Senior Product Manager @ Turing

Turing is a venture-backed company in the blockchain space. We previously led research at some of the top digital currency publications in the world and have worked with several companies building blockchain-based protocols in areas as diverse as gaming, finance and geolocation.

We’re developing a protocol of our own and looking for a senior product manager who has an insatiable curiosity towards blockchain technology. The protocol will allow musicians and influencers to issue their own blockchain-based currencies. We plan to launch later this year with a small set of artists.  

While we don’t require you to have direct experience in the blockchain space or the music industry, we’re looking for someone who can pick up the core concepts quickly and think through hundreds of possible features to find which ones are essential for the product to be successful.

As our first product hire, you’ll be conceiving and driving ideas of your own. You are the voice of the customer in product conversations and architecting the vision for the product strategy.

We’d like you to send over early product specifications that you’ve written, or any whitepapers or strategic documents you’ve developed from past projects if possible. This role requires someone who is customer-centric, extremely organized, data-driven and thrives on solving hard problems.
