Principal Product Manager, Canton Network Ecosystem - Digital Asset

Required:

7+ years of product management experience, with significant time spent in ecosystem coordination, partner management, or community-facing roles

Demonstrated ability to facilitate governance processes, working groups, or standards-body activities across multiple independent organizations.

Strong written and verbal communication skills — you will be the voice of Digital Asset in community forums, meetings, and documentation.

Ability to understand distributed-systems architecture at a conceptual level and translate between engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders.

Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where you must manage ambiguity, balance competing stakeholder needs, and make prioritization tradeoffs with limited information.

Preferred:

Experience in open-source ecosystem management, developer relations, or standards-body coordination.

Familiarity with blockchain or distributed ledger technology.

Technical background (engineering degree, prior development experience, or similar); coding skills are not required, but you should be comfortable using AI tools to read and interpret code when needed.

Experience coordinating across product and engineering teams in a matrixed organization.

The Principal Product Manager for the Canton Network Ecosystem is the primary point of contact between Digital Asset's product and engineering organizations and the Canton Network ecosystem. You will own Digital Asset's contributions to community operations, governance facilitation, and cross-team coordination — ensuring that the needs of the ecosystem are understood, documented, and routed to the right teams, and that Digital Asset's plans and contributions are visible, coherent, and well-understood by the community.

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Director, Canton Network Ecosystem. You will work as a peer alongside product managers responsible for Splice, Wallets, SDKs, dApps, and the Canton protocol.

Identify emerging needs and opportunities across the ecosystem, characterize and document them, and route them to the appropriate product and engineering teams within Digital Asset.

Maintain a working understanding of Digital Asset's product roadmaps sufficient to recognize when a community proposal is already covered by or could fit with planned work.

Help form special interest groups around technical topics drawing community interest, and facilitate the development of technical strategy, design, and coordinated development work across participants.

Influence and coordinate across Digital Asset's product roadmaps to ensure they remain visible and coherent to the community.
