rails across global corridors.</p> <h1><strong>What We Are Looking For</strong></h1> <p> </p> <ul> <li>A hands-on product executor with deep experience in digital asset infrastructure — someone who

Collaboration</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Lead end-to-end integration of wallet infrastructure for secure custody and treasury management (e.g. MPC wallet providers such as Fireblocks).</li> <li>Integrate crypto transaction screening solutions to enforce AML/CTF controls and on-chain compliance (e.g. Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic).</li> <li>Implement Travel Rule compliance workflows, including integration with protocol providers such as Notabene or Sygna.</li> <li>Work closely with engineering squads to integrate digital asset infrastructure with Thunes' core payment platform.</li> <li>Translate complex technical requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and definition-of-done for engineering teams.</li> <li>Manage third-party vendor relationships throughout the integration lifecycle, from scoping and technical due diligence through to production go-live.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h2><strong>Roadmap Execution & Delivery</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Execute delivery against Thunes' digital asset product roadmap across payments, settlement, and treasury use cases.</li> <li>Manage backlog prioritisation across integration workstreams, balancing technical complexity, regulatory requirements, and corridor go-live timelines.</li> <li>Identify and surface integration blockers early, coordinating across engineering, legal, and compliance to resolve them.</li> <li>Support evaluation of new infrastructure providers and technology partners (custodians, wallet providers, on-chain analytics vendors) as directed.</li> <li>Collaborate with Legal, Risk, and Compliance teams to ensure all product delivery adheres to applicable regulatory frameworks.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h2><strong>Performance, Risk & Compliance Management</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Define and track KPIs for digital asset integrations — including integration uptime, settlement latency, transaction screening false positive rates, and corridor go-live milestones.</li> <li>Develop and maintain risk management approaches to address digital asset-specific challenges such as liquidity fragmentation, on-chain fee volatility, and counterparty risk.</li> <li>Oversee on-chain monitoring workflows to ensure network integrity and AML/CTF compliance.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h2><strong>Ecosystem Engagement & Internal Education</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Act as a subject matter expert on digital asset infrastructure within Thunes, providing education and guidance to internal teams including Sales, Treasury, and Operations.</li> <li>Monitor developments in the digital asset ecosystem — technology advances, regulatory changes, and market trends — and surface relevant insights to the team.</li> <li>Support commercial teams with technical input on corridor prioritisation and partner suitability as needed.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h1><strong>Professional Experience & Qualifications</strong></h1> <p> </p> <ul> <li>5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2–3 years in a hands-on digital asset infrastructure role (not limited to advisory or strategy functions).</li> <li>Demonstrable experience managing end-to-end vendor integrations with infrastructure providers — wallet custody, transaction screening, Travel Rule, or equivalent.</li> <li>Deep understanding of blockchain technology, cryptography, and MPC wallet architecture</li> <li>Familiarity with crypto-specific regulatory frameworks, including MiCA, Travel Rule (FATF Recommendation 16), and VASP licensing requirements.</li> <li>Experience working in agile engineering environments, writing user stories and acceptance criteria directly with development squads.</li> <li>Proven track record in cross-border payments, fintech, or a regulated financial services environment.</li> <li>Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to prioritisation and delivery decisions.</li> <li>Excellent communication and stakeholder management capability — able to work across engineering, legal, compliance, and commercial functions.</li> </ul> <p> </p>
