Senior Product Owner, India

About Us

DriveWealth is on a mission to make investing easier. We believe that everyone should have the ability to control their financial future, and that access to financial markets should not be limited by geography, wealth, or legacy systems. We are a global B2B financial technology organization dedicated to democratizing access to financial independence around the world. Our mission is realized through an API-based platform, empowering our partners to offer seamless investing and trading experiences to clients worldwide, all from their mobile devices. Our technology provides partners with a modern, extensible toolkit, enabling traditional investment workflows and innovative techniques like fractional share ownership. DriveWealth has evolved into a global platform offering trading of US equities, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, and options.

There’s never been a better time to build a category-defining business and there has rarely been a team better positioned for this opportunity. Our culture blends the pace and agility of a fintech start-up with the impact, stability, and discipline of Wall Street. We encourage creativity and experimentation while ensuring institutional-grade execution and regulatory compliance in everything we do. Join us and help build the future of global investing!

About the Role

This is the first product role DriveWealth has placed in-market, and you will own what it becomes. You are the product voice for our partners in India across the full platform: equities, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, and options, plus the account opening and money movement capabilities underneath them. Partners in this market bring requirements that are specific, sometimes ambiguous, and always urgent, and your job is to convert them into scoped, sequenced, shipped work. You will not run a dedicated engineering team. Your leverage comes from judgment, credibility, and your ability to pull the right product owners and engineering leads across the platform onto the right problem. You own the call on which requests become roadmap, which get an alternative solution, and which get a clear no. You will work in close partnership with our regional Head of Sales, and you will represent this function directly to partners and to product leadership. Success in year one looks like partners in India who feel heard, a delivery record they can point to, and a repeatable model we can stand up in the next jurisdiction.

What You’ll Do

• Become the primary product point of contact for our partners in India, and build the relationships that surface real requirements before they become escalations
• Translate partner asks across all asset classes, accounts, and money movement into requirements, user stories, and documentation that other product owners and engineering teams can execute against without a translation layer
• Sequence and track delivery across multiple product domains, holding the through-line from request to launch when no single team owns the whole thing
• Partner with the regional Head of Sales on commercial context, partner priorities, and competitive pressure in-market
• Test every request against platform capability and local jurisdictional requirements, and propose the alternative when the answer is no
• Spot the patterns across requests that point to a platform gap, and drive them into the appropriate domain roadmap yourself
• Decide when to push back, when to escalate, and when to absorb complexity to keep delivery moving, without needing that judgment checked
• Speak for this function in partner, sales, and product leadership forums on status, tradeoffs, and constraints
• Write the playbook for in-market product delivery, with an eye to what should scale to the next jurisdiction
  
  

You Bring

• Minimum 7 years of experience in Financial Services and/or Fintech or equivalent industries, in product management, business analysis, or a senior partner-facing technical role
• Bachelor's Degree in computer science, engineering, finance, or equivalent in relevant experience
• Experience with trading platforms, brokerage, or fintech infrastructure
• Experience analyzing data using SQL and relevant BI tools
• FINRA Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) completion, or a commitment to acquire within the first year with support from your Manager
• A track record of ownership and disciplined execution in high-stakes environments
• The ability to prioritize ruthlessly, focussing on what’s critical versus important to drive work to completion
• A client-oriented mindset with an understanding of how your work impacts partners
• Strength in cross-functional partnership with the judgment to coordinate across multiple teams
• A bias toward transparency, accountability, and responsiveness in everything you do
• You’re committed to continuous improvement and implicitly believe that we > I.
• Impeccable high integrity, sound judgment, and a deep respect for risk, control, and operational excellence

Working at DriveWealth

We do our best work when we're in the same room. To maintain the speed our partners expect, our New York, Chicago, and Lithuania teams work in office on a hybrid schedule. We've found that being physically side-by-side is the only way to solve complex problems in real-time and stay truly accountable to the products we ship. When you're here, you're working directly with the people making the decisions.

To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match. We also offer Medical insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, Disability insurance, and Paid Parental Leave, along with a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and observed holidays.

DriveWealth does not provide visa sponsorship or support for employment authorization, including transfers, at this time. Offers of employment are strictly contingent upon an individual’s ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the Company.

How We Think About AI

We leverage AI to work smarter and move faster. We seek AI-curious talent who are proactive about using emerging tools to increase signal quality, reduce friction, and improve outcomes to deliver products faster, provide better service to our partners, and to streamline processes. Your ability to leverage our internal tools and technology to drive results is as important to us as your core domain expertise.

Compensation

Pay is generally based on the level, complexity, responsibility, location, and job duties/requirements of the specific position. We then source candidates with the requisite skills, expertise, education, training, and experience.  If you are selected for an interview, please feel welcome to speak to a recruiter about our compensation philosophy and other available benefits. This role is eligible for base, bonus, equity, 401(k) match, and heavily subsidized benefits and perks.
