Who we are


Decent DAO’s mission is to protect the pioneers of the next financial system with practical privacy solutions. We are the only web3 builder collective dedicated to supporting the privacy needs of institutional DeFi and large-scale DAOs. Since 2017, our efforts to dismantle centralized power structures in finance have helped launch over 30 groundbreaking cryptocurrency products. Our passionate, highly skilled team has fine-tuned the art of building and scaling successful products at the crossroads of financial technology and digital rights.


Since becoming a DAO we have doubled down on our privacy focus, developing our own products, launching an accelerator, and continuing to build alongside clients and partners on the frontier.

Who are you?


The Entrepreneur in Residence is one of the most exciting and critical roles at Decent. EIRs serve as product leaders, owning and driving forward a key project within our privacy portfolio. They work with internal teams cross-functionally to determine the critical path forward for a product across branding, product design, marketing and software development. They communicate objectives to all team members to ensure consistency and are ultimately responsible for the success of a specific product from a commercial and problem/solution standpoint. They partner with our founding team to make product decisions and lead the end-to-end product lifecycle from inception through launch. The goal of the EIR is to grow an internal venture at Decent, where they serve as cofounder and product lead.


The EIR is responsible for planning and execution throughout the product lifecycle: gathering and prioritizing product and customer requirements; assisting in defining the product vision; and working closely with engineering, product, marketing, and design to ensure development and user satisfaction goals are met. As an EIR, you’ll lead iterative product development to execute Decent’s roadmap and organizational goals. You can write and speak fluent English.


This EIR position centers around institutional DeFi and we are searching for candidates who have a background at a crypto trading desk or other relevant industry expertise and have product management experience.

Responsibilities


  • Drive product life-cycle development from discovery through launch.
  • Define and prioritize customer problems via in-depth user research with B2B crypto clients (we focus primarily on institutional DeFi and DAOs).
  • Drive sales and business development conversations in alignment with product scoping - land LOIs and signed deals with prospective clients as the product evolves.
  • Develop product’s technical roadmap in partnership with our CTO and a lead engineer. Fluency in React and Solidity are a plus.
  • Drive cross-functional project scoping, project estimation, and roadmapping alongside the DAOs workstream leaders.
  • Ensure ongoing alignment and clear communication and coordination amongst all relevant stakeholders.
  • Create and maintain transparent product requirements documentation reference-able by all members of the DAO. We work in a decentralized environment where writing and working in public are key.
  • Drive the project forward holistically: groom backlogs, plan sprints, conduct retros, and unblock your team.
  • Stay ahead of user needs, product trends, and market dynamics in the broader crypto, web3, and privacy spaces and in the specific niches of institutional DeFi + DAOs.
  • Lead conversations around your product’s monetization strategy and long-term business model with the support of our founders, advisors, and other EIRs within the DAO.

Requirements


  • Crypto trading desk experience and/or relevant experience within institutional DeFi including a network of contacts within the institutional DeFi space.
  • 3-5 years of experience in a dynamic product management or venture leadership position.
  • Experience working within ambiguity, ability to turn unknowns into hypotheses, and lead Agile processes.
  • Experience with product management tools (GitHub, Asana, Notion, Figma).
  • Passion for decentralized finance, privacy, and deep knowledge of crypto/web3.

This EIR role is one part commercial leader and one part product leader. You will drive both go-to-market and product strategy with the support of the DAO and a technical co-founder.


1: Commercial Lead Responsibilities:

  • Analyze market data to develop customer segmentation, sales strategies, and product objectives for effective marketing and communications plans.
  • Develop TAM/SAM/SOM models around the specific niche and problem/solution we are developing.
  • Develop relationships with key customers in the institutional DeFi space, understanding their needs and building rapport and a sales funnel.
  • Develop, document, and prioritize customer problems and our product’s solutions.
  • Articulate core value proposition, product positioning and differentiation against competitors, and long-term feature and adopter roadmaps.
  • Drive partnerships and integrations with key institutional players like Fireblocks and Coinbase Institutional Wallet.
  • Stay at the forefront of the institutional DeFi space. Create thought leadership pieces and be a voice for the DAO.

2: Senior Product Manager Responsibilities:
Develop product thesis and technical roadmap in conversation with key clients.


  • Assess opportunities within the institutional DeFi niche to find further validation for our existing product concept and overarching venture strategy.
  • Scope, build and pitch a demo and MVP based on user research with potential customers.
  • Translate product strategy into detailed requirements for prototype construction and final product development by engineering teams.
  • Evaluate and create a framework for understanding technical risks and tradeoffs and how they relate to commercial potential across timescales. Decide on core technical architecture in partnership with our CTO.
  • Understand and incorporate data pipelines, algorithms, and automated systems into the product’s design.
  • Create product strategy documents that describe business cases, high-level use cases, technical requirements, revenue, and ROI.
  • Analyze metrics and data to create actionable insights that inform beta tests and overarching product development.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, production, marketing, and sales teams on the development, QA, release of products, and balance of resources to ensure success.

A Few Perks:


  • Competitive salary and native DAO token allocation.
  • Fully remote and distributed team with flexible hours that gathers 1-2x/year at global offsites.
