[Hiring] Active Trader Sales: Options Lead @Public

Role Description

You'll own the acquisition, advocacy, and retention of high-volume options traders at Public by working across every function and leveraging every asset we have to bring them onto the platform. That means:

• Building and maintaining a pipeline of high-potential prospects from both Public-generated and outbound channels.
• Identifying and working with external partners to hit your goals.
• Focusing on options volume as your north star.
• Meeting traders where they are and doing whatever it takes (within regulatory limits) to bring that volume to Public.

You'll be the connective tissue between our product and the trader community by:

• Evangelizing our AI Agents, API access, and options tooling to the traders who'll push them hardest.
• Channeling feedback to product and engineering.
• Knowing our API and agentic capabilities well enough to demo them credibly.

This is a role for someone who works well independently and enjoys owning their approach. You'll have:

• Real autonomy and a clear target.
• Flexibility to figure out the path that works best.

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience working in a premier consumer finance and/or capital markets organization.
• Series 7, Series 4 and/or 63/66 (or immediate path to completing).

• Track record of sales and/or direct customer acquisition success.
• Experience working within regulatory compliance constraints to deliver business outcomes.
• Ability to build processes and approaches for acquiring clients from a blank slate.
• Creative problem solver on behalf of company and clients.
• Ability to represent the firm and speak publicly, including in options-trader communities.
• Intellectual curiosity.
• Active Public member and options trader (sign up today!).

Requirements

• Deep understanding of all tools and asset classes in an active trader's arsenal, with options as your specialty.
• Existing relationships or credibility within options-trading communities (Discord, X/FinTwit, Reddit, trading meetups, etc.).
• Experience working with or selling to API-based and high-frequency options traders.
• Equity capital markets, trading, and/or research experience.
• Experience with markets and financial data (e.g., exchange data, options chains, fundamental data).
• Ability to use modern AI tools to scale your productivity and impact.
• Fluency with data (and interest in learning) SQL and/or Python programming languages.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.
• Uncapped bonus structure based on sales performance.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans.
• Generous PTO and parental leave policy.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Opportunities for career growth and professional development.
