About the Role
StraitsX is seeking an adaptable Product Manager to join our Stablecoin Payments team. In this role, you will own the product build for our stablecoin payments API, a reusable platform that enables banks and major platforms to accept, convert, and settle stablecoin payments.This is an early-stage product in a fast-evolving regulatory environment and part of the roadmap will be yours to define. The role suits a builder who is energised by ambiguity rather than someone looking for a well-paved backlog.The responsibilities below describe the full product surface. You'll own the core build from day one, working directly with engineering — and your scope expands through a deliberate, staged handover as the product grows: partner integrations first, then regulatory-to-product translation and broader roadmap ownership.
What You Will Do
- Scope, prioritise, and design the core product — API design, payment flows, wallet whitelisting, off-ramp UX, and the edge cases that make or break payments products.
- Drive day-to-day execution with engineering, owning build sequencing, scope trade-offs, and release readiness.
- Define the operational flows, monitoring requirements, and internal tooling needed to run the product at scale.
- Translate complex regulatory frameworks (e.g., Travel Rule, AML requirements) into actionable product requirements.
- When counsel defines what is possible, you design the flows and controls that make it work, and sequence the build so pending approvals and open regulatory outcomes don't force rework.
- Implement compliance controls across the product, ensuring flows are compliant while minimising user friction.
- Own the product decision log and flow documentation that compliance, partners, and engineers build against.
- Program-manage cross-functional partner delivery across engineering, compliance, legal, and external partner teams.
- Take partner integrations end-to-end as they firm up — from solution design through launch and iteration.
- Own the developer experience for third-party platforms building on the product — API documentation, sandbox environments, and integration support.
What We Are Looking For
- 3–6 years of Product Management experience, with a proven track record of launching and scaling API, platform, fintech, or infrastructure products.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, successfully driving outcomes amid changing priorities, evolving requirements, and shifting business needs.
- Strong product sense with expertise in user journey design, UX decision-making, edge-case analysis, and balancing trade-offs to deliver customer‑centric solutions.
- Proven ability to influence and collaborate effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders, including Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Operations, and external partners.
- Experience in payments, banking, fintech infrastructure, or other regulated industries, with a solid understanding of the regulatory and operational considerations involved in building financial products.
- Strong interest in stablecoins, digital assets, and emerging financial technologies, coupled with a growth mindset, strategic thinking, and the ability to quickly develop expertise in new domains and market trends.
- Passionate about leveraging AI to improve product development and team productivity, with hands‑on experience integrating AI tools into workflows and a commitment to driving continuous innovation and operational excellence.
