Role Description Our client is seeking a visionary Head of Product to own the product vision and strategy. This individual will transition a fast-moving thesis into high-scale products utilized by both humans and agents. Operating as a peer to the executive leadership team, the successful candidate will build and scale the product function from scratch. This role is designed for a strategic leader who maintains a builder's mindset and is eager to execute at the ground level. Key Responsibilities - Define Product Strategy: Establish the vision, direction, and product roadmap for the agentic economy; ruthlessly prioritize what to build and what to decline. - Adapt Core Infrastructure: Transform our client's existing onchain distribution and incentive engines into products optimized for autonomous agents. - Drive User Acquisition: Identify and execute strategic wedges that onboard the next wave of human and agent participants into the ecosystem. - Execute Rapid Prototyping: Build minimum viable products (MVPs), test hypotheses swiftly, iterate based on real-world feedback, and scale successful initiatives. - Establish Data-Driven Culture: Define key performance metrics, manage product lines from a P&L perspective, and guide product iterations through robust data analysis. - Lead the Product Function: Navigate high ambiguity, manage full end-to-end product lifecycles, and eventually recruit and lead a world-class product team. Qualifications - Proven Product Leadership: Extensive experience turning strong product visions into scalable, real-world products with measurable adoption. - Deep AI Fluency: Active engagement at the frontier of AI applications and agents. Experience building with existing models rather than training them, with a track record of testing new AI tools ahead of the curve. - First-Principles Thinking: Strong ability to design and analyze complex systems, including novel use cases, incentives, supply/demand dynamics, and mechanism design. - Crypto & Web3 Literacy: A solid understanding of blockchain technology and what onchain primitives unlock. - Decisive & Autonomous: Comfort making difficult, high-stakes decisions independently without relying on consensus or pre-established roadmaps. - Business Acumen: Ability to think commercially in terms of P&L per product line rather than simply measuring velocity or features per sprint. - Enormous Scope & Impact: Direct ownership of a foundational product layer in a rapidly emerging sector. Requirements - Fully Remote Environment: Work with an international, highly distributed team of unusually resourceful, self-motivated builders. - In-Person Offsites: Semi-annual company retreats to collaborate, align, and connect face-to-face. - Dynamic Culture: A collaborative, zero-bureaucracy environment focused entirely on shipping impact rather than managing busywork. Application Process To be considered by our client, applicants must submit a demonstration of something they have built or formulated within the past 90 days. This can include: - A live product or prototype - A functional AI agent - A sharp, deeply reasoned written viewpoint detailing the trajectory of AI and the agentic economy Our client prioritizes tangible proof of capability and builder-native thinking over traditional resumes alone.
