Principal Product Manager - Tokenization

About the role:

Canton Network is delivering what others promised but couldn’t: a blockchain for finance that actually works. As the only open layer 1 blockchain network with configurable privacy and controls sufficient for regulatory compliance, it is the venue where DeFi and TradFi are converging.

As this convergence accelerates, we are looking for a product manager who has been in the trenches, working on tokenization tooling for TradFi institutions, but can also cater to the emerging DeFi ecosystem in Canton.

In this role, you will co-own the end-to-end lifecycle of the DA Registry, an exponentially growing tokenization engine on the Canton Network. You will move beyond feature delivery to define business models, commercial strategies and operational excellence. You will engage directly with major financial institutions and ecosystem partners to uncover their deepest pain points, translating them into scalable solutions that drive network volume. You will be the pivot point between our product development teams and our commercial success, ensuring that DA Registry will generate sustainable value for our clients and the network.

Responsibilities:

• Discover, deliver and operate the product strategy for DA Registry, ensuring alignment with Financial Apps unit goals and the commercial viability of the product by defining clear business models and go-to-market strategies.
• Create and maintain the product roadmap in consultation with unit leadership & peers prioritizing features that drive adoption among institutional partners and ecosystem developers.
• Handle the end-to-end release of products and features in coordination with your engineering colleagues and other stakeholders, from initial concept to post-release operations.
• Conduct rapid experimentation to validate value and feasibility before full-scale development begins, mitigating risk and ensuring we build what the market truly needs.
• Actively capture and channel market/user insights back into your product to adapt the development of it going forth. 
• Create and maintain reporting on Key Value Indicators (KVIs) specific to your product, i.e. you will track success metrics regarding volume, adoption and revenue to drive data-informed decision-making.
• Create and keep up-to-date all internal and external product-related documentation, ensuring that sales, marketing and support teams are aligned on the product’s capabilities and value proposition.

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years of end-to-end Product Management experience in financial services, with a proven track record of shipping successful tokenization products.
• Proven experience managing the full product lifecycle, from product discovery (0 to 1) to delivery and scaling operations (1 to N).
• Hands-on product development experience is required (i.e. you have worked in a cross functional team with engineers before, without reliance on engineering proxies).
• Understanding of Distributed Ledger Technology and familiarity with popular layer 1/2 ecosystems is required. 
• BIG BONUS: You have a demonstrable understanding of how apps on the Canton Network are built and operated.
• You are comfortable discussing business models, pricing strategies and tokenomics. 
• Experience building products for institutional clients, understanding regulatory constraints and compliance needs across jurisdictions.
• While not a developer, you can confidently discuss application architecture, smart contract logic, and settlement workflows with engineers.
• Excellent communication skills in English, other languages are beneficial
• Be willing to work at least 3 days per week from our New York office
