Title: Senior Product Manager, Customer Platform
About this Job
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own our customer-facing energy purchasing and tracking platform during a critical high-growth phase. You'll define and drive the vision for turning that platform into an interactive, data-rich experience — think Bloomberg Terminal or Robinhood — that gives clients real-time visibility and control over their energy purchasing decisions. This is a flagship customer-facing bet, and you'll be the senior product voice shaping it end to end.
What You'll Do
- Own the product roadmap and vision for the customer-facing platform, translating energy purchasing and tracking into an interactive, real-time interface
- Partner with Engineering, Design, and Quantitative Strategy to define data visualizations, live pricing displays, and interactive tools that make complex energy market data intuitive for clients
- Gather requirements directly from clients, Sales, and Customer Success to identify what drives engagement and decision-making on the platform
- Write detailed product requirements and specs, and work closely with engineering to ship features that measurably improve client engagement and retention
- Define and track success metrics (engagement, retention, feature adoption) and use data to prioritize the roadmap
- Drive integration with underlying market data and pricing infrastructure to ensure the platform reflects real-time, accurate information
- Lead change management and adoption efforts to ensure new platform capabilities land well with clients and internal teams
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of product management experience, including product leadership (Senior Product Manager, Director, or senior PM with P&L/roadmap ownership)
- Required: hands-on experience building fintech, trading, or brokerage-style interfaces — e.g., trading terminals, portfolio dashboards, brokerage apps (Bloomberg, Robinhood, E*TRADE, similar), or comparable real-time financial data products
- Strong technical acumen — you understand system architecture, APIs, SQL, and data pipelines; hands-on technical experience is a plus
- Track record designing interactive, data-dense UX for non-technical end users
- Excellent stakeholder management across Sales, Customer Success, Engineering, and Design
- Data-driven mindset — you define success metrics and validate decisions with data
- Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments

Platform Product Manager Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a platform product manager in Illinois?
Platform product management in Illinois has no state-issued license or registration requirement, so the path runs through education and experience. Most hiring managers in Illinois expect a bachelor's degree in a technical or business field, followed by a role in product operations, program management, or software development before moving into a product manager title. Chicago's dense technology and financial services sector offers the most direct on-ramps, and completing a recognized product management certification can strengthen early applications.
Which companies hire platform product managers in Illinois?
Employers hiring platform product managers in Illinois right now include LG Electronics, Cisco, and Convey, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Illinois's concentration of enterprise software, financial technology, and healthcare technology companies means demand is broad and not limited to a single industry.
Which Illinois cities have the most platform product manager jobs?
Chicago, Evanston, and Naperville have the most platform product manager openings in Illinois. Chicago leads by a wide margin because it is home to the largest concentration of enterprise technology companies, financial services firms, and healthcare platforms in the state, while Schaumburg and Naperville attract hiring from major corporate headquarters and technology campuses located in the northwest and western suburbs.
Are there remote platform product manager jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than most fields. Platform product management is a desk-based, collaboration-heavy role that translates well to distributed work. About 100% of platform product manager openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how broadly companies have adopted flexible arrangements for this function. Strategic and roadmap-focused responsibilities tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles requiring close coordination with on-site engineering teams often require at least hybrid attendance.
How can I get hired as a platform product manager in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving from a closely adjacent role rather than applying directly to a platform product manager title. In Illinois, strong candidates come from software engineering, business analysis, technical program management, and UX research positions at technology and financial services companies. Large Chicago-area employers in fintech and enterprise software regularly bring in associate product managers through rotational programs or internal transfers. Building a portfolio that documents a product decision, roadmap artifact, or customer discovery project gives candidates a concrete edge at the interview stage.
Where can I find and apply to platform product manager jobs in Illinois?
