Job responsibilities

Canton Network is delivering what others promised but couldn’t: a blockchain for finance that actually works. As the only open layer 1 blockchain network with configurable privacy and controls sufficient for regulatory compliance, it is the venue where DeFi and TradFi are converging.

As this convergence accelerates, we need holistic product leaders who can bridge the gap between complex blockchain capabilities and real-world business value. We are looking for a product manager who has been in the trenches, having built high-volume applications in traditional payments or successfully launched dApps in the DeFi space.

In this role, you will contribute to the end-to-end lifecycle of mission-critical B2B(2C/2B) Financial Apps built by Digital Asset on the Canton Network. Your contribution will be essential to execute on defined business models, commercial strategies and operational excellence. You will participate in engagements with major financial institutions and ecosystem partners to uncover their deepest pain points, translating them into scalable solutions that drive network volume. You will help to move the apps that are built by our product development teams towards commercial success, ensuring that we build products that generate sustainable value for our clients and the network.

• Support the product strategy by validating and delivering app features that are aligned with the unit goals

• Capture and document qualitative and quantitative market/user insights to help adapt product development going forward

• Contribute to the ordering of the product backlog and the roadmap in consultation with unit leadership, prioritizing deliverables that drive adoption among institutional customers and partners

• Coordinate the release of features with engineering colleagues, handling everything from initial scoping to post-release operations

• Maintain & enhance reporting on Key Value Indicators (KVIs) to support data-informed decision-making

• Create and keep up-to-date all internal and external product-related documentation to ensure sales, marketing and support teams are aligned
