About the Role
The VP, Product owns the product roadmap for PEAK6 Capital Management, delivering platforms, tools, and AI agents for the trading desk. The focus is on creating fast, reliable products that provide a competitive edge, with success measured by performance and efficiency gains. This role leads the shift towards systems that work alongside traders, defining the autonomy of AI agents and building trust. The ideal candidate is a decisive product leader who treats the roadmap as a portfolio of bets and experiments, leading a lean team and driving growth across PEAK6 businesses.
Responsibilities
- Set direction and own the product vision and roadmap for the trading desk, tying major bets to measurable outcomes in trader performance, efficiency, or risk.
- Decide what gets built, what waits, and what stops, balancing stakeholder demands without becoming an order taker.
- Run the roadmap as a set of experiments, naming hypotheses, testing risky assumptions first, and scaling or killing based on evidence.
- Define and ship agents that monitor markets and positions, surface ideas, stage orders, and automate follow-through across OMS, EMS, and risk platforms.
- Set the autonomy model for agents, defining where they act independently, recommend, require trader confirmation, and what evidence is needed to grant more autonomy.
- Design trust into the product through evaluations, guardrails, audit trails, explainability, and clean handoffs between agents and people, in partnership with Risk and Compliance.
- Find and remove manual touchpoints across the trade lifecycle by choosing between process changes, agents, buy/partner options, or new builds.
- Build an agent-native product team that uses AI to speed up discovery, prototyping, requirements, testing, and analysis.
- Partner with Engineering across the full lifecycle, from initiation and build/buy/partner analysis through design, testing, release, and adoption.
- Step in directly on requirements, testing, and release when the team needs support.
- Lead, coach, and develop a lean team of product managers with clear goals, fast feedback, and high standards.
- Build a product operating model and agentic playbook that can be applied to other PEAK6 businesses.
- Over time, take on broader PEAK6 product leadership, including direct or dotted-line oversight of smaller businesses, and share platforms, patterns, and lessons across the group.
Requirements
- 7 or more years in product management, including at least several years as product lead owning a roadmap end to end.
- A track record of shipping products that users adopted and that moved a measurable business outcome.
- Strong opinions, held with evidence, with the ability to explain rationale, defend under pushback, and change mind based on data.
- Ability to demonstrate both vision and detail, describing future product states and writing requirements/testing releases to achieve them.
- Hands-on fluency with AI and agents, using them in daily work and having built or shipped products where AI performs significant tasks.
- Sound judgment on autonomy and trust, with the ability to evaluate agent performance, design human-in-the-loop controls, and expand autonomy based on evidence.
- Credibility with expert users, able to speak their language, earn trust, and push back constructively on requests.
- Sufficient technical depth to partner closely with engineering on architecture, data, and integration tradeoffs.
- Comfort with pace and ambiguity, able to move quickly, manage multiple high-stakes efforts, and remain effective when priorities shift.
- A builder's instinct and the discipline of an operator, deriving energy from creating new products and establishing necessary processes for reliable delivery.
- Ideally experience working in a regulated environment alongside Risk, Compliance, and Legal, treating them as design partners.
- Ideally trading or financial markets experience, ideally options, OMS, EMS, or risk systems, with a vision for the future of these workflows.
- Ambition and range to grow past a single business, with an interest in leading product across a group of businesses.
