VP of Product, Stablecoin Issuance

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world's most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto. We are seeking a VP of Product to help scale our GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoin issuance business.

This role sits at the intersection of traditional financial plumbing and programmable digital money , partnering directly with major U.S. banks and ecosystem partners while shaping the core primitives and operational processes that power regulated stablecoin issuance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive Technical Sales & Implementation with Banks (25%): Partner with the largest U.S. banks and financial institutions to understand their needs and implement stablecoin solutions for treasury management, cross-border settlement, client offerings, and more.
• Build & Strengthen the Partner Ecosystem (25%): Collaborate with exchanges, card networks, payment companies, foreign banks, asset managers, and other key players to deliver best-in-class features and co-develop capabilities that make our stablecoins the preferred infrastructure.
• Ensure Institutional-Grade Compliance & Operations (25%): Lead cross-functional processes with compliance, regulatory, finance, accounting, treasury management, operations, audit, and other teams. Maintain the highest regulatory standards while enabling speed and innovation.
• Work Hand-in-Hand with Engineering (25%): Define and prioritize core product features by deeply scoping problems, articulating constraints, and co-creating solutions with engineering.

Technical Skills:

• Define stablecoin issuance product strategy, primitives, and roadmap across onboarding, mint/burn, controls, reporting/attestations, and integrations
• Translate complex regulatory + technical constraints into clear product requirements and partner-ready implementations
• Lead multi-stakeholder programs across compliance, regulatory, finance/accounting, treasury, operations, audit, BD, and engineering in a high-stakes environment
• Drive outcomes that scale issuance volume, expand partner ecosystems, and improve time-to-implement while maintaining institutional-grade controls
• Navigate OCC/banking-grade governance, auditability expectations, and risk management practices to enable responsible innovation
• Build strong cross-functional operating rhythms and decision-making frameworks that keep delivery moving without compromising controls
• Influence senior bank executives and internal leaders through crisp narratives, tradeoff framing, and execution clarity
• Align technical, operational, and commercial stakeholders on sequencing, launch readiness, and success metrics

Requirements:

• Track record shipping complex fintech/payments/banking products with meaningful partner and regulatory dependencies
• Proven ability to run end-to-end cross-functional programs in regulated environments (risk, controls, audit, policy, compliance)
• Strong stakeholder management with executive-level customers/partners and deep technical counterparts
• Bias for ownership and execution in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

Bonus Points:

• Direct experience with stablecoin issuance, tokenization, or institutional crypto infrastructure
• Experience building platform products and partner ecosystems (APIs, integrations, co-development)
• Prior work in or with federally regulated financial institutions (bank controls/governance)
