Product Manager

tZERO is hiring a senior-level Product Manager to own a product area end-to-end, from discovery and planning through delivery and post-launch measurement. The role focuses on tools and workflows for issuers and partners using regulated tokenization and market infrastructure, in collaboration with engineering, design, legal, compliance, and go-to-market teams.

Responsibilities:

• Discovery & prioritization — run discovery with issuers, partners, and internal stakeholders; frame problems and rank opportunities against explicit success criteria
• Own the product roadmap — maintain a prioritized, outcomes-based roadmap for your product area; evaluate new requests against strategic fit and impact
• Ship & measure — write crisp Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and acceptance criteria, partner with engineering and project execution to deliver on time, and define and measure success metrics post-launch
• Bridge GTM, legal, compliance & delivery — translate product decisions for sales, marketing, and support; keep compliance and legal in the loop on anything touching market structure
• Make trade-offs explicit — clearly document decisions, scope, and the “why” — including the neutral, data-driven presentation of network/rail options — so the team can move fast without losing context

Requirements:

• 6–8 years of product management experience shipping B2B, SaaS, or marketplace products
• Capital markets / TradFi / DeFi product experience — spent time building products in traditional finance and defi, such as brokerage, trading, clearing and settlement, transfer agency, or fund administration
• Cross-functional execution — proven ability to partner with engineering, design, and GTM to ship on a cadence
• Analytical but customer-first — comfortable with data and metrics, but not metrics-dominated; lead with customer problem definition
• Clear written & verbal communicator — make a decision legible to a room of engineers, legal, execs, and customers
• High ownership — take a problem end-to-end and land outcomes, not just outputs
• Comfort with ambiguity & regulated environments — make progress in areas without clear prior art, and operate responsibly within regulatory constraints
• Intellectual honesty — comfortable presenting multiple options and keeping the analysis neutral, rather than advocating a single (network/vendor) answer
• Fintech, payments, capital markets, or complex operational products a plus
• Fintech / payments
• Regulated industry (SEC / FINRA) experience
• Figma or similar
• SQL or analytics tooling
• deep blockchain expertise is a plus
