About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Alpaca's product team is looking for a Lead Product Manager to own Alpaca's regulated crypto product surface and to step into a leading role across our crypto programs.
In this role, you will own and grow a portfolio that spans crypto trading and multi-asset cross-margin, borrow / lend / earn, custody and on-chain settlement, tokenization (transfer agent, tokenized money market funds, on-chain issuance), and partnership programs from idea to launch.
You will partner deeply with engineering, compliance, legal, partnerships, and the broader Alpaca product team to ship regulated crypto infrastructure at scale.
You will help shape and grow the crypto product itself, and you will be expected to provide early signal on US policy changes rather than react after rules formalize.
Help build and develop the Alpaca crypto PM team; hire and ramp existing PMs, set bar and standards across the cluster.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Excited about what Alpaca is building and ready to take a leadership role across our most ambitious crypto programs.
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, finance, or equivalent.
8+ years of experience in Product Management, Engineering, and/or starting a startup, with senior-level ownership in crypto, brokerage, exchanges, or financial infrastructure.
Demonstrated ownership of regulated crypto products at production scale across any of the following: borrow / lend / earn, multi-asset cross-margin, custody, on-chain settlement, tokenization, or stablecoin / payment rails.
Direct experience navigating US crypto regulatory frameworks — NY DFS BitLicense, SEC transfer-agent rules, FinCEN, FINRA broker-dealer rules, and SEC tokenized-securities frameworks.
Track record of taking partnership programs from idea to launch to PR to growth.
AI-native PM workflow; AI is part of your daily stack in getting work done.
Business acumen to understand tradeoffs between stakeholders and technology feasibility with time and budget constraints.
