Product Manager - dubai - Ctrl Alt

Description

Ctrl Alt is designing and operating the on-chain infrastructure powering digital capital markets globally. We bring together a unique blend of expertise in financial markets and cutting-edge in-house technology to deliver tailored, compliant solutions in the alternative assets space. Since launching in 2022, we've tokenized over $850m in assets across real estate, private credit, funds, litigation finance and more.

We're building a high-performance, people-first culture where ambitious individuals can thrive. We move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high bar, while keeping things collaborative, open and genuinely fun. At Ctrl Alt ideas win on merit, teams work closely with leadership, and everyone has a voice in shaping what we build next.

We believe that hard work should come with real reward. You won't just join a company - you'll help build one. Last year alone, we grew from 17 to 50 people, and this year we're going faster and further. That means real responsibility, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that's redefining the future of finance through the tokenization of alternative assets.

If you're excited by scale-up energy, ownership, and the chance to help shape both a business and a culture, Ctrl Alt is where you can do the most rewarding work of your career.

We are seeking a driven, high ownership Product Manager to join the Product Team at a moment of hyper growth. This is not a backlog maintenance role, you will be joining a business that is actively building new products, launching new structures, and scaling digital market infrastructure in real time.

The role is suited to someone who wants responsibility and is motivated by building products properly, not just shipping tickets. While strong product capability is essential, the single most important attribute we are looking for is drive. The willingness to take ownership, make decisions, and be accountable for outcomes.

• Own product execution end-to-end: Take clear ownership of product initiatives from problem definition through delivery, launch, and iteration, ensuring outcomes align with business and client needs.
• Translate business needs into high quality products: Convert commercial, operational, and regulatory requirements into clear product specifications (flows, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria) that engineering teams can execute with confidence.
• Build and evolve core platform capabilities: Develop and enhance Ctrl Alt's existing platform and supporting infrastructure to serve multiple asset classes, clients, and jurisdictions.
• Drive delivery in a fast-moving environment: Proactively identify dependencies, risks, and trade-offs, working closely with Engineering and cross-functional stakeholders to keep momentum and quality high.
• Engage deeply with technical architecture: Participate in technical discussions around architecture, integrations, APIs, and implementation choices, balancing long-term platform health with near-term delivery.
• Support client and partner integrations: Work alongside delivery and operations teams to facilitate complex client and third-party integrations, ensuring product readiness and scalability.

• 2+ years' experience as a product manager within a high-growth technology or financial services environment.
• Experience shipping user-facing products, platforms, or APIs built on complex technical systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down ambiguous problems and define clear, actionable solutions.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive initiatives forward without needing constant direction.
• A genuine interest in fintech, digital assets, or emerging financial market infrastructure.

• Exposure to tokenisation, capital markets, alternative assets, or regulated financial services.
• Experience working with APIs, third-party integrations, or platform-based products.
• Familiarity with operating in regulated or compliance-heavy environments.

• High levels of drive, ownership, and accountability.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information.
• A desire to build and improve products and systems, not just manage backlogs.
• Motivation to be part of an ambitious business where pace is high and expectations are real.

We expect this role to attract experienced product managers, but we are equally open to exceptional, less-experienced candidates who demonstrate the right mindset, curiosity, and capability.

Join a scaling fintech building the next generation of investment banking. You'll work at the intersection of capital markets and cutting-edge blockchain technology, helping drive and shape the future of financial infrastructure.
