Senior Product Manager - Brokerage

About Slay Markets We are building a modern brokerage for both retail and professional traders. Right now, we offer multi-asset trading across equities, ETFs, options, and alternative assets, backed by fast tech, reliable data, and a customer support experience that isn't an afterthought. We’re putting together a team of sharp, execution-focused professionals who care about getting the details right and changing what people expect from a brokerage. If you want to work somewhere that combines high ambition with real integrity, you’ll fit right in. The Opportunity As our Brokerage Product Manager, you will take the reins of our trading platform and user experience.
