We're looking for an exceptional Futures Risk Program Manager to help shape the future of our core platforms, products, and customer experiences.

• Establish the strategic governance and prompt-design frameworks for AI-native trading assistants and LLM-generated market insights, ensuring machine-generated content adheres to strict financial disclosure standards and algorithmic transparency requirements.
• Interpret evolving SEC and FINRA regulatory mandates to proactively steer product direction and architect communication strategies that mitigate systemic legal risk.
• Lead the strategic design and end-to-end evolution for brand-new financial instruments and asset classes from initial concept to global launch.
• Direct the mentorship and capability building of junior designers, focusing on complex market mechanics, AI-integrated design workflows, and internal content-governance tooling.
• Define the unified content logic and high-precision accuracy standards for real-time market data visualizations and multi-channel order-entry systems across iOS, Android, and Web platforms.
• Establish frameworks for using quantitative telemetry (conversion funnels, error rates) and qualitative research to optimize the end-to-end algorithmic content ecosystem, ensuring high- precision accuracy across the Core Trading user journey.
• Define requirements for internal content management systems and localization workflows to ensure the rapid deployment of high-stakes regulatory alerts and multi-region product launches.
