About Betterment
Betterment is a leading, technology-driven financial services company that offers investing, savings and retirement solutions for retail investors and investment advisors as well as financial wellness solutions, including a 401(k) for small and medium-sized businesses. Our team is passionate about our mission, to empower people to build wealth with confidence and ease. We’re headquartered in NYC and offer hybrid NY-based positions (four days/ week in-office, with no required office days during the summer and winter holidays).
About the Role
Betterment's mission is to empower people to make the most of their money so they can live better. As Product Leader for our Broker-Dealer division (Custody, Trading, and Market Data), you'll own the foundational asset management systems behind $70+ billion in assets for more than 1 million clients.
You'll lead a team of PMs responsible for shipping new capabilities for the clients and advisors we serve, while ensuring the systems underneath them continue to run efficiently and resiliently at scale. The Broker-Dealer platform powers all three of Betterment's lines of business: retail investing, Betterment for Advisors, and Betterment at Work. You'll balance their needs on a single shared roadmap.
This is a deeply technical domain, and it requires a leader who gets into the details on topics like tax lot tracking, fee accrual, and trade aggregation, while giving their teams the strategic context behind every priority. In this highly cross-functional role, you'll represent the critical Broker-Dealer domain to stakeholders and executives across the company, and partner closely with Legal, Compliance, Operations and Capital Markets to navigate the requirements of a highly-regulated environment. You’ll also collaborate with our team of Investing experts to develop cutting edge portfolio management capabilities.
