What We Are Looking For :

This role is critical to executing TradeStation’s multi-year platform transformation. The Director will lead foundational infrastructure efforts—in Security Master and market data system modernization—with direct accountability for delivering key project milestones.

We are looking for a Director of Product Management with deep experience in equities, options, and futures market data, and a track record of building trading infrastructure that scales. This role reports to the Senior Director of Product Management and joins a team of high-performing product leaders driving our brokerage platform forward.

You are outcome-obsessed : able to define success, set KPIs aligned with business goals, and drive measurable progress across cross-functional teams.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Own the future of market data at TradeStation : manage vendor integrations, platform modernization, contract negotiations, and budget allocations
• Lead the delivery and implementation of TradeStation’s new Security Master infrastructure, ensuring scalable integration with OMS and downstream systems
• 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
• Regularly communicate progress to senior leadership, tying product milestones to business impact (e.g., latency reduction, data quality improvements, reduced vendor costs, enhanced entitlements, etc.)
• Develop and maintain product roadmaps with clear visibility and alignment across internal and external stakeholders
• Leverage AI and LLM tools to accelerate delivery, improve data quality, and reduce operational complexity—not just for speed, but for measurable business outcomes
• Engage deeply with customers and vendors to identify opportunities, resolve friction points, and deliver differentiated market data solutions
• Assess and present new product opportunities across equities, options, market data, corporate actions, and security master infrastructure
• Shape the company’s product vision and differentiation strategy in collaboration with brokerage leadership for market data and related infrastructure
• Direct the full product lifecycle , from opportunity identification through launch, working cross-functionally with Technology, Operations, Vendors, Compliance, and other departments
• Conduct competitive and industry research to stay ahead of technology trends, regulatory requirements, and evolving customer needs
• Develop detailed business requirements and partner closely with Engineering teams to ensure high-quality execution
• Ensure regulatory and audit compliance , including data entitlements, customer disclosures, and exchange reporting obligations
• Direct and manage exchange and vendor relationships , including contract negotiations, performance oversight, and vendor strategy alignment
