What you'll do

  • Define the product vision, positioning and roadmap for a new crypto-fiat digital banking business.
  • Identify customer needs, high-value use cases and product opportunities across B2B and B2C segments.
  • Prioritise the MVP and subsequent releases, balancing customer value, commercial potential, operational readiness and regulatory considerations.
  • Own product discovery, validation, user journeys and product requirements from concept through launch.
  • Shape experiences around digital wallets, crypto-fiat conversion, cards and payment services, with a strong focus on trust, simplicity and usability.
  • Set meaningful product metrics covering activation, conversion, engagement, retention and product-led revenue contribution.
  • Build and lead a focused product team and establish practical product-management processes.
  • Work in close partnership with commercial, operations and technology leaders to bring the product to market and improve it based on data and user feedback.

What we're looking for

  • Strong product discovery, prioritisation, roadmap ownership and data-informed decision-making skills.
  • Commercial awareness, including the ability to connect product choices with customer acquisition, unit economics and business outcomes.
  • Experience recruiting, developing and leading high-performing product teams.
