Product Lead, Protocol Ecosystems

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

Anchorage Digital is a crypto platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets through custody, staking, trading, governance, settlement, and the industry's leading security infrastructure. Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.

The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital has offices in New York, New York;
Porto, Portugal;
Singapore; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Learn more at , on X @Anchorage, and on Linked In.

With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions
. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

Anchorage Digital's Protocols organization partners with leading blockchain ecosystems and their institutional investors to deliver institutional‑grade custody, staking, governance, and DeFi capabilities.

You will drive cross‑functional alignment at the senior level, and shape a roadmap that positions Anchorage as the default institutional partner for the most important networks in crypto.

This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of product vision, people leadership, and deep protocol fluency.
