About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

- Define and prioritize the backlog for the custody & settlement platform, balancing reliability, operational efficiency, business and client needs.
- Discovery & requirements: Work with operations, trading, finance, and institutional clients to uncover the real problems, and turn them into clear requirements for engineering.
- Operational efficiency: Prioritize automation of manual back-office processes to improve turnaround, reduce risk, and lower operating cost.
- Platform scalability & reuse: Drive the platform toward modular, reusable services so new products and client setups can be delivered faster and more consistently.
- Client-facing product work: Shape how institutional clients integrate and onboard, and feed client feedback and competitive gaps back into the roadmap.
- Delivery partnership: Work with engineering across the full lifecycle: scoping, trade-offs, release readiness, and validation.
- Stakeholder alignment: Keep engineering, trading, operations, commercial, finance, and delivery partners aligned on what is being built and why.
- Regulatory-aware decisions: Make product choices that hold up under the security, compliance, and regulatory requirements applicable to regulated securities dealers and custodians (e.g., DORA, FINMA, BaFin, MiCAR).
- Measure & iterate: Define and track the metrics that matter: reliability, operational efficiency, onboarding time, client adoption, and use them to steer the roadmap.

Requirements

What you’ll need

- 5+ years in product management, ideally owning a platform, ledger, settlement, custody, payments, or core-banking product within financial services or fintech.
- Proven track record taking products from discovery through delivery, with measurable outcomes.
- Strong grasp of ledger and reconciliation concepts: positions, balances, and how transactions flow into finance and reporting systems.
- Comfort with API-based platforms and integrations (e.g., FIX, REST, WebSocket) - enough to reason about them, not necessarily to build them.
- Ability to work fluently with both engineering and business or operations stakeholders, and to translate between them.
- Proficiency with backlog and product tooling (Jira preferred).
- Familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks relevant to financial markets (e.g., DORA).
**Nice to Have**
- Experience in digital asset / cryptocurrency infrastructure.
- Understanding of custody, wallet infrastructure, key management, or post-trade systems.
- Exposure to on-chain settlement mechanics.
- Background in institutional client onboarding, conformance, or integration testing.
- Experience modularizing a large platform or system of record into reusable services.
- Familiarity with trading systems or order management.
- Experience with Confluence-based documentation and knowledge management.
