You will personally own key product deliverables while serving as a central coordination point across the broader effort, managing relationships with clients and stakeholders, coordinating activity across Product, Technology, Architecture, Operations, Risk, Legal, and Compliance, and organizing a growing volume of incoming requests. You will maintain disciplined follow-through across commitments, dependencies, risks, and decisions; keep stakeholders informed of progress and next steps; and provide the Product Director with timely, decision-ready visibility into what is progressing, what requires attention, and where decisions are needed. This is a senior individual-contributor role with no direct reports. Success will depend on hands-on execution, relationship management, and the ability to coordinate and influence across teams without formal authority.

• Monitor progress across workstreams and maintain disciplined follow-through on open items, dependencies, approvals, and commitments
• Maintain a consolidated, current view of product status, risks, decisions, dependencies, and implementation readiness
• Provide the Product Director with timely, decision-ready updates, highlighting matters that require leadership awareness, input, or escalation
• Identify emerging risks, requirements gaps, and competing priorities early, and recommend practical options and next steps
• Prepare stakeholder communications, status reports, meeting materials, and follow-up summaries, and coordinate action items through resolution
• Partner with Engineering and Architecture to clarify requirements, validate feasibility, resolve open questions, and support timely delivery
• Confirm that protocol-specific solutions remain aligned with the broader product architecture, operating model, and roadmap
• Coordinate product validation, user acceptance testing, launch readiness, and post-launch enhancements
• Create capacity across the product organization by taking ownership of cross-workstream coordination, stakeholder communication, monitoring, and follow-through
• Maintain knowledge of blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, wallets, tokenization, and institutional digital-asset trends

Qualifications

• Minimum 7 years of experience in product management, product ownership, business analysis, or technology delivery within financial services, fintech, digital assets, or a related environment
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Finance (preferred), or a related field, or equivalent experience
• Experience with tokenized securities, digital custody, cryptocurrency, blockchain-enabled financial products, or related institutional digital-asset capabilities
• Proven experience driving complex, cross-functional products or workstreams from requirements through implementation and launch in a hands-on individual-contributor capacity
• Experience serving as a key contact for clients and stakeholders, including relationship management, status reporting, and executive-level communication
• Demonstrated ability to organize, prioritize, monitor, and advance a high volume of concurrent requests, dependencies, and action items
• Strong understanding of blockchain technology, smart contracts, wallets, distributed systems, or digital-asset infrastructure
• Experience translating strategic objectives and client needs into product plans, requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria

• Ability to translate complex blockchain concepts for technical, business, and executive audiences
• Sound judgment when balancing product priorities, technical feasibility, delivery risk, and market needs
