The team

Payward Services is Kraken’s B2B infrastructure platform - built on 15 years of operating history - that enables companies to add digital asset trading, stablecoin payments, custody, staking, lending, and funding rails to their own products through a single integration. Rather than stitching together multiple vendors, partners build on unified infrastructure where execution, custody, compliance, risk, and settlement work in concert.

Within Payward Services, Trade is the product line that powers trading experiences inside partner apps and Kraken 1P interfaces. We help fintechs, banks, brokerages, and platforms offer their customers digital asset trading - spot, derivatives, tokenized equities, recurring buys, limit orders - without building exchange infrastructure from scratch. Our partners’ end users trade inside the partner’s app; we provide everything underneath.

We’re hiring a Sr. Staff Product Manager to drive the Trade product line strategy and execution. Reporting to the Global Head of Payward Services, this is a product-first leadership role. You’ll define what we build, shape how partners integrate it, and work directly with clients to ensure the product succeeds in real-world deployments.

The opportunity

• Drive the Trade product strategy, roadmap, and execution — spanning Convert & Trade, PTL as a Service (custodial and non-custodial), Recurring Buys, Limit Orders, PTL + xStocks, and crypto derivatives (jointly owned with the Derivatives team)

• Build and externalize our Crypto-as-a-Service API suite, enabling B2B2C trading infrastructure for fintechs, banks, and brokerages to embed institutional-grade trading into their products

• Extend the API suite to support more trade types and manage trading workflows for both institutional partners and individual end users

• Broaden access beyond B2B partners to every Kraken account holder, including emerging developers and AI-assisted developers interacting via coding agents and similar tools

• Design systems across order management, execution, custody integration, compliance workflows, and trading UX/API patterns

• Drive partner-led product development by working directly with clients to translate requirements into scalable product decisions and unblock integrations

• Treat the product as the GTM: Trade is adopted because it integrates cleanly and solves partner problems, not because it's sold

• Lead the full product lifecycle from discovery and scoping th
