About the role
This role involves leading the product vision and roadmap for Universal KYC and MetaMask Passport, focusing on creating a reusable identity layer that integrates across the broader MetaMask product suite. The core responsibility is to build an underlying identity platform with scalable verification primitives and standards, ensuring they can be adopted by various products within Consensys's ecosystem. Success in this area means defining how identity verification can unlock new functionalities and improve existing ones for MetaMask users.
A key aspect of the position is designing and implementing a smooth, efficient KYC experience that reduces the time it takes for users to complete their first transaction, without compromising compliance integrity. This requires close collaboration with internal teams to integrate a consistent identity layer across MetaMask products, carefully balancing user privacy, trust, and global regulatory requirements. The goal is to drive adoption of this new identity layer by making it intuitive and beneficial for users.
The Senior Product Manager will lead the entire execution process, from strategy to delivery, ensuring alignment among cross-functional teams. Success will be measured by tangible improvements such as higher KYC completion rates, reduced onboarding friction, and increased reuse of verified identities across different products. Ultimately, the role aims to enhance user trust and transaction success rates through consistent and compliant verification outcomes.
The salary for this full-time remote role ranges from $130,000 to $187,000 USD annually.
