Product Manager - Global Products

Job description

## **About Us:** **Pluang** is Indonesia's leading multi-asset investment platform, offering diverse products such as Crypto, US Stocks, Mutual Funds, and Gold. With a mission to redefine investing, we provide a seamless, innovative, and secure experience to empower millions of Indonesians to achieve financial independence. Backed by $110M+ in funding from global investors like Accel and Openspace Ventures, we are one of Indonesia's fastest-growing fintechs. ## **Role Overview:** We are hiring a Product Manager to **own** the US Stocks and derivatives business within our Global Products team. This is not a delivery-coordination role: you are accountable end-to-end for the product — its economics, its systems, its launches, and its failures. You will operate in a complex brokerage environment (liquidity providers, corporate actions, margin/leverage, multi-currency portfolios) where the cost of shallow understanding is measured in real money. Join Pluang and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of investing in Indonesia. ## **What You Will Do:** - **End-to-End Business Ownership (US Stocks & Derivatives)** - Own the full lifecycle of GSS initiatives — from first-principles problem definition through PRD, build, launch, and post-launch P&L — not just the execution of a handed-down roadmap. - Be accountable for the commercial outcome: track revenue, adoption, and unit economics weekly; if a feature isn't making money, diagnosing why is your job before anyone asks. - Treat anything that impacts your product as your problem — including partner outages, compliance blockers, and downstream team dependencies. - **Domain-Deep Product Delivery** - Manage detailed execution of roadmap items across US Stocks, ETFs, IPOs, leverage trading, and derivative products — grounded in real understanding of order lifecycles, settlement, corporate actions, margin, FX translation, and broker economics. - Translate strategy into PRDs, user stories, and simulations you have personally stress-tested; you should be the most knowledgeable person in the room on your own workstream. - Sequence work by impact, not by arrival order: distinguish the steps that need deep thinking from the steps that are just writing, and allocate your effort accordingly. - **Cross-Functional & Partner Coordination** - Drive execution across engineering, design, QA, compliance, operations, and external partners (liquidity providers, market-data vendors), acting as the primary interface to third parties. - Escalate early and communicate proactively — surface risks and blockers the day you see them, with a recommended answer attached, never sitting on them. - **Documentation & Decision Hygiene** - Maintain rigorous written artifacts: no significant conversation, decision, or handoff without a structured document. PRDs, SOPs, and runbooks must be written to be consumed — with intent, indexing, and format. - Ask questions early and in context; validate assumptions before building on them. - **Data-Driven Optimization and Experimentation** - Execute structured experimentation (e.g., A/B tests), analyze user data, and use insights to iteratively improve features and conversion funnels. - Evaluate product performance through user behavior analysis and benchmarking, proactively recommending improvements. ## **What We're Looking For:** - **Qualifications:** - 4+ years in product management, with **mandatory** experience in brokerage, trading platforms, or capital-markets fintech. - **Working knowledge of market mechanics is a hard requirement**: order types and lifecycle, settlement, corporate actions, margin and leverage, FX exposure, and broker/LP economics. Candidates will be tested on this in interviews. - Demonstrated history of owning a product P&L or business metric — not just shipping features. - **Skills & Competencies:** - **Judgment under load**: able to rank tasks by business impact ("equity"), sequence them correctly, and defend the ranking — we screen for this explicitly with prioritization cases. - Systems thinking: can trace a feature end-to-end across frontend, backend, partner APIs, and ops workflows rather than treating pieces in isolation. - Strong written communication: structured documents, decision logs, and stakeholder updates as a default habit. - Proficient analytical capabilities to support data-driven experimentation and decision-making. - **Mindset:** - **Owner, not executor**: takes unprompted initiative to expand scope, hunts for wins, and holds themselves accountable for outcomes they weren't explicitly assigned. - Self-directed learner: closes knowledge gaps proactively using every available resource (including AI tools); asks early rather than assuming. - Comfortable being challenged on fundamentals and expecting the same rigor of others. **Preferred Experience:** - Direct exposure to IPO/primary-market workflows, CFDs, options, or commodities trading. - Familiarity with regulatory compliance and operational considerations within fintech products. - Experience managing third-party broker/LP integrations (e.g., Alpaca-type partners). ## **Why Pluang?** **Pluang Offers:** - Attractive compensation package - competitive salary, flexible bonus scheme. - We are always looking for ways to promote and inspire innovation. So, come build your dream with us. - Flexible career path - management and technical career growth, enhanced by learning and development program, regular performance assessment, teams of multi-national IT professionals. - Healthy work environment - company-sponsored medical program, food, and beverage program, open communication. - Friendly policies to support Work-life balance, team building, and celebrations. - We are an equal-opportunity employer and value div
