Who We Are

At OKX, we believe that the future will be reshaped by crypto, and ultimately contribute to every individual's freedom.

OKX is a leading crypto exchange, and the developer of OKX Wallet, giving millions access to crypto trading and decentralized crypto applications (dApps). OKX is also a trusted brand by hundreds of large institutions seeking access to crypto markets. We are safe and reliable, backed by our Proof of Reserves.

Across our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: We Before Me, Do the Right Thing, and Get Things Done. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er.

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior or Lead Product Manager to lead the strategy, development, and continuous improvement of our professional trading tools and end-to-end trading experience.

This role is focused on products for active and professional traders. The scope includes advanced market analysis, trading workflows, order execution, position and risk management, workspace customisation, and selected automation capabilities.

You will develop a deep understanding of how professional traders use leading platforms such as TradingView, 3Commas, Bookmap, ATAS, and Quantower, and translate those insights into a differentiated, reliable, and intuitive trading experience.

Experience in the crypto industry is a strong plus. We welcome candidates who have built professional trading products for equities, futures, options, FX, commodities, or other electronic markets. Experience with crypto markets and products is a strong advantage.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and delivery of professional trading tools and the broader trading experience.

Build a deep understanding of active and professional traders, including their daily workflows, trading behaviours, pain points, and expectations.

Lead the development and improvement of market analysis, charting, order execution, position management, account monitoring, and workspace customisation.

Identify opportunities to introduce advanced trading and automation capabilities that improve efficiency while keeping users in control of their trading decisions.

Improve the quality of the end-to-end trading journey, from discovering an opportunity and placing an order through execution, position monitoring, and post-trade review.

Ensure the product meets professional standards for performance, stability, accuracy, usability, and transparency, particularly during periods of high market volatility.

Conduct structured user research and competitor analysis across professional trading terminals, charting platforms, and trading automation products.

Define product success metrics and use customer feedback, behavioural data, and trading data to evaluate performance and guide priorities.

Work closely with engineering, design, data, quantitative research, risk, compliance, operations, customer support, and commercial teams.

Translate complex trader needs and market concepts into clear product requirements and intuitive user experiences.

Manage technical and commercial trade-offs, dependencies, and delivery risks across multiple teams and product areas.

Communicate product strategy, priorities, and outcomes clearly to senior stakeholders and distributed teams.

Support and mentor other product managers and contribute to the broader trading product strategy

What We Look For In You

5-7+ years of product management experience, with a strong track record of delivering complex user-facing products.

Meaningful experience building professional trading tools, trading terminals, charting or market-data products, execution products, or trading automation solutions.

Relevant experience may come from equities, futures, options, FX, commodities, multi-asset platforms, or crypto. Direct experience at a crypto company is not required.

Strong understanding of electronic trading workflows, including market data, order placement and execution, position management, margin, P&L, and risk controls.

Familiarity with leading professional trading products such as TradingView, 3Commas, Bookmap, ATAS, Quantower, or comparable platforms.

A strong understanding of the needs of active traders and the ability to simplify sophisticated trading workflows without removing essential control or flexibility.

Experience owning the full product lifecycle, including research, strategy, prioritisation, requirements, delivery, launch, measurement, and iteration.

Strong product judgement and the ability to balance customer value, usability, technical complexity, business impact, operational risk, and regulatory requirements.

Demonstrated ability to use qualitative research and quantitative data to make product decisions.

Experience working closely with engineering and design teams on real-time, data-intensive, or high-performance products.

Strong cross-functional leadership and the ability to influence teams and senior stakeholders without relying on formal authority.

Ability to operate independently, manage ambiguity, and deliver results in a fast-moving, remote-friendly environment.

Excellent written and spoken English. English is the working language for meetings, documentation, and daily collaboration.

Nice to Haves 

Experience with crypto spot, perpetual futures, options, CEX, DEX, or on-chain trading products.

Hands-on familiarity with professional trading platforms or experience as an active trader.

Experience with advanced trading features, algorithmic execution, trading automation, or exchange connectivity.
