Responsibilities:

• You'll help shape a compelling product vision and roadmap for the tokenization platform, driving alignment and seeking consensus among leadership, engineering, and cross-functional partners

• Translate network and wallet requirements into clear engineering specifications, writing high-quality PRDs with crisp acceptance criteria that maintain engineering velocity

• Identify and flag customer-impacting gaps in the platform, surfacing issues to leadership early with clear status updates and action plans
• Own the product narrative for tokenization across GTM, Product Support, Customer Success, and onboarding - ensuring cross-functional teams have the product knowledge, documentation, and strategic context they need to move fast and represent the platform accurately to customers
• Collaborate with go-to-market partners to develop product collateral, presentations, and enablement tools that bring tokenization capabilities to customers and prospects
• Stay current with payment industry trends, competitive landscape, and growth opportunities to proactively shape the platform's direction

Requirements:

• Proven track record of end-to-end product delivery and execution, with experience independently owning a complex platform with high compliance and reliability requirements
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a talent for precise articulations of customer problems for technical and business audiences
• Proficient in identifying key metrics, analyzing data, and balancing quantitative and qualitative information to make decisions
• Excellent technical acumen, curiosity, and familiarity with APIs, data analysis, and working alongside engineering teams to shape technically sound solutions
• A customer-centric mindset — you consistently ask 'How does this solve the customer's problem?'
• 'Roll up your sleeves' mentality to make your products successful and get things done, even when the path is unclear
• Expertise in Agile, stakeholder management, and product lifecycle management
• Experience with transaction processing systems, 3DS authentication, or issuer processing platforms
• Familiarity with international payment regulations
• Experience managing tier-0 or mission-critical services with high uptime expectations
• Understanding of connected platform components beyond tokenization, such as fulfillment, accounts, and issuing systems
