About the Role

We are seeking a forward-thinking Product Owner to lead the design and development of digital cash, programmable payments, and tokenized deposit solutions aligned with identity-first, compliance-embedded digital value systems. This role sits at the intersection of financial regulation, distributed ledger technology (DLT), and programmable finance.

You will drive products that enable real-time, programmable, and compliance-first digital payments across multi-bank, government, and enterprise ecosystems. Working closely with engineering, compliance, regulatory, and business teams, you’ll shape the future of regulated digital value infrastructure.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Own the product roadmap and feature definition for digital cash and tokenized payment instruments issued by regulated banks and institutions
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and clients (banks, central banks, ministries) to translate market needs into configurable, scalable solutions.
• Design user journeys for use cases such as wage protection, government disbursements, cross-border settlements, and CBDC interoperability
• Develop detailed product specs for features like:
• Identity-linked wallets
• Multi-tenant architecture
• Purpose-bound programmable money
• Compliance rule engines
• Wallet management, access control, and auditability
• Translate emerging regulatory requirements (e.g., GENIUS Act, VARA, MAS sandbox) into embedded compliance logic.
• Coordinate with engineering on API-first integration with banking systems, payment rails, and national ID/KYC databases.
• Define KPIs for product usage, compliance adherence, and ecosystem interoperability.

Required Experience

• 8+ years in product management, with 4+ years focused on financial services, payments, or blockchain-based infrastructure.
• Proven experience with tokenized deposits, stablecoins, or digital cash systems, preferably within multi-stakeholder ecosystems.
• Familiarity with permissioned DLTs, identity vaults, multi-token support, and compliance-by-design frameworks.
• In-depth understanding of AML/KYC flows, programmable payments, and wallet infrastructure.
• Experience engaging with financial regulators, legal teams, and cross-functional delivery squads.
• Strong understanding of payment infrastructure (ACH, ISO 20022, RTP, SEPA) and integration patterns.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with wage protection systems, government disbursements, or CBDC pilots.
• Knowledge of multi-tenant financial architectures and embedded compliance engines.
• Technical fluency with token standards (e.g., ERC-20, ERC-4626), API design, and identity-based architecture.
• Ability to manage product delivery across different regulatory environments (UAE, Singapore, U.S., EU).
