THE WORK:
We seek a Senior Staff Product Manager to lead and develop our Trust Platform — the programmable controls, integrations, and tools that enable our products to function securely and reliably as we grow into more regulated, higher-risk markets such as banks and other regulated entities.
You'll determine what features should be included in the platform and which ones become reusable components other teams can build upon. You will assess how the roadmap stands up to careful examination from regulators, bank diligence teams, and the product teams working on what you develop. You will work closely with Compliance, Legal, and Engineering, maintaining clear responsibility for the product roadmap and decisions.
Why Now?
- The regulatory landscape is growing. More jurisdictions, more counterparties, more edge cases — this needs someone thinking ahead of requirements, crafting our posture before it's forced on us.
- Trust is a competitive advantage. Our strategy increasingly points at selling into banks and other regulated counterparties, who diligence maturity, auditability, and programmable controls as part of the buying decision. This work helps us secure agreements.
- The platform opportunity is genuine and ready to develop. We have reached a stage where this logic should become a configurable core element for other teams to build upon. It involves deciding what is configurable, what forms an API, and the sequencing order. This is a true product invention challenge that requires focused attention.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Own the roadmap for some of our highest-stakes regulatory surfaces. Get ahead of new jurisdictions and requirements. Build something durable enough to hold up to bank-grade diligence.
- Define the scope and develop the Trust Platform by deciding which components should be reusable. Identify the initial use case(s). Manage the balance between flexibility and control as other teams build upon it.
- Build tooling for information-request and review workflows that scales across product lines, rather than requiring headcount growth to keep pace with volume.
- Collaborate across departments with Compliance, Legal, and Engineering to translate regulatory and risk requirements into product decisions.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- 5-7 years of experience in fintech, crypto, or another regulated technology space. Significant tenure as a Product Manager, including work at a Staff or Senior Staff level.
- A history of developing and expanding platform products — reusable primitives and APIs that other teams rely on.
- Experience in compliance, risk, trust and safety, or another high-stakes regulatory domain, with the technical depth to reason about system build and tradeoffs.
- Ability to operate independently across a wide collaborator matrix — Compliance, Legal, Engineering, and other product teams — while retaining clear product ownership.
- Comfort prioritizing and building something new in a high-ambiguity environment.
If you want to define what a trust and risk platform looks like at scale, we'd love to talk.

About this role
Ripple is building a Trust Platform that will serve as the regulatory and compliance backbone for their expansion into banks and other highly regulated financial institutions. As Senior Staff Product Manager for this initiative, you'd own a genuinely novel product challenge: determining which compliance, risk, and control features should become reusable components that other product teams build upon, while ensuring everything withstands rigorous bank-grade diligence and evolving global regulatory requirements. This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, regulatory foresight, and technical architecture—you're not just responding to compliance needs, but architecting them into the platform before regulators force the issue.
The work demands someone with 5–7 years in fintech or regulated tech who has already built platform products at a Staff or Senior Staff level. You'll need genuine experience translating compliance, risk, or trust and safety requirements into product decisions, plus the technical depth to reason through system tradeoffs with Engineering. The role requires operating independently across a complex matrix—Compliance, Legal, Engineering, product teams—while retaining clear ownership of the roadmap and the ability to move decisively in high-ambiguity conditions.
This is a full-time, in-office position in San Francisco with a base salary of $216,000–$270,000, plus equity and benefits. It's suited for someone who wants to define what enterprise-grade trust infrastructure looks like at scale, rather than execute someone else's vision.
