Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience as a product manager in mobile-first technology companies, ideally in fintech or consumer marketplaces
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills—you inspire teams and influence stakeholders
- A proven track record of leading successful product-led growth initiatives (e.g., onboarding, referrals, A/B testing, retention loops, mobile growth channels)
- Highly analytical and metrics-driven: you can frame a growth problem, design experiments, and interpret results with clarity
- Experience with growing adoption at scale
- Comfortable operating autonomously, making decisions with imperfect data, and ruthlessly prioritizing
- Deep curiosity about bitcoin, financial services, and the future of money
- You’re relentlessly resourceful and thrive in fast-moving environments
What the job involves
- As Staff Product Manager, Growth at Shakepay, you’ll report directly to our CEO and take full ownership of our product-led growth strategy.
- You’ll be responsible for discovering and scaling opportunities that increase Shakepay’s reach, activation, engagement, and retention across our consumer product.
- This role is highly strategic and hands-on: you’ll lead bold and unconventional experiments, deeply understand customer behavior, and help shape how millions of Canadians adopt and use bitcoin
- You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering, design, data, marketing, leadership, and other stakeholders to craft and execute high-impact initiatives that grow the business. Your work will directly impact how Canadians discover Shakepay, experience their first bitcoin transaction, and keep coming back
- Define and lead Shakepay’s product growth strategy, focusing on growth model levers like acquisition, activation, referral, and retention
- Translate insights and strategy into compelling narratives that bring the team along — from engineers to executives
- Partner with engineering and design to identify and build growth loops, frictionless onboarding experiences, and habit-forming products
- Collaborate with marketing to align growth product efforts with lifecycle campaigns, performance marketing, and community initiatives
- Work closely with data and research to uncover deep insights into user behavior and identify high-leverage opportunities
- Own and drive initiatives end-to-end: from opportunity sizing to solution discovery to scaling successful bets
- Regularly communicate product strategy and progress with executive leadership and the broader team
Our take
Shakepay is a major platform in Canada for buying and trading Bitcoin, boasting a user base exceeding 1M amid the ongoing surge in cryptocurrency adoption.
In navigating the dynamic digital economy, Shakeypay must balance agility with maintaining trust among both seasoned crypto users and newcomers. The company's strategic decision to focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum, complemented by initiatives like the Shakepay rewards card, reflects its commitment to simplicity and accessibility in a complex market landscape.
Shakepay is focused on enhancing its user-friendly cryptocurrency interface to sustain growth. Recent engagement with regulators highlights its commitment to safe digital asset transactions. Following a data breach, Shakepay swiftly implemented security measures and offers free credit monitoring, reinforcing its dedication to customer data security. As it innovates and expands, Shakepay remains dedicated to advancing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption.

Company benefits
- Equity benefits: We believe everyone at Shakepay should benefit from building a generational company, so every shaker owns stock options
- Get paid in bitcoin: You can choose to take a percentage of your salary in bitcoin. Whether you opt for some or none, the choice to be paid in the hardest, soundest money the world has ever known is yours
- Remote friendly: With a flexible schedule, you can work on your own time, from home or anywhere. And if you're close by, you’re welcome to work in our Montreal or Toronto offices whenever you want. Being a remote-first company is awesome, but there’s value in spending time with your teammates and deepening these bonds. So, each shaker is entitled to 15 days of travel and accommodation to any Canadian city each year, covered by Shakepay
- Generous vacation: Time off is essential, and we highly encourage it. We trust you to take as much as you need, when you need it. Every team member is expected to take at least 20 days of vacation each year. To help make sure you do, after taking 20 days, shakers receive a $1,000 bonus to put towards their next vacation
- Insurance coverage: We offer health, dental, paramedical, disability, life, and travel coverage so you're always at your best. On top of our insurance coverage, all shakers also get access to a health and wellness spending account
- Personal development: It's a marathon, not a sprint. We're here to help you define and hit your personal career goals so that you can get where you want to be. To support our team, every shaker gets a $2,000 yearly budget to spend on learning and development
- Working from home: Working from home should be comfortable. Every shaker gets $1,200 to spruce up their home office and a monthly stipend for home and internet expenses
- Self-sovereignty: The path to self-sovereignty means being in full control of your coins. We offer a budget for shakers to get a self-hosted wallet and to build a self-hosted node
