The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Manager, Product Partnerships & Initiatives to work directly with the Head of Product across stablecoins, tokenization, and platform infrastructure.

This role blends two high-impact responsibilities:

• Product Partnerships — identifying, evaluating, and integrating external partners critical to our product ecosystem.

• Product Initiatives — driving strategic, cross-functional projects that strengthen our product org and accelerate execution.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of product, partnerships, strategy, and execution. You’ll own high-leverage work that shapes our roadmap, deepens partner connectivity, and enables new product capabilities.

Over time, you’ll grow into a product leader who owns strategic outcomes, whether through partner-enabled products, network expansion, or new product domains.

What You’ll Do

Product Partnerships (External-Facing Ownership)

• Identify & evaluate opportunities: Source and assess potential partners aligned with our product strategy and growth priorities.

• Negotiate agreements: Lead commercial and technical negotiations, including terms, success metrics, and integration scope.

• Manage integrations: Coordinate with Product, Engineering, and Compliance to ensure integrations meet partner expectations and deliver real value.

• Drive partnership strategy: Shape a roadmap for partner capabilities that unlock new product features, distribution, or markets.

• Own partner relationships: Act as the primary point of contact for partners, ensuring relationships stay productive, healthy, and aligned with long-term objectives.

Product Initiatives (Internal Cross-Functional Leadership)

• Run strategic projects: Lead product-led initiatives that span teams—e.g., platform improvements, process redesign, pricing or analytics projects, cross-product workflows.

• Support strategic planning: Partner with the Head of Product to craft and align on OKRs, priorities, and multi-quarter product strategy.

• Strengthen execution: Improve product operating rhythms—reviews, planning cycles, decision logging, and launch readiness.

• Drive clarity & communication: Synthesize complex decisions into crisp, actionable narratives for internal and external stakeholders.

About You

• 4–8 years of experience in product partnerships, strategy consulting, business operations, or product management.

• Strong commercial and analytical instincts; capable of structuring deals, assessing trade-offs, and evaluating partner fit.

• Exceptional communicator; able to articulate complex concepts clearly and persuasively.

• Comfortable working directly with executives and external partners.

• Skilled at navigating ambiguity, building structure, and driving cross-functional execution.

• Deep curiosity for technology and how systems, integrations, and networks scale.

• MBA or experience in high-growth or regulated environments is a plus.

What Success Looks Like

• High-value partnerships identified, negotiated, and successfully integrated.

• Strategic initiatives delivered with clear outcomes and measurable impact.

• Product org operates with improved clarity, focus, and velocity.

• You develop the product judgment and cross-functional credibility to own strategic product outcomes or a partner-driven line of business.

Why Join Paxos

You will shape the future of how money and assets move globally through a role that blends product thinking, partnerships, and strategic execution.
You’ll gain visibility across the company, work directly with senior leadership, and graduate into a role owning product strategy, partner-driven products, or emerging product domains.
