Proof of work

The team

We're looking for a Senior Group Product Manager to own and drive the strategy, roadmap, and execution across our Earn and Borrow product suite. You'll lead a team of two Product Managers and serve as the domain expert across staking, stablecoins, DeFi yield, onchain rewards, and our horizontal Autoearn product, as well as our Borrow offering. This is a high-autonomy leadership role reporting into a senior product leader who also oversees our embeddable offerings and B2B2C pay/rewards services division.

The opportunity

• Earn products end-to-end: Staking (native, liquid, pooled), stablecoin yield strategies, DeFi integrations, onchain rewards programs

• Autoearn: Horizontal product spanning multiple asset types — define positioning, optimization levers, and cross-product dependencies

• Borrow: Crypto-collateralized lending — product strategy, risk parameters, and UX

• Team leadership: Manage and develop 2 PMs; set priorities, remove blockers, raise the bar on execution quality

• Roadmap & strategy: Define quarterly and annual plans; align with eng, design, risk, compliance, and business stakeholders

• Metrics: Own KPIs across AUM, yield competitiveness, utilization rates, revenue contribution, and user activation/retention within Earn & Borrow

Skills you should HODL

• 8+ years in product management, with 3+ years managing other PMs

• Deep fluency in crypto earn/yield products — you understand staking mechanics, validator economics, liquid staking derivatives, DeFi yield sources, and lending/borrow models at a protocol level

• Track record shipping and scaling financial products with meaningful AUM or TVL

• Comfortable navigating regulatory and compliance constraints across jurisdictions without losing product velocity

• Strong analytical chops — can build and interrogate models around yield spreads, risk-adjusted returns, utilization curves

• Experience working cross-functionally with risk, compliance, legal, and treasury teams

• Ability to context-switch between strategic planning and tactical unblocking across multiple product lines

• Clear, concise communicator — can present to executives and write specs that engineers want to build from

Nice to haves

• Direct experience with onchain rewards or loyalty programs

• Background in building horizontal/platform products that serve multiple verticals

• Familiarity with B2B2C or embedded finance distribution models

• Prior work at a top-tier exchange, DeFi protocol, or fintech with crypto exposure

• Active DeFi user with firsthand experience across major protocols
