Head of Product

Important: This is an initial 6 month contract with a view to extend if the person delivers.
‍

We are hiring for a passionate product leader to join an early-stage digital assets venture building a short-duration derivatives platform for crypto markets. The product focuses on simple directional trading mechanics tied to asset price movements over defined expiry windows.
‍

This is a high-impact leadership role with end-to-end ownership across product vision, roadmap, execution, commercial growth, and team build-out. The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership and have significant autonomy in shaping both the product and broader go-to-market strategy.
‍

This opportunity is well suited to someone who can operate as a hands-on leader with deep product instincts, balancing user experience, trading mechanics, growth, and commercial priorities.
‍

The opportunity

You will take ownership of the platform strategy from an early stage, helping bring a live trading product to market and scale it. The business has already invested in key technical and operational foundations, and is now looking for a leader who can accelerate execution and help turn the product into a category-defining offering.
‍

There is a clear path for this role to evolve into a broader leadership position as the venture matures.
‍

What we’re looking for

We’re open to candidates from a range of backgrounds, including DeFi, digital asset trading, traditional derivatives, fintech, or high-growth product-led businesses.
‍

The key requirements are:

• Strong understanding of binary options, event-driven trading products, prediction-style markets, or short-dated derivatives
• Ability to think clearly about market structure, including concepts such as liquidity, spreads, volatility, pricing, and risk
• Confidence working across product, growth, and commercial strategy
• Experience in crypto markets and familiarity with on-chain products, ideally across Solana and/or EVM ecosystems
• Track record of operating effectively in fast-moving environments with a high degree of ownership
  ‍

You do not need to be a quant researcher, but you should be commercially and technically fluent enough to make strong product decisions in a trading environment.
‍

Why this role stands out

• Rare opportunity to take ownership of a venture-stage product with genuine strategic influence
• Strong internal support across areas such as infrastructure, partnerships, legal/compliance, and market operations
• Competitive compensation package with meaningful long-term upside
• Existing progress across product and engineering, meaning this is not a concept-stage build
• Scope to step into a broader executive leadership remit over time
  ‍

Location

This role is remote-friendly with a preference for candidates based in the U.S. or overlapping time zones. Hybrid options may also be available depending on location.
