[Hiring] Brokerage Services Product Manager @TradeStation

Role Description

We are looking for an AI-forward Product Manager with experience in core brokerage systems, including middle office operations, order management, and post-trade workflows. This role is central to executing TradeStation’s platform modernization efforts, with a focus on delivering complex vendor integration programs and enhancing the core brokerage experience for customers.

The Product Manager will be comfortable operating within our Spec-Driven Development (SDD) process, using structured specs, epic decompositions, and acceptance criteria — paired with AI tooling — to translate business requirements into engineering-ready detail with precision and full requirements traceability.

This is a hands-on role working closely with Technology, Operations, Compliance, and external vendors to ensure our brokerage platform is modern, scalable, and aligned with customer needs.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Serve as Product Manager across all areas of the brokerage product portfolio, moving fluidly between product areas to set direction, unblock delivery, and ensure initiatives ship with quality.
• Play the product role on our middle office and OMS replacement project – partnering with Technology, Operations, Compliance, and external vendors to define requirements, sequence delivery, and drive the platform modernization effort to successful implementation.
• Own and advance brokerage compliance and regulatory initiatives – translating regulatory and audit requirements into clear product requirements, and ensuring changes to brokerage systems and workflows meet US brokerage regulatory obligations.
• Author and maintain structured specs — PRDs, epic decompositions, and acceptance criteria — within TradeStation’s Spec-Driven Development (SDD) process, ensuring full requirements traceability from business intake through engineering handoff.
• Use AI tools to accelerate spec authoring, epic/story decomposition, gap analysis, and requirements coverage tracking.
• Define and track KPIs for core brokerage product areas, including operational efficiency, customer experience, and platform stability.
• Maintain and communicate product roadmaps with clear visibility across stakeholders.
• Leverage AI and LLM tools to streamline workflows, improve data quality, and reduce operational complexity.
• Engage with customers and internal teams to identify friction points and deliver solutions that improve the core trading experience.
• Conduct competitive and industry research to stay ahead of technological trends and evolving customer expectations.
• Develop detailed business requirements and partner with Engineering to ensure high-quality execution.
• Continuously evaluate and improve business processes to drive scale, efficiency, and better customer outcomes.
• Define and deliver measurable outcomes aligned to strategic objectives. Set KPIs for your product areas and drive performance using data and experimentation.
• Own quarterly KPI reviews across product areas under management; ensure cross-functional teams are aligned to deliver against targets, and proactively course-correct where needed.

Qualifications

• Genuine enthusiasm for AI-forward ways of working — not just tool literacy, but a mindset of using AI to move faster and with more rigor.
• Comfortable operating in a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) process — writing and iterating on structured specs, epics, and acceptance criteria with full requirements traceability.
• Hands-on proficiency with AI-assisted product tools for spec authoring, decomposition, and gap analysis.
• Strong execution of product management responsibilities in an agile environment.
• Experience with middle office systems, post-trade workflows, and brokerage operations.
