<h1><strong>Building the Future of Open Finance</strong><br /></h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><br />Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kraken.com/culture"><u>culture page</u></a> to understand what drives us and how we work.</p><h2><strong>The team</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Payward Services is an enterprise infrastructure platform that enables companies to seamlessly integrate trading, payments, funding, and digital asset services through a single unified system. It provides coordinated liquidity, custody, compliance, risk management, and settlement capabilities, reducing operational complexity for fintechs, banks, brokerages, and payment providers.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Within Payward Services, Trading-as-a-Service is the product line that powers trading inside partner apps. We help fintechs, banks, brokerages, and platforms offer their users digital asset trading — spot, derivatives, tokenized equities, recurring buys, limit orders — without building exchange infrastructure from scratch. The partner owns the front end and the brand; we run execution, liquidity, and market connectivity underneath, exposed through modular APIs that go live in weeks, not quarters.<br /><br />We're hiring a Senior PM to drive Trading-as-a-Service. Reporting to the Trading GM, this is a hands-on, builder-first, API-first role. You'll shape what we build, define how partners integrate it, and work directly with clients to make sure the product holds up in real-world deployments. You won't carry a sales quota — but the products you ship directly drive Payward Services revenue.</p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><h2><strong>The opportunity</strong></h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own the roadmap and execution across the Trade surfaces — Convert &amp; Trade, PTL-as-a-Service (custodial and non-custodial), Orderbook/CLOB API, Recurring Buys, Limit Orders, and PTL + xStocks (tokenized equities) — and lead the full lifecycle from discovery through build, launch, and iteration</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Work directly with partners (fintechs, banks, brokerages, platforms) to understand integration requirements, unblock deployments, and ensure product-market fit</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Drive product decisions on trading UX patterns, API design, custody models, and compliance workflows for B2B2C use cases</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Treat the API as the product: design the REST/WebSocket surfaces, auth, webhooks, SDKs, and docs that de
