Senior Product Manager, OTC Trading

About Us

Bakkt (NYSE: BKKT) is a regulated financial technology company building a financial operating system for the AI and token economy.

Through Bakkt Markets, Bakkt Agent and Bakkt Global, the Company operates regulated infrastructure for trading, stablecoin settlement and cross-border payments; intelligence and distribution capabilities for financial products; and strategic access to differentiated assets and global markets. Bakkt serves financial institutions, fintechs and consumer brands seeking to deliver trusted financial services at scale.

Bakkt is building an institutional OTC trading business. We are looking for a product manager to work with the Markets team and engineering to deliver a full OTC trading experience for our clients across API, GUI and voice/chat. You will turn the desk's requirements into a sequenced roadmap and get it delivered: with our own engineers where we build, and with external vendors and partners where we don't. The desk operates across more than one regulated Bakkt entity, so you will work across jurisdictions, banking partners and liquidity providers from day one.

Responsibilities

• Turn Markets requirements into clear product specs, priorities and a delivery plan across client channels: API (REST and WebSocket streaming), GUI, and voice/chat.
• Run delivery with internal engineering, and with external vendors and partners: liquidity providers, banking partners, custody, OMS and build partners.
• Own the product side of the trade lifecycle, from quote and execution through hedge, settlement and ledger, working with Treasury and Operations.
• Act as technical product owner for LP and bank integrations, through testing and go-live.
• Work with Compliance and Legal to build their requirements into product controls, client onboarding flows and reporting.
• Keep one current roadmap and delivery status for Markets and leadership.

Requirements

• 5+ years in product management or technical delivery in trading, FX, payments or digital asset infrastructure.
• Hands-on comfort with APIs (REST, WebSocket), event-driven systems and settlement flows; able to work through integration issues with engineers.
• A record of managing third-party vendors and integrations to a deadline.
• Clear written specs, and the ability to align Markets, Engineering, Compliance and Treasury on one plan.

Benefits

• A central role in launching a new institutional trading business, working directly with the Markets team.
• Exposure to senior leadership and key strategic decisions.
• Room to grow with the business as the desk expands into new products and regions.
• Comprehensive benefits package.

Additional information

Strong plus: knowledge of OTC execution models (RFQ, RFS, riskless principal), stablecoin settlement, and KYC/AML requirements for institutional clients.
