About Hashgraph

Hashgraph is a fast-growing software company committed to supporting, developing and servicing Hedera, an open source, proof-of-stake platform. Hedera is EVM-compatible and has been specifically built to meet the needs of enterprise and web3 applications, which require speed, security, stability and sustainability. Hedera's public network is governed by industry-leading organizations, spanning 11 sectors and 14 regions who oversee the development and direction of the decentralized platform.

About the Role

Hashgraph has spent years proving Hedera works at production scale. Now we're building something new on top of it - a payments and settlement product - and that depends on one thing: whether the go-to-market is being driven by someone who has actually operated in that world. We are hiring a Head of Product Management to own that go-to-market and program execution - not a deep technical expert, but a market-facing, customer-facing, use-case-facing product leader. This is the person who aligns internal teams: BD, Marketing, Engineering, Executives - and external partners - on/off-ramps, Financial Institutions - behind one shipped, trusted product.

This role exists to ensure that our new product - built for instant settlement of trades and payments, domestic or cross-border - lands with real customers and partners. The initial focus areas are cross-border payments, settlements, treasury operations, and tokenized deposits. This is a role for someone who is comfortable defining the product alongside the market, not just executing an already-fixed spec.

Responsibilities

• Bring outside-in credibility on payments, settlement, and banking-rail use cases to sharpen how we define and position the product
• Own go-to-market execution for the product. Turning a roadmap Engineering is already driving into real customer and partner traction.
• Build and close external partnerships with node operators, on/off-ramp providers, financial institutions, all in lockstep with BD and Marketing.
• Design and run trials with external stakeholders - node operators, partners, and customers - to prove the product works outside our own walls.
• Ensure release readiness on performance, security, and usability by asking the tough questions before launch, not after.
• Own and represent the Product Roadmap end to end.
• Own P&L in partnership with the Sales and Engineering leadership team.
• Run program management across every stakeholder group. Schedules, reporting, and keeping BD, Marketing, and Engineering in sync. Utilizing direct, executive-level reporting to leadership.

Core Capabilities

• Real operating experience in payments, settlement, or banking-rail businesses. You understand cross-border payments, stablecoins, on/off-ramps, and how players like SWIFT and Stripe fit together.

• Proven go-to-market and program management range: you can define a product's positioning and use cases with the market, and also run the room across a dozen stakeholders.
