Decent DAO is looking to hire a Head of Product to join the team.
Who are you?
We are looking for an experienced and visionary Head of Product to lead Decent DAO’s product team and be a major stakeholder in executing our go-to-market strategy. As the Head of Product, you will be a key member of the leadership team, will report to the DAO’s Executive Workstream leader, and will mentor a team of PM leaders, while iterating on the DAO’s GTM strategy and product market fit. The ideal candidate has a vision for the direction of Web3, has product leadership experience, and is great at people management. You will leverage your expertise in trust-minimized, permissionless, decentralized protocols on the blockchain to develop the case for the capabilities which should be developed, drive overall vision and product strategy, and gain leadership buy-in and investment for new capabilities.
In this role you will:
- This role will have three primary responsibilities
- Coach and mentor a team of Product Researchers, Designers, and Managers to effectively prioritize work within our venture studio and ship new protocols and decentralized applications
- Collaborate with other Workstream Leaders to ensure the Product Workstream provides all that is needed for our organization to function and vice versa
- Build a long term product strategy that delivers on our portfolio thesis, and own the execution of that strategy to launch innovative decentralized protocols
- Develop a deep understanding of all stakeholders - data providers, data consumers, developers, validators, nominators, enthusiasts, and other community members - and how to incentivize growth of a flywheel among them
- Write requirements that work backwards from audience needs and maintain a maniacal focus on delivering exponential value for all stakeholders
- Source and evaluate external partners who can help accelerate growth of the protocol
- Monitor project execution and ensure that the project delivery is to the appropriate levels of quality and in line with target dates
- Define, communicate, and execute the product roadmap and priorities internally and externally with the broader Decent DAO ecosystem
- Craft a long term strategy for the Product Workstream as an organization, and lead recruiting and growing the team with excellent product managers
- Be a partner to the Engineering Workstream by providing them with the leverage and focus they need to make maximum impact
Requirements
- 3+ years of direct experience in the design and implementation of public blockchain protocols
- 5+ years of experience as a technical product manager or engineer
- Hands-on experience with the concepts, products, and services that are driving web3 with a particular focus on DeFi including but not limited to token generation events, tokenomics, decentralization, wallets, bridges, cryptography, DEXes, identity management, fraud management, and regulatory compliance
- Experience making build vs. partner decisions in the context of a product strategy
- Clear, concise written and verbal communication and a track record influencing technical and non-technical staff
- Experience managing high-performing teams
- Hands-on experience in or exposure to the Web3 industry; enough to come in with a vision for how Decent DAO and its technology can bring fundamental value.
- Experience working in an early-stage environment (either company or product) to find product-market fit.
- Demonstrate excellent communication, analytical and interpersonal skills.
- Working schedule with at least 6 hours overlap with US time zones.
