Washington, United States Confusion Capital Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

About Digital Securities Initiative:

The Digital Securities Initiative is an industry-wide collaborative effort with no incorporated entity or member dues required to participate. Contributing organizations sponsor their own team members to spend time on the initiative when it is in their interest.

It was started and is led by Nevin Freeman, who is part of the Reserve project, which has a vision that depends on securities being available within DeFi, but is not itself involved in security tokenization and has no financial interest in any security tokenization company.

To learn more about the initiative and who is involved, read our introduction.

Role summary:

We're currently recruiting for one full-time position, funded by Confusion Capital and 100% focused on DSI.

This person will work very closely together with the DSI's Senior Legal Fellow and together they will be the main operational drivers of DSI in its first year or so.

Product Manager, Policy & Research

As a Product Manager in Policy & Research, you will sit at the intersection of crypto, policy, and research. You will generate an enormous number of ideas for how to address the risks and challenges with tokenizing securities and empowering their use throughout DeFi. This means you'll be tasked with figuring out how to protect users and market integrity in DeFi overall because security tokens are just a special case of... all tokens in DeFi.

You will be responsible for defining and driving the strategy for our policy and research-related products, paving the way for the adoption of pro-crypto rules by U.S. regulators. You'll work side by side with the Senior Legal Fellow to develop frameworks and craft whitepapers which can be quickly understood and implemented by regulators.

We see this as a product role because you'll be tasked with figuring out both technical and policy solutions. For instance: users in DeFi are getting frontrun. Do we solve that with a technical solution to eliminate MEV, a policy solution that makes it illegal, or nothing at all, leaving users to protect themselves? This question of "solve with technology or policy" is present in our entire research agenda, so you'll need to combine imagining what's possible technically with evaluating implications of policy directions.

We're looking for someone who can:

1. Think from first principles about research topics and pose thoughtful research questions

2. Organize and synthesize research for distribution and consumption

3. Manage multiple work streams and research projects concurrently

4. Eventually engage with regulators to help them reform rules and recognize the value of tokenization

Key Responsibilities:

- Develop and own the product roadmap for research and policy-related products

- Work closely with stakeholders to determine feasible solutions to nuanced challenges impeding the tokenization of securities

- Conduct thorough technical and industry-trend research to pair with and inform the team's legal research

- Engage with engineers, policymakers, regulators, and industry groups to identify and address research areas

- Translate research findings and policy insights into actionable frameworks and policy proposals to advance the tokenization of securities

If this project works, your work over the next couple of years will literally lay the groundwork for the future world financial system.
