About Twinstake

Twinstake is a noncustodial, institutional-grade staking provider. The business operates validators across a wide range of Proof-of-Stake protocols and allows institutional clients to delegate their assets using their preferred custodians to collect staking rewards. It charges a commission on the staking rewards for operating the validators and providing analytics and reporting.

The business' differentiation is based on:

Institutional-grade security and regulatory compliance
Superior transparency in reporting and analytics
Processes and features designed with the institutional workflow in mind

The Role

As Head of Product for Twinstake, you will:

Own the product mission and vision.
Own the product roadmap and communicate it across the business and to clients.
Be the central point for gathering requirements from a diverse set of stakeholders, principally portfolio managers at existing and prospective clients and custodians, but also the business development team, infra/DevOps team, compliance, and legal teams, and others.
Prioritize projects and tasks for the development team so that the whole business has confidence that what we're building at any time is the most important thing to deliver.
Write product requirement documents that clearly define the needs of the product users and the business and give developers the detail they need to be productive when building.
Be the authoritative expert in how the current products work and why, documenting this for others where necessary.
Have insights into where the market is going and the competitive landscape.
Be able to measure performance and quality, define metrics, and monitor them.
Keep the product and development teams aligned and motivated.
Recruit, grow, and develop the skills of the product managers in the team.

You will have
