Skills

About the Role

You'll serve as the product authority and primary enabler for the regulated US futures brokerage capabilities that support our parent company and its affiliated entities. This role sits at the intersection of regulated futures operations, financial technology, and product strategy. You'll own the brokerage product roadmap as it serves affiliated-entity initiatives, partnering closely with those entities to understand where they want to go and translating those objectives into compliant, executable, and technically sound product plans. You'll be the person who can sit across from a partner team, understand a novel product ambition, and map a credible path through the US futures regulatory framework and NinjaTrader's technology to make it a reality. You'll work closely with Technology, Compliance, Legal, and senior leadership across both organizations.
