience.
• Saudi securities lending business: growing the securities lending product line for the Kingdom.
• All of the above for the UAE: replicating and adapting the Saudi playbook for the Emirates market, including local regulatory alignment and partner integrations.
• Sharia-compliant products across Alpaca: owning the product strategy and delivery for Islamic finance offerings, ensuring Sharia-compliant structures are embedded across regional and global product surfaces.
• Regulatory and stakeholder complexity: engagements with CMA, Tadawul, Edaa, and other regional regulators, plus coordination between Alpaca's global platform and KSA/GCC market infrastructure.

• Own brokerage products tailored for the Saudi and GCC markets, including equities, Sukuk, ETFs,…
