Job description

BUILDING THE FUTURE OF OPEN FINANCE Payward - the parent company behind Kraken, NinjaTrader, Breakout, xStocks, Payward Services and CF Benchmarks - has spent the last 15 years building one of the most modern and globally accessible financial infrastructure platforms in the industry, built to advance an open, global financial system. Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our culture page https://www.kraken.com/culture to understand what drives us and how we work. THE TEAM Payward Services is an enterprise infrastructure platform that enables companies to seamlessly integrate trading, payments, funding, and digital asset services through a single unified system. It provides coordinated liquidity, custody, compliance, risk management, and settlement capabilities, reducing operational complexity for fintechs, banks, brokerages, and payment providers. We are looking for a Platform Product Manager to join our Payward Services team. This is a builder: someone who can own a product roadmap end to end, go deep on how a flow actually works, and ship regulated B2B2C products (KYC/KYB, lending, unified APIs) from concept to launch. THE OPPORTUNITY - Own the product roadmap and build-out for our B2B2C platform products (KYC/KYB, lending, unified APIs) - Defining requirements, partnering with Engineering on execution, and driving products from concept through launch and iteration. - Get hands-on with the product itself: how a flow works, where it breaks, what needs to change to make it scale, and what it takes to bring it to market in a regulated environment. - Drive cross-functional execution with Engineering, Legal, Compliance, and Finance to turn roadmap priorities into shipped product. - Partner with Legal and Compliance to ensure new product builds meet regulatory requirements as part of the design and build process, rather than as a downstream gate. - At a high level, support the operational functions tied to our US regulated entities as needed to keep product work moving. WHAT YOU BRING - Strong product management experience: you've owned a roadmap, shipped B2B or B2B2C products, and can speak fluently to product strategy, requirements, and execution. - Direct, hands on experience implementing KYC, either building it in house or standing up a KYC solution to resell or offer to external parties. This is a must have, not a nice to have. - Experience building or managing platform products (shared infrastructure, APIs, internal client or partner models) in a B2B or B2B2C context. - Comfortable getting into the technical weeds with Engineering, not just managing product from the outside. - Working familiarity with the US regulated financial landscape, enough to build products that meet regulatory requirements without needing a translator. - A track record of driving complex, cross functional builds with no formal authority. - An excellent communicator across regulators, boards, engineers, and commercial partners. - Strong knowledge of Financial Services industry through - A working understanding of the financial services industry - whether gained at a major financial institution, a fintech, a startup, or through adjacent regulated experience - enough to reason about how regulation, compliance, and money movement shape product decisions without needing it explained from scratch..
