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 added new contracts in the futures market, both of which have gained exciting traction. Now, we’re looking for an experienced Product Manager (PM) to grow our product suite in ways that differentiate us from the competition, drive value for our users and expand our market. When we say ‘grow the product’, we’re talking 50% growth in 2020! We are building an eager and smart team, and we know this will be an exciting opportunity for someone to continue to expand our market and reach more traders worldwide.

Excited about this opportunity? Read on, keeping in mind that we strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. Each new hire is an opportunity for us to bring in a different perspective, and we are always eager to further diversify our company. Topstep believes that diverse people and ideas result in better business, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where you can thrive.

The Role, along with everything you’d expect

• The role is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Product Manager to grow into a Senior PM.
• Guide improvements to the funded trader product line profitability through product features and/or additional monetization strategies..
• Engage and collaborate with smart people from across the organization to create and implement the product roadmap, while also communicating progress to all stakeholders and senior leadership.
• Autonomy to define the “what” of our key initiatives by understanding the competition, users and company abilities and constraints.
• Drive product planning and execution throughout the product lifecycle, including: gathering and prioritizing product and customer requirements, and working closely with engineering, marketing and trader support to ensure key results are met.
• Bring innovation to bear on the company's product lines and ability to serve its customers.
• Make and own the hard decisions and trade-offs that emerge during product delivery when things don’t go exactly as planned.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience as a Product Manager at a SaaS technology company, with demonstrated success. We need someone who can hit the ground running, so examples of strategic thinking, effective communication to senior leadership, and an understanding of the software development process are essential

• Previous experience mentoring and leading a team. We believe in the well-being of our team, so capable leaders are extremely important

• Ability and tendency to balance the value of qualitative and quantitative data. We value data as much as the next tech company, but you’re here for a reason, as is our entire intelligent team, so we always weigh both

• Cat herder extraordinaire! Relationship management, ability to work effectively with internal and external teams, and overall accountability are crucial. We are a small company and are not short on ideas. Being able to prioritize initiatives and gain consensus is essential. We say our Product Managers carry a “Bag of hammers of differing hardness” with the ability to keep the team focused on the right priorities

• Servant leader mindset (and skillset). We are a team and everyone needs to be willing to do whatever is needed to get the job done

• Ability to manage stakeholders. Be able to lead and facilitate discussions among a wide group of stakeholders (engineering, business units and external clients)

• Innovative. We need someone who will naturally be excited to find ways to reinvent the process, making it better, faster and stronger
