In addition, you will lead our blockchain- and Web3-native initiatives (like Stablecoin-as-a-Service, ScaaS, L1 / L2 onboarding and non-EVM chain, e.g Solana, SUI integrations), ensuring First Digital remains at the forefront of digital asset innovation.

This is a strategic and hands-on role, ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of fintech infrastructure, emerging blockchain technology, and cross-functional leadership. You will work closely with Engineering, Compliance, Business Development, and Product colleagues to execute roadmaps, identify growth opportunities, and enhance our platform’s scalability, usability, and performance.

• Provide mentorship and guidance to Product Managers, helping elevate team capability and ownership.
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with Engineering, Compliance, Operations, and BD to remove blockers and drive delivery.
• Act as a subject matter expert in Web3 and blockchain within the broader Product and FD team.

Strategic Insight & Problem Solving

• Identify and evaluate new BD opportunities, partnerships, and integrations to expand our blockchain offering.
• Apply structured systems thinking to balance user needs, technical feasibility, compliance, and business value.
• Monitor KPIs and product performance to drive continual improvement and communicate impact to stakeholders.

What We're Looking For :

Experience & Skills

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally with a focus on fintech platforms, SaaS solutions, or digital asset services.
• Deep understanding of blockchain ecosystems, smart contracts, non-EVM chains and token standards (e.g., ERC-20, ERC-721).
• Hands-on experience with platform or infrastructure products and complex operational workflows.
• Proven success in managing product roadmaps, delivering cross-functional projects, and navigating ambiguity.
• Comfortable interfacing with engineering and technical teams; able to evaluate system scalability and integrations.

Mindset & Working Style

• Strategic and analytical thinker who excels at breaking down complex ideas into actionable work.
• Proactive, accountable, and outcomes-driven, thrives in an environment with high autonomy and ownership.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to influence across functions and levels.
• Resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
