Staff Product Manager, Tokenization

About the role

Ripple is hiring a Staff Product Manager for tokenization in New York. The role owns the two protocol workstreams that define how far tokenization goes on the XRP Ledger: token standards and privacy. Specifications you write become amendments to an open-source ledger adopted by XRPL validators and used by real institutions.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the tokenization roadmap: MPT evolution, transfer controls, corporate actions and programmable tokens, deciding what belongs in the protocol versus above it.
• Lead the privacy roadmap: take Confidential MPTs from mainnet launch to institutional scale, including key rotation and recovery, performance targets and confidential vaults.
• Write feature specifications and build consensus with Ripple engineering, XRPL validators and open-source contributors to turn proposals into amendments.
• Set requirements and priorities for each new asset class and shape the go-to-market for capital markets participants.
• Make new primitives usable on day one by bringing hardware wallets, custodians and issuer platforms along.
• Scope the compliance capabilities regulated issuers need on XRPL.
• Partner with developer growth and documentation teams so institutions can originate assets without a Ripple engineer in the room.
• Define metrics such as XRPL's share of tokenized assets, issuance volume and ecosystem integrations.

Required profile

• Product-manager experience shipping technical platform or protocol products, typically six or more years, with a record of taking complex ideas to adoption.
• Clear writing: specifications, requirements and positioning that align engineers, partners and executives.
• A collaborative approach that builds alignment across distributed teams and partners, and shapes roadmaps even when answers are not yet known.

Nice to have

• Capital markets experience: funds, issuance, collateral and settlement workflows, or regulatory considerations for institutional issuers.
• Experience with open-source, standards or community governance processes.

What we offer

• Annual base salary range for New York of $180,000-$225,000 USD, plus competitive benefits covering healthcare, retirement, family support and parental leave, a mobile phone stipend, R&R days and wellness reimbursement.
• In-office collaboration with flexible attendance, a professional development budget and bi-weekly all-company meetings.
