You will support the design, implementation, and governance of wallet-related capabilities—including hot, cold, and contingency wallets—used to custody and manage digital assets across a range of token types and blockchain networks. This role requires a blend of product strategy, operational rigor, and technical fluency to ensure secure, scalable, and compliant wallet services.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: 

• Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineering to define wallet service requirements, including key management, transaction signing, and access controls.
• Support onboarding of third-party wallet providers and coordinate legal, compliance, and operational approvals.
• Maintain and enhance wallet infrastructure documentation, including operating procedures, risk controls, and incident response protocols.
• Monitor wallet performance, incident metrics, and Travel Rule compliance issues, and work with engineering and operations to resolve discrepancies.
• Participate in Digital Asset Custody governance forums and contribute to periodic asset reviews and onboarding evaluations.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders across Compliance, Risk, Legal, and Client Activation to ensure wallet services align with enterprise standards and client expectations.
• Be actively engaged in maintaining and enhancing the security program around wallet infrastructure, including key management, access controls, and incident response readiness.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

• 3-5 years of experience in digital assets, custody, fintech, or financial services product management.
• Must exhibit flexibility and be able to quickly adapt to a fast-paced, dynamic and sometimes ambiguous environment where new challenges arise and priorities shift.
• Strong understanding of wallet technologies (hot, cold, MPC), blockchain protocols, and digital asset transaction flows.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements (e.g., OFAC, AML, Travel Rule).
• Experience working with third-party vendors and managing cross-functional projects.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills; ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency in tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Experience with tokenized assets, stablecoins, or digital cash initiatives preferred.
• Exposure to enterprise onboarding platforms and custody account structures preferred.
• Prior involvement in DAC-related initiatives or governance processes preferred.
