Company mission
To eliminate financial barriers, evolve the global economy, and change the world for better.
Role
Who you are
- 10+ years in product management or adjacent leadership roles, with 5+ years deeply embedded in DeFi, crypto markets, or yield products
- Proven expertise in on-chain lending, staking, liquidity provisioning, and the emerging RWA/tokenization landscape
- Demonstrated success owning a zero-to-one product that achieved meaningful market adoption and revenue
- Credibility with both blockchain engineers and traditional-finance executives; able to translate between smart-contract details and boardroom impact
- Polished communicator and storyteller who can influence C-level stakeholders and inspire cross-functional teams
- Data-driven strategist with strong commercial instincts and a relentless bias for action
- Startup or high-growth experience is a strong plus, showing you can thrive with speed, ambiguity, and limited structure
- MBA, CFA, or prior experience in asset management / capital markets is also advantageous
What the job involves
- OKX is hiring a Principal Product Manager to own and scale a brand-new decentralized-yield business line
- You will be the architect, strategist, and public face of this product: setting the long-term vision, winning executive buy-in, and delivering a platform that lets users earn from tokenized real-world assets (RWA)
- The position begins as a senior individual contributor but with full product P&L ownership
- You’ll shape strategy, ship the first releases, and—once traction is proven—hire and coach a small PM team to accelerate growth worldwide
- Craft a long-term vision and near-term roadmap grounded in market data, user research, and deep DeFi/RWA insight
- Regularly brief OKX executives on market shifts, competitive moves, and strategic bets; secure resources and drive cross-org alignment
- Source, evaluate, and integrate best-in-class DeFi protocols and tokenized-asset partners; negotiate win-win commercial terms
- Deliver intuitive, transparent experiences that abstract on-chain complexity while clearly surfacing yield sources and risks
- Lead engineering, design, risk, and compliance from concept to launch; define KPIs, run experiments, and continually raise the bar
- Represent OKX at industry events and with institutional partners, establishing the company as a thought leader in DeFi yield and RWA
- Recruit, mentor, and inspire 2–3 PMs as the product line expands across regions and asset classes
Our take
While cryptocurrency holds the promise of freedom in personal finances and the possibility of large financial rewards through trading, it can be intimidating to get started. OKX, a long-standing crypto currency exchange, exists to solve that problem, removing the knowledge barriers to cryptocurrency trading with an easy-to-use, all in one platform.
OKX is one of the larger cryptocurrency exchanges, though it is a bit smaller than the market leaders Binance and Coinbase Exchange. Where it shines is in the sheer range of its services which are designed to be versatile enough for any user, ranging from a crypto exchange to NFT and decentralized finance investment products. With a reputation for security and reliability, it has a userbase of over 50+ million active accounts in over 180 countries.
OKX is using its structural position in cryptomarkets to help support the entire sector, announcing a market recovery fund to protect crypto firms facing collapse following the FTX crisis. Additionally, it is expanding into Web3 gaming with a 2023 partnership with Thirdverse, further increasing the scope of its offering to its client base. As long as it can continue to weather the tough market conditions for cryptocurrency it should maintain its excellent position to continue its growth.
