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.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive new product initiatives and manage a portfolio of existing products across EU markets.
• Shape the product strategy that enables Alpaca to scale its brokerage infrastructure across the EU.
• Decide what we build versus buy, how we sequence the region’s roadmap, and which partnerships and connectivity paths get us there.
• Ship the brokerage features, tax-wrapper functionality, integrations, and operational workflows that partners and institutional clients depend on every day.

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-Haves

  • 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.
