Product Manager, Staking & Lending

Paxos is on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like Mastercard, Visa, Robinhood, and Pay Pal.

As a Senior Product Manager for Staking & Yield, you will build new institutional‑grade staking and yield products from the ground up, enabling our partners to offer compliant, secure, and scalable yield experiences to their end users.

In this role, you will own the end‑to‑end strategy, roadmap, and execution for Paxos’ staking and yield product capabilities. You will integrate external staking and yield platforms into Paxos’ regulated infrastructure, design seamless client experiences, and ensure products meet the high bar required by global financial institutions.

You will partner closely with Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Finance, Operations, and Go‑to‑Market teams to bring new products from 0 to 1 and scale them across multiple partners, assets, and chains.

• Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for institutional staking and yield products at Paxos.
• Design end‑to‑end staking and yield experiences for enterprise partners and institutional clients, from onboarding and asset eligibility through ongoing position management and reporting.
• Lead complex integrations between Paxos, external staking / yield platforms, custodians, and enterprise partners, including APIs, transaction flows, rewards/interest flows, and reconciliation.
• Translate partner and client needs into clear product requirements and specifications; prioritize across assets, chains, and integrations based on impact, risk, and effort.
• Collaborate with Legal, Compliance, Risk, Finance, and Operations to ensure products meet regulatory, operational, and accounting requirements in multiple jurisdictions.
• Partner with Business Development and Sales to evaluate potential providers, shape commercial structures, and support go‑to‑market for new staking and yield capabilities.
• Define and monitor key metrics (e.g., staked/yield‑bearing AUM, adoption, uptime, reward/interest accuracy, NPS) and use data to guide iteration.
• Conduct ongoing market and competitive research on institutional staking and yield products, including both CeFi lenders and DeFi protocols, to identify new opportunities and inform risk‑aware product design.
• Act as the internal subject‑matter expert for staking and institutional yield, educating stakeholders on mechanics, risks, and integration patterns.

• 6–8+ years of Product Management experience in crypto, fintech, capital markets, or institutional financial infrastructure.
• Proven track record building and launching staking and/or yield products for institutional or enterprise clients (e.g., at crypto infrastructure providers, custodians, exchanges, or institutional platforms).
• Deep understanding of proof‑of‑stake, validator operations, liquid staking, and how custodians and platforms integrate with external staking providers (key management, slashing, reward flows, fees).
• Strong technical acumen and experience working on API‑driven, backend, or platform products; comfortable partnering with engineers on architecture, trade‑offs, and edge cases.
• Experience working closely with Legal, Compliance, and Risk in a regulated environment, ideally in or adjacent to a financial institution, broker‑dealer, trust company, or similar.
• Excellent product discovery skills: you can deeply understand institutional workflows and translate them into scalable product capabilities.
• Data‑driven decision maker with experience defining and instrumenting metrics to guide prioritization and measure success.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to align senior stakeholders and external partners around a clear roadmap.

• Direct experience with institutional staking platforms or liquid staking protocols, including designing reporting, controls, and operational workflows for institutional users.
• Exposure to institutional crypto yield and lending businesses, and familiarity with how institutions access CeFi and DeFi yield (collateralization, risk limits, counter party and smart‑contract risk).
• Experience at a B2B infrastructure company serving banks, brokers, or large fintechs via APIs.

At Paxos, you’ll work with a talented team that values real‑time candor, shared commitment to excellence, and a strong sense of ownership. You’ll help design the next generation of institutional digital asset products and directly shape how the financial system evolves.
