Responsibilities
Define and own an outcome-driven incubation roadmap for Blockchain and tokenization experiments, including sequencing, dependencies, and success metrics
Partner with business and technology leaders to identify and shape tokenization and blockchain opportunities, hypotheses, and experiment charters
Prioritize a portfolio of rapid prototypes, proofs of concept, and pilots based on value, feasibility, risk, and learning objectives
Serve as a liaison between business leaders, engineering, architecture, security, and legal/compliance teams to translate needs into implementable experiment designs and prototypes
Lead discovery, requirements definition, and lightweight solution design in collaboration with engineering support and platform architects
Manage a lab backlog and execution cadence (planning, demos, iteration cycles, and experiment readouts) to drive rapid solutioning and measurable learning
Support build vs. partner evaluations by coordinating vendor “bake-offs,” ecosystem scans, and technical assessments relevant to tokenization and blockchain capabilities
Define experiment governance and controls appropriate for a lab environment, including data handling, access controls, auditability expectations, and risk reviews
Establish reference architectures, reusable components, and patterns (on-chain and off-chain) that can accelerate future experiments and inform downstream teams
Define, track, and communicate experiment KPIs, such as time-to-prototype, learning velocity, stakeholder readiness, feasibility, risk posture, and proof-of-value results
Monitor experiment outcomes and operational signals during pilots (stability, usability, integration constraints), and drive iteration or decisioning based on findings
Stay current on blockchain and tokenization trends (standards, privacy approaches, interoperability, custody/settlement models, regulatory developments) to inform the lab pipeline
Produce clear recommendations and transition plans for successful concepts, including handoff artifacts (requirements, architecture, risk considerations, ROI, and operational needs) for product and engineering teams that may scale them
Provide thought leadership and mentorship across the Lab and partner teams to strengthen in-house blockchain knowledge and delivery confidence

Strong executive presence and ability to influence senior stakeholders across business, technology, and risk functions
Solid understanding of systems architecture and cloud-native environments; ability to shape solution approaches spanning on-chain and off-chain components

Strong communication skills with the ability to translate blockchain concepts into business-relevant insights, experiment plans, and decision-ready readouts
Strategic thinker who balances rapid learning and delivery with longer-term commercialization pathways and practical handoffs
