Product Manager

About the role

Bastion provides the regulated infrastructure businesses need to hold, move, and issue stablecoins. Its platform combines custodial wallets, global payment orchestration, and stablecoin issuance, which can be used independently or connected into a single end‑to‑end flow. Bastion operates through its own regulated entities with compliance and risk controls built directly into the platform, and can also support customers operating under their own licenses.

We are looking for a Product Manager to own the Shared Services vertical — the set of foundational capabilities that every other product area at Bastion depends on. You will turn ambiguous, compliance‑heavy problems into clear, sequenced, shippable work, owning the roadmap, requirements, compliance checkpoints, quality bar, and stakeholder communication for a vertical that gates customer commitments across the platform. Shared Services sits where product, engineering, and compliance meet, focusing on controls and obligations that make stablecoin infrastructure trustworthy: identity and due‑diligence flows, third‑party risk controls, regulatory reporting, and the policies that govern how money moves. This is a high‑leverage IC role with real ownership from week one, and may be up‑leveled to Senior PM based on candidate performance.

Responsibilities

• Map the Shared Services surface area: the foundational capabilities other verticals depend on, their current state, and where delivery risk is concentrated.
• Meet partners in Engineering, Compliance, and GTM; learn escalation paths and how Shared Services work gates commitments elsewhere.
• Take ownership of requirements for at least one active compliance‑critical workstream and turn it into clear, sequenced, engineer‑ready specs.
• Stand up a lightweight triage cadence so incoming requirements and issues stop piling up.
• Ship or unblock visible progress on at least one customer‑gating milestone.
• Own the Shared Services roadmap end to end: themes, sequencing, milestones, and compliance checkpoints aligned to company priorities.
• Run a predictable operating rhythm (planning, triage, risk tracking, and stakeholder updates) that Engineering and Compliance can rely on.
• Drive requirements and delivery across several concurrent regulated workstreams, holding the quality bar on each.
• Partner with Compliance to define and track checkpoints that keep flows defensible without stalling delivery.
• Keep stakeholders across verticals current on status, risks, and tradeoffs for the items that gate their commitments.
• Sustain delivery across several regulated workstreams with the quality bar consistently met.
• Build the instrumentation and feedback loops that make prioritization and compliance tracking repeatable rather than ad hoc.
• Institutionalize the requirements, triage, and checkpoint practices so the vertical runs consistently as load grows.
• Anticipate upcoming regulatory and customer obligations and get ahead of them in the roadmap.
• Find ways to reduce recurring load on Engineering through better sequencing and reusable capability.

Requirements

• Open to candidates anywhere in the United States.
• Advantage for those located in, or willing to relocate or travel often to, New York City.

Qualifications

• Preference for prior experience with fintech, compliance, or risk.
• No prior experience working with stablecoins is required.

Skills

• Turning open‑ended compliance obligations (identity and due‑diligence flows, third‑party risk controls, regulatory reporting, travel‑rule requirements) into clear, shippable product work.
• Sequencing a heavily loaded vertical so the highest‑gating items land first.
• Reasoning clearly about stablecoin infrastructure (issuance, custody, settlement, and on‑chain movement) to make sound product tradeoffs.
• Keeping a reliable triage and requirements cadence under a heavy, shifting workload.
• Creating clarity from ambiguity when obligations are incomplete or customer needs conflict.
