Our client is seeking a Chief Product Officer

You’ll Take Ownership Of

• • Zero-to-One Product Delivery: Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for regulated financial products, from initial concept to launch, prioritizing value delivery over premature optimization.
  • Product & People Leadership: Build and lead the product organization — hire, mentor, and grow product talent, and establish a culture of high performance, data literacy, and low ego. This is core to the role, not an adjunct to it.
  • Agentic Banking Architecture: Architect a financial ecosystem built for autonomous agents from the ground up, treating AI as an operating model for the organization rather than a bolt-on feature.
  • Scope Discipline: Maintain control over delivery timelines under pressure. Cut scope deliberately rather than sacrifice quality, keeping focus on the minimal licensable product.
  • Regulatory & Compliance Architecture: Treat regulatory, compliance, and audit obligations as first-class product inputs, turning friction into intuitive product features.
  • Cross-Functional Feasibility: Partner with the CTO to co-own technical feasibility and organizational commitments, separating what the product does from how it’s engineered.
  • Context & Alignment: Act as the primary bridge for shared understanding across the company — communicating product vision, customer needs, and strategic rationale through multiple channels.

About You

• • Regulated Startup Background: You’ve built and shipped regulated financial products from zero to one within a fintech, crypto exchange, custodian, or digital banking environment, with proven exposure to compliance frameworks such as VARA, MiCA, EMI, or PI, and to strict licensing processes.
  • Comfort with Shifting Landscapes: You thrive in continuous-delivery setups with agile teams, staying resilient and decisive under regulatory, investor, and shifting deadline pressures.
  • Agentic Framework Literacy: You have practical understanding of agentic capabilities, architectural pitfalls, and the agentic-deterministic bridge, so deterministic safety holds on the money path.
  • Cross-Domain Fluency: You’re comfortable across crypto systems, traditional banking, and modern neobank infrastructure, rather than specialized in a single domain.
  • Outcome Ownership: You own outcomes end-to-end rather than running a feature factory. You commit to measurable results and core OKRs, and you value autonomy while building a collaborative, non-siloed organization.
  • Clarity & Conviction: You reduce ambiguity across teams and argue from data with conviction, but disagree and commit when it’s time to align the organization.
  • Language Skills: You speak and write English at a professional level, to support clean communication across global offices.

This Is Not For You If

• • You’re looking for a mature product to optimize. We’re building from zero — there’s no existing user base to A/B-test against.
  • You’re a product manager from a large bank who needs six committees to change a button. We move fast, fail fast on wrong calls, and decide from data.
  • You know crypto well but see banking regulation as an outdated formality. For us, regulation is part of the product architecture, not an obstacle.
  • You want to run a feature factory and just execute roadmaps. We need someone who will fight for the right scope, even if that means shipping less.
  • You need the founders to make every product call. You’ll have real autonomy here — and the responsibility that comes with it, including owning your own mistakes.

Can Get You a Few Bonus Points

• Founder Roots: Prior experience as a founder or early product leader of a regulated fintech startup, building the organization from the ground up.
• Agentic Shipping History: Direct experience bringing a live, agentic-first product to market.
• Augmented Operations: Active daily use of AI agents, personal documentation systems, or a “second brain” to streamline your own operational delivery
