Job Description

The role

Purpose Unlimited is looking for a Senior Product Manager to bring dedicated, full-time leadership to the Digital Assets Squad — owning the roadmap, the figures of merit, and the ship date for a category Purpose is betting its next decade on.

The Human-AI Partnership

AI handles the operating cadence — surfacing roadmap risk, tracking figures of merit, drafting first-pass user stories and briefs. You handle the judgment — the prioritization call, the trust built with SMEs and cross-functional partners, and the decisions decentralized away from SLT.

What You'll Do

• Own the squad's roadmap end-to-end, from digital asset funds through crypto native products
• Define and move the squad's figures of merit, agreed directly with the SLT sponsor
• Run the operating cadence — keeping risk and dependencies visible in Linear
• Decentralize day-to-day decisions away from SLT, reserving their time for genuine strategy

What You Must Bring

• 7+ years of product management experience owning a roadmap end-to-end in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
• Strong operating discipline — measurable outcomes, tight execution cycles, visible work in tools like Linear
• Excellent cross-functional coordination skills without formal authority
• A bias to decide and act, with the judgment to know what genuinely needs to go up to leadership

Why Purpose

This is a newly created role with the mandate to build the operating model for one of Purpose's highest-ambition bets — not execute inside an existing one. You'll work inside the squad, not above it, with real authority to decentralize decisions and real accountability for the numbers.’

Newly created, high-mandate PM roles at this level of ownership don't come up often — especially ones building the operating model for a category Purpose is betting its next decade on. If you're strong on the operating discipline but still building your crypto fluency, that's exactly what this role expects you to do fast — apply anyway.

Tell us about a time you took on a blocker personally instead of escalating it — what did you do, and what changed because you didn't wait?

If that's a story you're proud of, we want to hear it.

Every role at Purpose is assessed against our five values:

• Innovation – You bring new ideas, challenge the status quo, and find better ways of building. You don’t wait for permission to experiment.
• Courage – You speak up when something isn’t working, take difficult stands on technical quality, and act with conviction even when it’s uncomfortable.
• Owner’s Mindset – You take full accountability for your squad’s outcomes. You treat the platform, the team, and the business as your own.
• Client Focus – You place client outcomes at the center of every architectural and delivery decision.
• Winning Through Individual and Collective Growth – You invest in your own development and actively contribute to the growth of every engineer around you.

Why should you join us?

• We are one of Canada's Top Small & Medium Employers' 2023, 2024, 2025 & 2026.
