Mission statement

We are looking for a VP of Product – Capital Markets to serve as the connective tissue between our diverse trading desks and our engineering core. In the fragmented world of digital assets, our competitive advantage lies in unified liquidity and risk. You will be responsible for overseeing and harmonizing product activities across our Linear, Derivatives, and Credit/Rates divisions. This is a high-impact leadership role for a strategist who can navigate the complex P&L requirements of a high-volume trading floor while architecting the scalable product roadmaps of a top-tier neo-investment firm.

Job description

• Cross-Desk Orchestration: Align the product roadmaps of the OTC, Market Making, and DeFi desks to ensure a unified "One-Firm" experience for institutional clients.

• Unified Risk & Collateral: Partner with Risk and Quant teams to define the product logic for cross-asset margining

• Strategic Prioritization: Manage the "IT Demand" process, ensuring product and engineering resources are focused on initiatives with the highest firm-wide ROI rather than individual desk "noise."

• Commercial Strategy & Roadmap: Partner closely with the Commercial teams to decode market trends and client pain points. You will translate these insights into a multi-year strategic roadmap, moving the firm from reactive feature-building to a proactive market-leading position.

• Regulatory Product Design: Translate global crypto regulations (MiCA, SEC, etc.) into scalable product features, ensuring compliance, security, and best practice for digital operations are embedded in the trading workflow, not an afterthought.

Background and experience

• 
  10+ years in Product Management, with significant experience in Capital Markets or Institutional Digital Assets.

• The Bridge Ability: Proven track record of speaking "Trader" (alpha, Greeks, liquidity) and "Developer" (APIs, latency, smart contracts) fluently.

• DeFi & Web3 Native Preferred: Deep understanding of on-chain mechanics (staking, AMMs, MEV) and how they intersect with traditional financial reporting and risk management.

• Diplomatic Leadership: Exceptional stakeholder management skills; able to influence high-performing Desk Heads and align them toward a shared platform vision.

• Strategic Architect: Experience moving organizations away from fragmented, desk-specific "shadow IT" toward modular, unified system architectures.

• Entrepreneurial Drive: Thrives in a high-velocity environment where the rules of the market are still being written.
