As Principal Product Manager for Simple Trading at OKX, you own product optimization and growth for our retail crypto trading products across European markets. You act as the product expert for European retail customers, identifying local customer needs, market differences, and growth opportunities, then translating them into simple and effective product improvements. You focus on mainstream retail customers rather than advanced trading or derivatives, with success measured by local product adoption, conversion, repeat investment, retention, and sustainable growth.
What you'll do
- Own product optimization for Simple Trading across key European markets, adapting product journeys to local payment methods, customer behaviours, market practices, and regulatory requirements.
- Identify local customer needs and product gaps across onboarding, fiat funding, first purchase, buy, sell, swap, portfolio management, savings and investments, and withdrawals.
- Improve existing products through customer feedback, funnel analysis, experimentation, and market-level performance data.
- Simplify complex crypto concepts for first-time and low-frequency retail customers, improving order entry, quote presentation, pricing transparency, portfolio overview, average cost, P&L, transaction history, and asset discovery.
- Ensure the experience is intuitive and consistent across App and Web while addressing important local market differences.
- Own the local product funnel across onboarding, funding, activation, first purchase, repeat purchase, retention, and reactivation.
- Develop products that encourage long-term engagement, including recurring buys, auto-invest, savings plans, price alerts, round-ups, and crypto collections, as well as lifestyle-esque product levers for growth, monetization, and engagement.
- Partner with growth and marketing teams on market-specific acquisition, activation, and lifecycle initiatives.
- Track and improve key metrics across the product funnel.
- Maintain a strong understanding of European retail crypto, digital banking, brokerage, payments, and savings products, benchmarking leading European products such as Revolut, Bitpanda, Bitvavo, and Trade Republic.
- Translate local customer and competitive insights into actionable product improvements.
- Work with design, engineering, data, compliance, operations, marketing, and local market teams to deliver product improvements.
- Influence priorities through strong market insight, product judgement, and data without formal people-management responsibility.
