Product Manager
The Why
At TopstepTrader, individuals fully own their roles and are charged with meaningfully driving results. We work fast and continuously optimize our products to reach more and more traders worldwide.
We recently expanded our product offering into the foreign exchange market (Forex) and have gained exciting traction. Now, we’re looking for an experienced Product Manager (PM) to grow the product in ways that differentiate us from competition and drive value for our users. When we say ‘grow the product’, we’re talking 5x in 2019! We’ve built an eager and smart team to support our Forex product, and we know this will be an exciting opportunity for someone to own the strategic direction of our next big endeavor.
