Your Role

Alpaca is building the infrastructure layer that partners across Europe use to launch and scale brokerage products. We're expanding our EU footprint - with growing market access, a regional roadmap, and ambitions across equities, ETFs, derivatives, direct connectivity, securities lending, tax reporting, and tax-wrapper products. We're hiring a Product Manager to own that expansion end-to-end: define the strategy, ship the products, and work with regulators, partners, and internal teams to make Alpaca the brokerage platform of choice across the EU.

We're seeking a Product Manager to define and drive new product initiatives and manage a portfolio of existing products across EU markets. With a deep understanding of the regional regulatory landscape, including MiFID II / MiFIR, ESMA, CSDR, national competent-authority frameworks, and member-state tax and tax-wrapper regimes, you will shape the product strategy that enables Alpaca to scale its brokerage infrastructure across the EU.

Responsibilities

Own brokerage products tailored for EU markets, including equities, ETFs, tax-wrapper accounts, and related regional offerings.
Own the EU tax and tax-wrapper product surface end-to-end: wrapper eligibility and contribution rules, tax-lot / cost-basis tracking, withholding and reclaim, and the local reporting files partners and end-users need to stay compliant.
Drive brokerage product strategy by analyzing ROI, regional market competition, regulatory requirements, and build-vs-buy scenarios.
Build and execute the product roadmap with a focus on MiFID II / MiFIR-compliant features and regional market needs.
Write product requirements and work with engineers to execute programs that meet local regulatory and market standards.
Improve brokerage operation efficiency by providing solutions and owning the metrics, with a focus on regional settlement, custody, and clearing workflows.
Lead customer calls around brokerage process and product issues to gain insights and translate them into product improvements for EU clients.
Report timely and accurately on product status and results to internal and external stakeholders, including regional partners and institutional clients.
Collaborate with local operations teams to ensure seamless integration between Alpaca's global platform and EU market infrastructure.

Requirements (Must-Haves)

Excited about what Alpaca is building and passionate about expanding financial infrastructure across the EU.
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, finance, or equivalent.
5+ years of experience in Product Management, Engineering, Consulting, and/or starting a startup, preferably within financial services or fintech.
Demonstrated interest and experience in brokerage, capital markets, or fintech within the EU.
Strong understanding of MiFID II / MiFIR, ESMA, the EU capital markets landscape, and how member-state tax and tax-wrapper rules shape product design.
Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal, with excellent collaboration abilities.
Business acumen to understand tradeoffs between stakeholders and technology feasibility with time and budget constraints.

Nice to Have (Optional)

Experience and background working on and developing brokerage products in EU markets.
Technical background working with APIs, particularly in financial services or trading platforms.
Familiarity with CSDR, EMIR, T2S, or CSD connectivity.
Hands-on experience shipping tax-wrapper or tax-reporting products (e.g. PEA / PEA-PME, ISK, PIR), including tax lots, withholding, and local reporting files.
Experience working with cross-border / passporting investment products.
Additional EU language(s) beyond English.
Experience working at a fintech, startup, or EU-authorized investment firm.
