You will determine what to build, why, and in what order, by translating operational pain points and institutional client requirements into delivered products, and measuring success through platform reliability, operational efficiency, and client growth. You will work closely with engineering, operations, trading, finance, legal, compliance, and commercial teams to maintain the platform as correct, scalable, and easy to develop. This role sits at the intersection of product, digital asset custody, and regulated financial infrastructure. Responsibilities • Define and prioritize the backlog for the custody & settlement platform, balancing reliability, operational efficiency, business needs, and clients. • Discovery & requirements: Collaborate with operations, trading, finance, and institutional clients to identify real problems and transform them into clear requirements for engineering. • Operational efficiency: Prioritize the automation of manual back-office processes to improve turnaround times, reduce risks, and decrease operating costs. • Platform scalability & reuse: Steer the platform towards modular and reusable services so that new products and client configurations can be delivered faster and more consistently. • Client-oriented product work: Shape how institutional clients integrate and onboard, and integrate client feedback and competitive gaps into the roadmap. • Delivery partnership: Collaborate with engineering throughout the full lifecycle: scoping, trade-offs, release preparation, and validation. • Stakeholder alignment: Maintain alignment between engineering, trading, operations, commercial, finance, and delivery partners on what is being built and why. • Regulation-aware decisions: Make product decisions compliant with security, compliance, and regulatory requirements applicable to regulated traders and securities custodians (e.g., DORA, FINMA, BaFin, MiCAR). • Measure & iterate: Define and track key metrics: reliability, operational efficiency, integration time, client adoption, and use them to drive the roadmap. • More than 5 years in product management, ideally in charge of a platform, ledger, settlement, custody, payments, or core banking product in financial services or fintech. Proven experience in driving products from discovery to delivery, with measurable results. Good understanding of ledger and reconciliation concepts: positions, balances, and how transactions feed into financial and reporting systems. Comfortable with API-based platforms and integrations (e.g., FIX, REST, WebSocket) - enough to discuss them, not necessarily to build them. Ability to work fluently with technical and business or operational stakeholders, and to act as a translator between them. Proficiency with backlog and product management tools (Jira preferred). Familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks relevant to financial markets (e.g., DORA). Assets • Experience in digital asset / cryptocurrency infrastructure.
