Responsibilities

• Own timely and predictable delivery of product; own delivery integrity across the product portfolio: dates that mean something, cross-team and cross-entity programs (acquisition integrations, legal-entity restructurings, partner and vendor migrations) executed end-to-end, and early escalation the moment a plan and a commitment diverge.
• Build trust between product and regulatory, compliance, legal, finance, and audit partners; run programs where product delivery and control exposure intersect: new-product regulatory review pipelines with fixed examiner deadlines, remediation of audit findings where the fix is a product build, and delivery against commitments made to regulators.
• Maintain portfolio dependency and capacity integrity: maintain the single source of truth for where resources are allocated, which programs must land when, and what is at risk; surface contradictions such as committed goals with unstaffed critical-path dependencies, duplicate ownership, or cross-team dependencies that live in nobody's plan, before they surface as quarter-end misses; build a credible picture of keep-the-lights-on load so real capacity is known, not guessed.
• Run the product operating rhythm: execute the execution-review cadence for the product org—initiative status that is current and honest, launch readiness that commercial can sell against, and a working blocker-escalation path with SLAs; make status cheap to produce and impossible to fudge.
• Build the TPM team: start as the first program manager for R&D, hands-on, running the highest-exposure programs yourself, and build out the function within a year, hiring 1–2 TPMs against proven need; set the bar for what program management means here: outcome‑accountable, technically fluent, and light‑touch on teams that are already delivering.

Requirements

• 8+ years in technical program management, with 3+ leading TPM teams or functions, ideally including founding one.
• Delivery leadership in a regulated financial environment: experience running programs with examiner deadlines, audit findings, SOX‑adjacent controls, or material‑weakness remediation; understanding of how public‑company audit exposure changes program management.
• Technically credible with platform engineering: ability to read architecture discussions, pressure‑test estimates, and hold your own on sequencing conversations with senior engineers without pretending to be one.
• Demonstrated experience with at least one of: M&A integration, legal‑entity restructuring, or large multi‑party partner migrations.
• Operates through influence in organizations where authority is split across reporting lines; gets things done with people who don’t report to you and don’t want another meeting.
• Writing‑first operator: default artifacts are documents and dependency maps, not status meetings.
• Crypto/digital‑asset domain experience is a plus, not a requirement; regulated‑fintech delivery scar tissue matters more.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary, bonus and stock options
• 100% company‑paid health insurance for employee, partner and dependents
• Up to 4% 401k company match
• Paid parental leave, paid vacation
• Free custom lunches, dinners and snacks
• Computer equipment and workplace furniture to suit your needs
• Great colleagues and inspiring startup environment
