We are seeking a commercially driven, technically sharp Senior Product Manager to own and lead the flagship trading platform and API that underpins key portions of global energy trading. Sitting at the intersection of complex trading technology, market data feeds, and client execution workflows, you will turn algorithmic trading and connectivity challenges into innovative products that meaningfully boost adoption and revenue.
The Role
You will lead the strategy for venue connectivity—from onboarding new execution venues to managing real-time market data integration. Working closely with external counterparties, exchanges, and brokers, you will navigate technical changes and API upgrades to guarantee uninterrupted connectivity across aggregated markets. You are as comfortable discussing API specifications and trade flows with developers as you are presenting new commercial opportunities to executive stakeholders. Your goal is simple: build fast, protect continuous market access, eliminate client friction in the algo space, and drive bottom-line growth.
Responsibilities
- Vision & Revenue: Own the roadmap for Trayport’s trading platform and API; identify market opportunities and launch innovative commercial offerings to generate new revenue streams.
- Venue Connectivity & Market Data: Lead the integration of new execution venues and market data feeds. Partner with exchanges and brokers to manage protocol changes and enhance low latency capabilities.
- Technical Depth & APIs: Collaborate closely with engineering, translating complex technical capability into clear client value. Work directly with clients’ technical teams to shape the long term strategy for Trayport’s API offerings.
- Domain Expertise: Act as the subject matter expert on trading workflows and advanced algo execution strategies, providing clients with a competitive edge while meeting strict regulatory requirements.
- Agile Delivery: Champion a pragmatic "build fast, test, iterate" approach. Write strategic Epics and granular user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
- Client Advocacy: Engage directly with traders, present prototypes, and track quantitative metrics to validate product-market fit.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Align Sales, Support, Marketing, and Engineering to accelerate time-to-market and adoption.
Skills & Experience
- Domain Expertise: Proven track record as a Senior Product Manager (or equivalent) in trading software, with deep hands-on exposure to algorithmic trading, order types, execution strategies, market microstructure and compliance requirements.
- Technical Acumen: Strong understanding of APIs and platform architecture. Ability to hold detailed technical conversations with developers while maintaining absolute focus on customer outcomes.
- Commercial Acumen: Proven ability to build solid business cases, design pricing models, and deliver measurable ROI.
- Agile Mastery: Practical experience applying agile principles—prioritising effectively, shipping MVPs early, and acting on rapid user feedback.
- Stakeholder & Communication Skills: Outstanding ability to build rapport with institutional traders, communicate complex concepts clearly, and manage expectations across senior internal leadership.
Personal Attributes
- Commercially Minded & Client-Centric: Dedicated to client success and bottom-line impact.
- Pragmatic Problem Solver: Able to navigate complex technical ambiguity and reduce it to simple, actionable solutions.
- Driven & Outcome-Focused: Proactive self-starter who measures success by delivered value, not just output.
