Senior Product Manager - Brokerage

ABOUT SLAY MARKETS

We are building a modern brokerage for both retail and professional traders. Right now, we offer multi-asset trading across equities, ETFs, options, and alternative assets, backed by fast tech, reliable data, and a customer support experience that isn't an afterthought.

We’re putting together a team of sharp, execution-focused professionals who care about getting the details right and changing what people expect from a brokerage. If you want to work somewhere that combines high ambition with real integrity, you’ll fit right in.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As our Brokerage Product Manager, you will take the reins of our trading platform and user experience. Because we just launched, this isn't a role where you'll be managing slow, incremental corporate updates. You’ll be deciding what we build next. Your job is to take raw trader feedback, filter it through strict regulatory rules, and collaborate directly with engineering, design, compliance, and NinjaTrader to ship a great platform that holds up in a highly regulated market.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

PRODUCT STRATEGY & ROADMAP

• Own the product vision and roadmap for Slay Markets, prioritizing features and new offerings (e.g., new asset classes, prediction markets, account funding, trading tools) based on trader needs, business goals, and regulatory reality

• Gather and synthesize input from business stakeholders and executive leadership (alongside trader feedback) to shape product direction and requirements

• Translate Tradeify's and Slay Markets' broader strategy into a concrete, sequenced roadmap that the team can execute against

• Make and defend prioritization calls, balancing speed with the compliance and risk requirements of a regulated futures brokerage

• Define and track success metrics for shipped features (adoption, funding conversion, retention, engagement) and use them to inform what's next

DISCOVERY, REQUIREMENTS & DELIVERY

• Talk to traders, including Tradeify's funded-trader community transitioning into live brokerage accounts, to understand friction points, feature gaps, and unmet needs

• Write clear PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria; partner with engineering and design through discovery, build, QA, and launch

• Run product discovery and validation for new features before committing engineering resources

• Own the product backlog, sprint priorities, and release plans in partnership with engineering leads

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL & PARTNER ALIGNMENT

• Partner with Compliance early and often so new features and products clear NFA/CFTC review and recordkeeping requirements before launch, not after

• Work directly with FCM/clearing partner NinjaTrader on platform capabilities, API/integration constraints, and joint roadmap dependencies

• Coordinate with the Tradeify prop trading team on initiatives that span both businesses (e.g., the funded-trader-to-brokerage account journey)

• Communicate roadmap, trade-offs, and launch status clearly to engineering, operations, support, marketing, and leadership

• Work closely between business stakeholders and engineering: translate business goals into technically-grounded requirements, and track work through the product lifecycle (discovery → build → QA → launch → iteration)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience

• 3–5 years of product management experience, ideally at a brokerage, FCM, introducing broker, fintech, or other regulated financial services company

• Track record of owning a product roadmap end-to-end, from discovery and prioritization through shipping and measuring results

• Comfort partnering with compliance and regulatory stakeholders to design features that are viable under NFA/CFTC oversight, not just technically feasible

• Strong written and verbal communication skills: able to write clear specs and align technical, compliance, and business stakeholders around a decision

• Data-informed decision-making; comfortable defining metrics and using them to prioritize and evaluate features

• Experience working directly with engineering and design teams in an agile environment; familiarity with tools like Jira, Linear, or Productboard

• High ownership mentality, strong judgment under ambiguity, and a bias toward shipping in a fast-paced startup environment

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience building products at a futures brokerage, FCM, introducing broker, or proprietary trading firm

• Familiarity with NinjaTrader, CME Group products, or futures/derivatives trading platforms

• Experience designing client onboarding, KYC/AML, or account-funding flows

• Background in trading, market structure, or financial products (equities, futures, options, prediction markets)

• Experience shipping 0-to-1 products or launching a new platform/business line

• Series 3 registration or willingness to obtain it (the firm will support registration for the right candidate)

WHY JOIN SLAY MARKETS

• Be part of a modern, fast-growing brokerage redefining the retail trading experience

• Collaborative, ambitious team that takes the work seriously and supports each other

• Competitive compensation with performance bonuses and clear career progression

• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) with employer match

• Investment in your professional development: licensing support, tuition reimbursement, and more

• Opportunity to build project management infrastructure from the ground up and grow into a senior program leadership role as the firm scales; NFA Associated Person registration supported for the right candidate
