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.

This role is equal parts strategy and delivery. You'll decide what we build versus buy, how we sequence the region’s roadmap, and which partnerships and connectivity paths get us there - and then ship the brokerage features, tax-wrapper functionality, integrations, and operational workflows that partners and institutional clients depend on every day.

• The rest of the EU roadmap: prioritizing and delivering the next wave of brokerage capabilities across equities, ETFs, and regional market needs.

• EU direct connectivity: building and owning connectivity to EU venues and market infrastructure, reducing reliance on intermediary paths.

• EU broker partnerships: evaluating, onboarding, and integrating local brokers to expand coverage and resilience.

• Cross-border complexity: passporting, multi-jurisdiction onboarding, and coordinating between Alpaca's global platform and EU market infrastructure.

• Tax and tax wrappers: building tax-wrapper account functionality (e.g. PEA / PEA-PME, ISK, PIR) and the tax surface underneath it - tax lots / cost basis, dividend withholding, WHT reclaim, and cou...
