About the Role

We are seeking a visionary and results-driven Principal Product Manager to define and execute the Crypto and Stablecoin strategy for the Galileo Technology Platform. This senior Individual Contributor role will own the strategic direction, viability, and regulatory compliance of all crypto-related product initiatives. The ideal candidate possesses real-world experience in the crypto ecosystem, a strategic mindset to identify long-term opportunities, and the leadership to drive complex, cross-functional delivery.

This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, traditional financial technology, and decentralized finance, demanding a leader who can navigate ambiguity and build for the future of payments and banking infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Vision (Strategy Focus)

• Define the Crypto/Stablecoin North Star: Own and champion the multi-year product vision and strategy for integrating Crypto and Stablecoins into the Galileo Technology Platform, ensuring alignment with existing traditional financial products.
• Market & Competitive Intelligence: Conduct deep analysis of the crypto landscape, emerging Stablecoin protocols, regulatory developments (e.g., KYC/AML, Travel Rule, MiCA), and competitor actions to identify disruptive opportunities and inform strategic trade-offs.
• Business Case Development: Create compelling business cases for new platform investments, including build-vs-buy decisions, third-party integrations (custodians, liquidity providers, exchange partners), and resource allocation.
• Executive Alignment: Present strategy, roadmaps, and key decisions to executive leadership and external partners, serving as the internal and external subject matter expert on crypto-related initiatives.

Product Delivery & Execution (Delivery Focus)

• End-to-End Product Ownership: Lead the entire product lifecycle from ideation, scoping, and definition through to launch, adoption, and iteration.
• Platform Roadmap: Develop and manage a clear, prioritized product roadmap for platform capabilities, including wallet services, custody solutions, transaction processing, blockchain node integrations, and developer-facing APIs.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Risk, Finance, and other Product teams to ensure secure, scalable, and compliant delivery of all crypto platform features.
• Metrics & Optimization: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for platform adoption, reliability, transaction volume, and unit economics to measure success and drive continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of progressive experience in Product Management, with 3+ years in a senior/principal-level role specifically owning strategy for Crypto, Stablecoin, or Blockchain infrastructure products at a FinTech, exchange, or regulated financial institution.
• Deep, demonstrable expertise in the Crypto/Stablecoin ecosystem—a candidate must have hands-on or direct leadership experience with concepts like stablecoin mechanics (e.g., collateralization, issuance, redemption), custody solutions (e.g., hot/cold, MPC), smart contracts, and on-chain infrastructure.
• Proven ability to translate complex, ambiguous technical, legal, and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product specifications and user stories for engineering teams.
• Exceptional strategic thinking, proven ability to define a long-term vision, and the execution excellence to deliver against that vision.
• Strong technical fluency, comfortable engaging in architectural discussions with engineering leaders regarding platform scalability, security, and performance.
• Proven track record of managing and influencing senior stakeholders across technical, legal, risk, and business functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with a modern banking/payments platform or payments processing infrastructure (such as Galileo).
• Familiarity with various blockchain environments (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Layer 2s) and key Stablecoin protocols (e.g., USDC, USDT, institutional tokens).
• MBA or a Master's degree in a technical field, Finance, or a related discipline.
