Our client is building the infrastructure that connects decentralized finance (DeFi) yield strategies with real-world assets (RWAs) — bringing institutional-grade, on-chain yield opportunities to a broader set of users. Their protocol gives users access to structured yield strategies — including fixed-rate looping, carry trades, and leveraged positions — without requiring them to manage the underlying complexity of collateral routing, borrow venue selection, or position unwinding. By abstracting away this operational overhead, the platform bridges traditional finance and crypto-native protocols, giving investors access to diversified, transparent, and compliant yield products backed by tokenized real-world assets (treasuries, credit, commodities, and more).
They're a small, fast-moving team that cares deeply about security, user trust, and making complex financial products feel simple.
The Role
We're recruiting a Junior Product Manager on behalf of our client to join their product team and help build the next generation of DeFi yield and RWA products. You'll work closely with engineering, design, compliance, and business development to ship features that make on-chain yield accessible, safe, and understandable for end users.
This is a great role for someone early in their PM career who is excited about crypto, DeFi, and the intersection of traditional and decentralized finance, and who wants to learn by doing alongside experienced product, engineering, and finance professionals.
What You'll Do
- Support the end-to-end product lifecycle: gathering requirements, writing specs, coordinating with engineering and design, and tracking launches
- Help translate complex DeFi and RWA concepts (structured yield strategies such as fixed-rate looping, carry trades, and leveraged positions, tokenization, smart contract mechanics, custody, compliance requirements) into clear product requirements and user-facing experiences that abstract away collateral routing, borrow venue selection, and position unwinding for the end user
- Conduct user research and competitive analysis across DeFi protocols, yield platforms, and RWA issuers
- Own smaller product features and workflows end-to-end, from discovery through launch and post-launch iteration
- Analyze product and on-chain data (TVL, yield performance, user funnels, retention) to identify opportunities and inform decisions
- Write clear PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria
- Partner with compliance and legal teams to ensure products meet relevant regulatory requirements for tokenized assets
- Help maintain product documentation, changelogs, and internal knowledge bases
- Participate in QA and testing, especially around smart contract interactions and transaction flows
- Gather and synthesize feedback from users, community channels, and internal stakeholders
What We're Looking For
- 1–2+ years of experience in product management, product analysis, business analysis, or a related role (internships and strong adjacent experience considered)
- Genuine interest in DeFi, blockchain, and crypto markets; familiarity with concepts like liquidity pools, staking, lending protocols, tokenization, or structured yield strategies (e.g., looping, carry trades, leveraged positions)
- Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with data to inform decisions (SQL or spreadsheet fluency a plus)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to explain technical and financial concepts clearly
