Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join our Digital Assets Treasury function. This role sits at the intersection of digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, treasury operations, and institutional financial markets, with a strong emphasis on applying digital asset expertise to complex treasury initiatives.

The ideal candidate brings meaningful experience working with blockchain-based financial infrastructure, digital asset custody, on-chain settlement, tokenization, and/or digital asset transaction workflows, combined with the technical program management capabilities needed to move complex initiatives from strategy through execution.

You will work directly with the Head of Digital Assets Treasury and partner closely with product, engineering, finance, legal, compliance, and other stakeholders to advance initiatives involving the integration of digital assets and blockchain technologies into treasury and financial infrastructure.

This is a high-impact role for someone who understands the evolving digital asset ecosystem and can translate that knowledge into structured programs, informed technical and financial decisions, and successful execution.

This position is a hybrid role located in Foster City, CA. Visa requires at least three days in the office, with specific in-office expectations confirmed by the Hiring Manager.

What You Will Do

• Lead complex Digital Assets Treasury initiatives spanning digital asset custody, on-chain settlement, blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, capital markets, and treasury operations.
• Drive programs involving on-chain transaction and funds flows, including how digital assets move between wallets, custodians, blockchain networks, treasury systems, and other financial infrastructure.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to assess blockchain architecture, transaction lifecycle, smart-contract and tokenization considerations, Layer 1 / Layer 2 infrastructure, integrations, and operational dependencies relevant to treasury initiatives.
• Serve as a key connection point between digital asset, crypto, product, engineering, and treasury teams, translating blockchain and technical concepts into financial and operational implications.
• Evaluate digital asset infrastructure and workflows to identify operational risks, technical dependencies, control considerations, scalability issues, and implementation trade-offs.
• Apply knowledge of institutional digital asset markets and blockchain-enabled financial infrastructure to help shape program direction and execution priorities.
• Stay informed on developments across the digital asset ecosystem and bring informed perspectives on how evolving technologies and market infrastructure may affect Treasury initiatives.
• Own end-to-end technical program delivery across multi-system, multi-stakeholder Digital Assets Treasury initiatives.
• Establish clear workplans for ambiguous or early-stage initiatives, defining scope, milestones, sequencing, dependencies, risks, and decision points.
• Coordinate execution across product, engineering, treasury, finance, legal, compliance, and other stakeholders.
• Present technical, financial, and program trade-offs clearly to senior stakeholders and executive audiences.
• Establish program governance, surface risks and dependencies, and maintain accountability across complex workstreams.

• Digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure
• On-chain transaction management and settlement
• Blockchain transaction lifecycles
• Tokenization and tokenized assets
• Layer 1 / Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure
• Blockchain-based payments or financial infrastructure
• Strong understanding of how digital asset infrastructure intersects with treasury, liquidity, payments, capital markets, risk, and traditional financial systems.
• Ability to engage credibly with technical teams on blockchain architecture, custody models, transaction flows, systems integrations, and on-chain infrastructure without requiring significant ramp-up.
• Demonstrated intellectual curiosity and active engagement with the evolving digital assets landscape, including the ability to form informed perspectives on emerging technologies, market infrastructure, and institutional adoption.
• Strong technical program management experience within digital assets, fintech, payments, capital markets, treasury, or complex financial infrastructure.
• Demonstrated experience owning complex, multi-workstream programs from early-stage definition through implementation.
• Strong enterprise systems literacy with the ability to understand architecture, funds flows, system dependencies, and integration logic.
