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

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
