The Impact you will have in this role:

As the Product Manager Associate Director for Digital Assets, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering DTCC’s client-facing digital asset offerings, with particular focus on tokenized collateral and adjacent market structure use cases. You will operate at the intersection of client needs, product strategy, and execution by partnering with market participants, strategic partners, engineering, operations, legal, risk, and compliance to identify external pain points, define clear business requirements, and lead one or more workstreams from discovery through delivery. In this role, you will help drive DTCC Digital Assets’ ability to bring secure, compliant, market-ready capabilities to life across initiatives such as ComposerX and the Collateral AppChain, improving collateral mobility, enabling more efficient intraday activity, and accelerating institutional adoption of tokenized assets in a regulated environment. 

 

Your Primary Responsibilities:

Requirements Gathering & Analysis

• Partner with institutional clients, market participants, domain experts, product leaders, and technical teams to elicit, analyze, and document requirements for tokenized asset products and workflows, especially across collateral, repo, securities finance, and post-trade use cases
• Conduct client meetings, working groups, workshops, and process analysis to understand current-state operating models, pain points, adoption barriers, and opportunities for asset mobilization, intraday efficiency, and stronger commercial outcomes

Requirement Documentation & Backlog Quality

• Produce clear requirement artifacts such as business requirements, user stories, process flows, capability definitions, and operating model documentation that are unambiguous and implementation-ready

Stakeholder Management & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Serve as a liaison across clients, product, engineering, architecture, operations, legal, compliance, risk, and other partners, facilitating discussions and building alignment on scope, priorities, dependencies, and tradeoffs
• Communicate status, risks, external feedback, and required decisions clearly, helping teams bring the right people into the room, resolve issues quickly, and maintain momentum across multiple parallel workstreams

Agile Delivery (Scrum)

• Work within an Agile development framework and actively support planning, refinement, reviews, retrospectives, standups, and other delivery rituals as needed
• Help ensure delivery remains aligned to business and client outcomes by supporting prioritization, maintaining high-quality requirements entering the sprint, and partnering closely with product and engineering on sequencing and execution

Solution Design Support & Validation

• Collaborate with product, engineering, and architecture partners to translate business requirements into functional solutions, with attention to tokenized asset workflows, client onboarding, operating model design, and compliance and control considerations where applicable
• Support validation and acceptance activities by defining scenarios, re
