Director, Crypto & On-Chain Product

++Position Summary++

Grayscale is seeking a Director, Crypto & On-Chain Product to drive the development of new investment products that sit at the intersection of on-chain ecosystems and product development.

This role blends deep crypto fluency with structured product thinking. You’ll evaluate emerging protocols, token mechanics, and ecosystem dynamics — then translate those insights into actionable investment ideas, product structures, and go-to-market strategies. You’ll work closely with legal, research, operations, and distribution teams to guide products from concept through launch, and collaborate externally with crypto-native investors, protocol teams, and other stakeholders across the digital asset space.

This is a strategic, hands-on role for someone with a strong blockchain and crypto foundation, clear product instincts, and a desire to help shape the future of institutional crypto investing.

++Key Responsibilities:++

• Source and evaluate on-chain investment opportunities, including single tokens, baskets, categories, and structural innovations, grounded in investor demand and ecosystem dynamics.
• Lead the development and validation of new crypto investment products, from early-stage thesis through launch readiness.
• Conduct research into token mechanics, protocol design, and market structure to inform product feasibility and risk assessments.
• Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Research, Operations, and Distribution to define product specs, pricing models, and go-to-market plans.
• Engage with crypto-native communities, DAOs, governance forums, and other stakeholders to stay close to ecosystem developments.
• Communicate product theses, strategy rationale, and performance drivers through internal memos, investor-facing materials, and dashboards.
• Contribute to Grayscale’s broader product roadmap and capital formation strategy, helping define where and how institutional capital can access the evolving crypto landscape.

++Qualifications:++

• 5–10 years of experience in product management, investment strategy, crypto research, or asset management — with direct exposure to digital assets.
• Strong understanding of blockchain protocols, tokenomics, and blockchain and crypto market mechanics.
• Experience translating crypto-native insights into structured investment products — with an eye toward compliance, scalability, and investor alignment.
• Familiarity with tools like Dune, Token Terminal, DeFiLlama, Nansen, and experience working with on-chain data.
• Proven ability to communicate complex topics clearly, concisely, and credibly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Highly organized and self-directed; thrives in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities.
• Strong interpersonal and project management skills — able to lead cross-functional initiatives from idea to execution.
