Product Manager

Function is building the premier infrastructure layer for making Bitcoin a productive asset across DeFi. Our core product, FBTC, is a secure, omnichain wrapper for Bitcoin that enables yield generation, lending, and DeFi composability without counterparty risk. Currently we have over $1.5B in TVL across 10 chains.

Backed by leading investors including Galaxy, Antalpha, Mirana, and Mantle, we are rapidly expanding across L2s, emerging ecosystems, and institutional partners.

We're looking for a Product Lead to drive execution across our yield marketplace, including BTCFi primitives, DeFi integrations, and tokenized RWA expansion. You'll own the bridge between leadership, business development, and engineering — ensuring high-leverage ideas become reality. You will be the quarterback of execution across Function's most strategic bets.

You will work directly with the CEO, COO, and cross-functional leads to:

• Drive GTM execution of FBTC across DeFi ecosystems and institutional integrations

• Validate and execute new vault structures (DeFi, RWAs, etc.)

• Interface with key partners (CEXs, custodians, fund managers, protocols)

• Deliver roadmap clarity, speed, and precision to engineering

• Track market dynamics and ensure our product edges remain defensible

This role sits at the intersection of structured strategic thinking, fast-paced, crypto-native execution and professional institutional product management. You'll be expected to demonstrate ownership over your domain, experiment new product ideas, and deliver results.
