VP of Product

Full-time

DCM Corp Limited builds interbank infrastructure for tokenized deposits in emerging markets. Our entry point is the payment itself: ISO 20022-native messaging with tokenized settlement, running alongside banks existing core systems rather than replacing them. Our technology already runs a national interbank payment network in production. DCM is the exclusive implementation provider of tokenized deposit solutions for the ADI Foundation, the Abu Dhabi-based foundation backed by IHC, bringing these solutions to banks across MENA and sub-Saharan Africa.

You will own the product: strategy, roadmap, and the way we implement it with banks. You will build and lead the product function, working closely with the leadership team.

• Own the roadmap for our two products: Side-core, a layer that runs alongside a bank's core, and PMP (Payment Messaging Processing), an ISO 20022-native messaging and settlement platform
• Watch the market and shape where the product goes next: regulation, competing platforms, bank demand, and initiatives like CBDC and interbank ledger projects
• Develop the product line beyond current deployments (new capabilities, new deployment models, new markets) with a clear case for each
• Decide what is standard product and what is customization, and hold that line with clients
• Define our standard implementation approach with banks, from first workshop to pilot to production
• Turn what we learn at each client into product, with one prioritized backlog across all projects
• Work with engineering and partners to deliver, and take responsibility for acceptance

• Tokenized money shipped to production (tokenized deposits, stablecoins or DLT-based settlement) in a regulated setting
• A product delivered to banks or payment operators as clients: workshops, scoping, pilot, production, security reviews
• Strong command of payments infrastructure and ISO 20022
• A record of growing a product line: finding what the market needs next and shipping it, not only running an existing roadmap
• 12+ years of experience, at least 5 leading products for B2B infrastructure
• Experience owning a product when engineering sits in another organization
• Comfortable acting as solution architect on early client projects
• Fluent English; based in the UAE or willing to travel

• MENA or African market experience, Arabic
• Familiarity with interbank ledger initiatives (Swift, regional networks) and EVM chains
• Product experience under SOC 2 or ISO 27001/27017/27018
• Public speaking or published work on tokenization

• Real ownership of the product of a company bringing tokenized deposits to banks in new markets
• A competitive package for a senior hire
• A seat in decisions about what we build and who we build it for.
