VP of Product, Tokenized DepositsFull-time
About DCMDCM Corp Limited builds interbank infrastructure for tokenized deposits in emerging markets. Our entry point is the payment itself: ISO 20022-native messaging with tokenized settlement, running alongside banks' existing core systems rather than replacing them. Our technology already runs a national interbank payment network in production. DCM is the exclusive implementation provider of tokenized deposit solutions for the ADI Foundation, the Abu Dhabi-based foundation backed by IHC, bringing these solutions to banks across MENA and sub-Saharan Africa.
The roleYou will own the product: strategy, roadmap, and the way we implement it with banks. You will build and lead the product function, working closely with the leadership team.
What you will do
- * Own the roadmap for our two products: Side-core, a layer that runs alongside a bank's core, and PMP (Payment Messaging Processing), an ISO 20022-native messaging and settlement platform
- Watch the market and shape where the product goes next: regulation, competing platforms, bank demand, and initiatives like CBDC and interbank ledger projects
- Develop the product line beyond current deployments (new capabilities, new deployment models, new markets) with a clear case for each
- Decide what is standard product and what is customization, and hold that line with clients
- Define our standard implementation approach with banks, from first workshop to pilot to production
- Turn what we learn at each client into product, with one prioritized backlog across all projects
- Work with engineering and partners to deliver, and take responsibility for acceptance
What you bring
- * Tokenized money shipped to production (tokenized deposits, stablecoins or DLT-based settlement) in a regulated setting
- A product delivered to banks or payment operators as clients: workshops, scoping, pilot, production, security reviews
- Strong command of payments infrastructure and ISO 20022
- A record of growing a product line: finding what the market needs next and shipping it, not only running an existing roadmap
- 12+ years of experience, at least 5 leading products for B2B infrastructure
- Experience owning a product when engineering sits in another organization
- Comfortable acting as solution architect on early client projects
- Fluent English; based in the UAE or willing to travel
Nice to have

- Familiarity with interbank ledger initiatives (Swift, regional networks) and EVM chains
- Product experience under SOC 2 or ISO 27001/27017/27018
- Public speaking or published work on tokenization
What we offer
