Job summary

IMC Trading is seeking a Technical Product Manager to lead trader-facing tools that sit at the heart of how we trade. You will drive product strategy at the intersection of trading and engineering, shaping workflows, visualizations, and interactions where speed and clarity matter.

You will own end-to-end initiatives, collaborate with traders and engineers, and ensure delivery of high-impact interfaces that improve trading performance.

Qualifications

• Experience owning and driving complex products that are the central focus of a user’s daily work.
• Background in trading, financial markets, trading systems, or closely related domains is ideal but not required.
• Strong intuition for how users interact with tools under time pressure, and how design choices affect decision making.

• Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear direction and execution.
• Clear and effective communicator across disciplines.

• Partner closely with traders to understand daily workflows, decision making, and trading patterns.

• Translate trader insights and business needs into clear product goals, priorities, and requirements.
• Own initiatives end to end, from problem definition and scoping through delivery, iteration, and adoption with development teams.
• Obsess over workflow efficiency, recognizing that every click, keystroke, and visual element matters.
• Identify opportunities to share common patterns and tools across desks, but also decide when it makes sense to deviate.
• Communicate product direction, priorities, risks, and progress clearly to trading, engineering, and related teams.
• Surface dependencies and risks early, see them before they become blockers.
