About the job
The Product Owner will be responsible for the overall product leadership of Hadron, including product vision, roadmap definition, and delivery execution.
The role serves as the single point of accountability for the platform’s evolution and sits at the intersection of institutional client needs, engineering delivery, and regulatory/compliance requirements.
Unlike a traditional Product Manager role, this position requires clear decision-making authority to:
- Set and enforce roadmap priorities, including pushing back on non-essential requests
- Coordinate with external engineering partners and maintain scope discipline
- Resolve conflicts between client requests, technical feasibility, and compliance constraints
- Make go/no-go decisions on integrations, product features, and releases
- Ensure product development aligns with the long-term architecture and scalability of the Hadron platform
Critical Context
Hadron serves institutional clients globally with diverse and often conflicting tokenization requirements, including different asset classes, blockchain networks, compliance frameworks, and distribution models.
The Product Owner must manage this complexity by maintaining a clear product strategy, prioritizing ruthlessly, and preventing scope creep. The role requires strong ownership and the ability to make difficult prioritization decisions in a fast-moving institutional environment.
Reporting & Collaboration
Reports to: VP Product
The Product Owner works in close partnership with the Head of Expansion & Product Advisor for Hadron to ensure strong alignment between institutional client demand, market opportunities, and the Hadron product roadmap.
Head of Expansion & Product Advisor provides continuous market feedback based on institutional client engagements and strategic partnerships, ensuring that product development reflects real market demand.
The Product Owner is responsible for translating these inputs into product priorities, roadmap decisions, and engineering execution.
Major roadmap initiatives, client-driven feature requests, and new integrations are expected to be aligned between the Product Owner and the Head of Expansion & Product Advisor before implementation.
