About Polygon Labs

Polygon Labs is a global blockchain payments company building and operating infrastructure to move money instantly, reliably, and at internet scale, with the mission to move all money onchain. It is building the Polygon Open Money Stack, an open and integrated stack of services and technologies to instantly and reliably move money anywhere, and put it to work. Its infrastructure has facilitated trillions of dollars in onchain value transfer and supported millions of transactions daily for some of the globe's largest banks, fintechs, enterprises, and consumer applications.

The Role

As Director of Product, Wallets & Treasury, you will champion how businesses and consumers store and manage money across Polygon’s Open Money Stack—and what that money can do while it is there.

  • You will own the product strategy spanning enterprise wallets, custody, treasury infrastructure, access to onchain financial products from money at rest.

  • For our enterprise customers, that means solving the hard operational problems behind holding money onchain: secure wallet infrastructure, permissions and policies, custody models, treasury operations, compliance, liquidity, reconciliation, and integration with existing financial systems.

  • It also means making onchain money radically easier to hold, control, move, and put to work for everyone who uses the OMS.

  • Your goal is to make Polygon the best place for global money to live—and the easiest place to decide what happens to that money next.

Where you'll have impact

  • Enterprise wallet strategy. Define the product strategy for how businesses hold and control stablecoins and other digital assets across custodial and non-custodial environments.

  • Onchain treasury. Build the products and infrastructure that help businesses manage balances, liquidity, permissions, policies, counterparties, and treasury operations onchain.

  • Programmable money. Make it easy for businesses to establish rules around how money can be accessed, authorized, transferred, automated, and deployed through APIs and programmable infrastructure.

  • Productive capital. Create pathways for businesses and users to put idle capital to work through appropriate onchain yield, liquidity, and DeFi opportunities.

  • Wallet-to-payment experiences. Connect money at rest to money in motion. Work across the Open Money Stack so that stored balances can move seamlessly into payments, payouts, transfers, and other financial workflows.

  • Custody and control models. Develop a strong product point of view across custodial, non-custodial, embedded, and hybrid wallet architectures—and make those choices understandable and useful to customers.

  • Enterprise customers. Work directly with fintechs, payment companies, financial institutions, marketplaces, and global businesses to understand how they hold and manage money today and where existing infrastructure falls short.

  • Ecosystem strategy. Work with wallets, custodians, stablecoin issuers, DeFi protocols, liquidity providers, and other partners to create an integrated product rather than a collection of disconnected infrastructure.

  • Execution and adoption. Take products from thesis through launch and scaled adoption. Define success metrics, make product and technical tradeoffs, and work deeply with engineering, design, go-to-market, and ecosystem teams.

Who you are

You are a senior product leader who has built products where wallet infrastructure, payments, and enterprise financial operations intersect.

You understand what happens after an enterprise decides to use stablecoins—not just how a transaction gets from A to B, but where the money lives, who controls it, how access is governed, how it is reconciled, and how it can be deployed efficiently.

You likely bring:

  • Significant product leadership experience across enterprise wallets, custody, payments, treasury, fintech, or crypto infrastructure.

  • Experience building enterprise-grade wallet or digital asset infrastructure at a company such as Fireblocks, Coinbase, Circle, Anchorage, Stripe, Block, or a similarly sophisticated financial infrastructure company.

  • Deep understanding of enterprise wallet architecture, including custody, key management, signing, permissions, policy engines, transaction workflows, and security.

  • Experience with both custodial and non-custodial wallets and a strong perspective on when different architectures make sense.

  • A track record of successfully shipping payments, money movement, treasury, or financial infrastructure products at meaningful scale.

  • Strong knowledge of stablecoins and decentralized finance, including how onchain liquidity and yield products can make stored capital more useful.

  • Firsthand understanding of the operational needs of businesses managing money: security, controls, compliance, reconciliation, liquidity, reliability, and integration with existing systems.

  • An understanding of consumer wallet experiences and the ability to distinguish between the needs of businesses, developers, and end users.

  • Enough technical depth to work closely with blockchain and infrastructure engineers on complex systems without losing sight of the customer problem.

  • Strong product judgment in environments where mistakes involve real money, security, and trust.

  • The ability to turn a broad strategic vision into a focused roadmap—and then ship it.

Apex Group CEO makes the case for tokenization as the key to unlocking private credit

Apex Group, a global fund administrator overseeing $3.5 trillion in assets, is aggressively expanding its tokenization infrastructure to democratize access to private-market deals for family offices and wealth managers. CEO Peter Hughes emphasizes that blockchain technology is the key to solving long-standing distribution inefficiencies in private credit and equity markets. The firm’s strategy includes the May 2025 acquisition of a majority stake in Tokeny, granting control over the Polygon-based T-REX Ledger for compliance-focused issuance. Following the July 2025 launch of its Apex Digital 3.0 platform, the company is managing the full lifecycle of tokenized assets including issuance, custody, and distribution. Apex has set a concrete target to reach $100 billion in tokenized assets under administration by June 2027. Furthermore, the firm is preparing for a strategic partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group scheduled for February 2026 to scale private fund tokenization. These efforts are supported by data from a May 2026 survey, which revealed that 50% of asset managers have already adopted tokenization strategies, with private credit being a primary focus. By leveraging its 36 regulatory licenses, Apex is transitioning from pilot programs to live institutional products, such as tokenized real estate on Goldman Sachs’ GS DAP platform.

Franklin Plans to Push Tokenized Assets Into Traditional Funds

Franklin Templeton is expanding its digital asset strategy by integrating tokenized assets directly into its traditional mutual funds. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between blockchain-based financial instruments and conventional investment vehicles, allowing for greater operational efficiency and liquidity. By leveraging its existing OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund, which operates on the Stellar and Polygon blockchains, the firm seeks to streamline settlement processes and reduce administrative overhead. This move represents a significant shift in institutional asset management, as traditional funds begin to incorporate tokenized holdings as core components of their portfolios. The integration is expected to enhance transparency and accessibility for investors while maintaining compliance with established regulatory frameworks. As Franklin Templeton continues to scale its digital infrastructure, the broader financial industry is closely watching the impact on fund management workflows. This development underscores the growing institutional confidence in blockchain technology as a viable backend for mainstream financial products.

Bank of England tests stablecoin, digital pound interoperability in cross

The Bank of England’s Digital Pound Lab is conducting experiments to test the interoperability of stablecoins and a potential digital pound within cross-border trade finance. Collaborating with NOBO Finance, Dun & Bradstreet, and Polygon Labs, the project simulates a payment flow where exporters receive stablecoin advances while importers settle using digital pound simulations. This initiative aims to alleviate working capital constraints for small- and medium-sized businesses by reducing settlement delays inherent in traditional trade finance. Beyond payment rails, the project utilizes Polygon’s smart contract infrastructure to integrate commercial risk data into reusable credit profiles. These tests occur as the Bank of England develops a regulatory framework for systemic sterling-denominated stablecoins, including proposed reserve requirements and issuance caps. While the central bank has not committed to issuing a digital pound, these experiments reflect a broader strategic effort to modernize UK financial infrastructure. The work aligns with the Bank's ongoing transition toward 24/7 settlement systems and the integration of tokenized assets into the national financial ecosystem.
