Senior Product Manager Location: London (Hybrid)
About the Company Our client is a leading global player in the digital asset markets — a crypto-native algorithmic trading firm providing liquidity across major exchanges and trading platforms. Their OTC desk offers a wide range of spot and derivatives products and supports a large base of counterparties spanning both crypto-native and traditional financial institutions. They are also active participants in the broader blockchain ecosystem through DeFi, an investments arm, partnerships, and incubations.
Founded by trading industry veterans, the firm has successfully navigated multiple crypto industry cycles. Culturally, they combine the best of two worlds: the technology standards of high-frequency trading firms in traditional markets and the innovative, entrepreneurial culture of technology startups.
About the Role We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the development of an institutional crypto trading platform, enabling seamless trading experiences for institutional clients. This role owns the end-user trading experience — the customer-facing UIs and execution workflows used daily by institutional clients.
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role with direct impact. You will work closely with engineers, designers, and stakeholders across the business to define, build, and ship a secure, scalable, high-performance trading platform. It is best suited to PMs who are hands-on builders and delivery-driven.

Partner with engineering, infrastructure, and security teams on technical feasibility, architecture, and cybersecurity standards. Use Python for automation, prototyping, and light data analysis as needed. Ensure integration with market data feeds and execution systems using the FIX protocol. Maintain a focus on system latency, ensuring low-latency execution pathways and minimizing delays across the platform.
Required Qualifications Demonstrated experience owning and shipping customer-facing UI products used by external users. 5+ years in a technical Product Manager role, ideally in fintech, crypto, or capital markets. Strong technical background — able to engage deeply with engineers on system design and infrastructure to deliver complex, customer-facing products. Proficiency in Python scripting for basic automation or data parsing. Awareness of latency-critical systems and the ability to make trade-offs between speed, scalability, and reliability.
