📋 Description

• Co-design financial products and value propositions together with the Product Lead, ensuring products are competitive, investable, and structurally sound. • Translate partner capabilities and protocol mechanics into products that distribution partners want to offer and institutional investors want to buy. • Contribute from the earliest stage of discovery and help shape product direction from both a market and risk perspective. • Assess any financial, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk across on-chain and off-chain components. • Stress test yield strategies and evaluate vulnerabilities such as bundled leverage, incentive heavy emissions, and denominator mismatches. • Model downside scenarios and assess what happens under stress, including protocol exploits, liquidity crises, and partner failures. • Help define where vault capital should be deployed across protocols and partners. • Set allocation parameters, monitor performance against expectations, and flag when outcomes drift from the intended assumptions. • Evaluate product structures through a financial and strategic lens, not only through performance. • Assess protocols and partners through a financial risk lens as part of the broader partner quality framework. • Evaluate not just whether something looks attractive as an investment, but whether a durable product can be built on top of it. • Build risk assessment frameworks, financial models, evaluation criteria, and monitoring dashboards from scratch. • Create a structure where there is none and help define how this new function should operate. • Support the development of decision frameworks that guide product and partner evaluation over time.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience in financial product design, risk strategy, or structured finance within fintech, crypto, asset management, or protocol environments • DeFi-native experience with a strong understanding of protocol mechanics and how yield strategies, lending markets, and tokenised products are structured • Strong expertise in structured product risk, including counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and interest rate risk • Clear understanding of product risk vs portfolio risk, with hands-on experience stress-testing financial products • Strong hybrid on-chain and off-chain financial expertise, including smart contract risk, on-chain liquidity dynamics, protocol governance risk, and counterparty exposure across systems • Ability to assess how risks interact and compound across on-chain and off-chain components under stress • Strong commercial judgment on both market attractiveness and downside risk, with the ability to distinguish headline yield from durable product quality. • Experience building frameworks, financial models, or evaluation criteria from scratch • Strong analytical thinking and ability to communicate complex financial concepts clearly • Builder mindset with the ability to define structure and operate without predefined processes • AI experience, interest, or acumen is a big plus
