About Public Public is building the Agentic Brokerage. Focused on serious investors who use AI and a vast variety of asset classes, from stocks and bonds to crypto and options, to build their portfolios. Launched in 2019, Public has been trusted with billions of assets from retail investors. What you'll do: You'll own the acquisition, advocacy, and retention of high-volume options traders at Public by working across every function and leveraging every asset we have to bring them onto the platform. That means building and maintaining a pipeline of high-potential prospects from both Public-generated and outbound channels, and, where useful, identifying and working with external partners to hit your goals. Options volume is your north star: you'll figure out where sophisticated flow lives, meet traders where they are, and do whatever it takes (within regulatory limits) to bring that volume to Public. Public is the Agentic Brokerage, and options traders are among the most sophisticated users of our platform. You'll be the connective tissue between our product and the trader community by evangelizing our AI Agents, API access, and options tooling to the traders who'll push them hardest, then channeling what you hear back to product and engineering. You'll need to know our API and agentic capabilities well enough to demo them credibly and win over traders who build their own systems. This is a role for someone who works well independently and enjoys owning their approach. You'll have real autonomy and a clear target, with the flexibility to figure out the path that works best.
