Senior Manager, Digital Assets Operations

Job Description:

The Role

As a Senior Manager within Digital Asset Operations, you will play a key role in supporting Fidelity's digital asset operating model after products are live, while also partnering with Product Launch during readiness and transition activities. This role sits within the Digital Assets team in Global Product Solutions (GPS) and is focused on ensuring the digital asset ecosystem is configured correctly, owned correctly, documented clearly, and operating effectively across FFIO service lines and business partners.

This role combines two important responsibilities: platform coordination and service model governance. From a platform coordination perspective, you will help ensure that the required custodians, wallets, vendor applications, internal platforms, investment universe data, staking data, reference data, and related operating inputs are identified, tracked, and completed by the appropriate system or process owners. From a service model perspective, you will help maintain clarity around roles, responsibilities, handoffs, escalation paths, controls, procedures, and service line ownership as digital asset products and capabilities evolve.

This role is not intended to perform Accounting, Shareholder Reporting, Pricing, Recon, or Technology configuration directly. Those activities should continue to be performed by the accountable service lines and system owners. The Senior Manager, Digital Asset Operations will serve as the coordination, readiness, and governance layer that ensures those teams have what they need, that dependencies are tracked, that gaps are escalated, and that the operating model remains clear and sustainable.

You will work closely with Product Launch, Accounting, Fund Admin, Recon, Pricing, Custody, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Legal, external providers, and other partners to support new product readiness, post-launch stabilization, ongoing change, and day-to-day operational issue follow-up. The role requires strong organization, follow-through, stakeholder management, and the ability to operate in a fast-moving environment where responsibilities and capabilities are still being defined.
