Product Lead, Stablecoins

About Paxos 

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. 

About the team 

We're hiring a Product Lead, Stablecoins, to set the vision for and lead the execution of our Stablecoins product roadmap. This person will partner with our Head of Product to lead our efforts in scaling a core part of our business — issuing and growing the largest stablecoins in the world. 
A significant area of investment within our company is Tokenization, which we believe is the critical first step towards a blockchain-enabled digital economy. We've issued stablecoins like USDP and PYUSD, enabling entities like Paypal to issue regulated stablecoins, and are actively working on launching more stablecoins across the world. We're looking for an experienced Product leader to join our Product organization and lead all things Stablecoins. 

About the role

In this role, you'll partner closely with the Head of Product and Commercial teams to understand customer use cases for stablecoins, turning them into solutions that can drive adoption through real-world use cases. You will direct the product strategy and OKRs for a cross-functional team of talented colleagues to identify and execute our roadmap, and accelerate our growth.
This is an opportunity to be part of a fast-paced organization responsible for developing our industry-leading products. If you're passionate about building industry-leading blockchain and crypto products that are transforming the financial system, then this is the role for you!

What you’ll do 

• Own the Product Strategy and Direction for Stablecoins: We're solving extremely complex problems at the intersection of the expanding crypto industry and the long-standing financial sector. You’ll need the aptitude to deeply understand these problems and contribute your own evidence-based point of view. You'll unpack our opportunities and collaborate with our leadership team to identify the roadmap for achieving our vision
• Lead the Industry: While you may be new to financial services or crypto, you can earn the trust of and absorb information from customers, regulators, partners and vendors, synthesizing those insights for our team. As you gain expertise, you'll be sought out by external audiences for your counsel on helping the industry transition to this new financial system
• Engage with our largest customers to understand and enable their blockchain adoption goals and stablecoin-focused use cases
• Drive the growth of all Paxos issued stablecoins, in partnership with commercial teams
