We are looking for a player-coach Head of Product who is excited to build the future of enterprise stablecoins with us. This is a hands-on role to start, with the expectation that you will be guiding our product roadmap in close partnership with the executive team, GTM, and engineering to make sure we consistently deliver. You will manage one senior contributor, with further team growth dependent on scale and success.

The goal for the first 90 days is to set our product and company up for success in 2026. This will be an intense period, but one where you will be able to have an immediate impact.

While we are open to this role being based anywhere in the United States, there will be significant advantages to candidates who are based in (or willing to travel often or relocate to) New York City.

Instead of a list of requirements, we want to give you a directional look into the first 7/15/30/90 Days.

If you think this is something you can handle, we will be excited to speak with you.

• Establish a shared understanding of our “Issue → Hold → Move” architecture and immediate constraints

• Meet core stakeholders in Eng, Compliance, GTM; confirm decision rights and escalation paths

• Triage top 3 delivery risks across issuance, on/off‑ramp, and external surfaces

• Deliverable: A one‑page action plan with 3 themes, owners, and next decisions due within 7 days

• Lock the initial 30‑day priorities and success signals for Issuance and Hold/Move reliability

• Work with GTM team to meet with customers and use their needs to further inform our product roadmap

• Stand up lean product cadences: weekly portfolio review, cross‑functional intake, and risk register

• Validate user journeys and compliance touchpoints for near‑term milestones

• Deliverable: 30‑day execution plan with milestones, risks, and cross‑functional owners

• Show customer‑visible progress on at least one external surface

• De‑risk readiness with test plans, observability, and runbooks

• Publish a crisp roadmap linking themes to outcomes and checkpoints for the next quarter

• Deliverable: Updated roadmap, measurable outcomes for first themes, and a repeatable planning cadence

• Demonstrate measurable wins with reliability and compliance baked in

• Institutionalize product principles, analytics, and quality bars that guide prioritization

• Deliverable: Significant product progress, setting us up for success in 2026

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
