Lead Product Manager, Platform Experience

Ripple Ripple · Fintech · San Francisco, CA +1 · Product & Delivery

The Lead Product Manager, Platform Experience at Ripple will define the foundational layer for Ripple Treasury's platform, focusing on identity engineering, data model architecture, and platform UX. This role operates at the intersection of these areas to solve foundational problems once, enabling faster development for solution pods. Key responsibilities include defining the canonical data model, leading the identity and authorization engine, unifying cross-product user experience, establishing navigation architecture, and setting platform experience standards.

What you'd actually do

  1. Canonical Data Model — Define and maintain the primary data model for Ripple Treasury: counterparties, instruments, accounts, users. This central source of truth serves as the basis for every solution pod’s reference.
  2. Identity, Authentication and RBAC — Lead the platform-wide identity and authorizing engine: user authentication, role-based access control, licensing enforcement, and enterprise client configuration.
  3. Cross-Product User Unification — Own the highest-priority platform initiative of 2026: a single identity layer spanning multiple products. Define the architecture, drive the roadmap, and deliver the integration achievement.
  4. Navigation Architecture and Home Experience — Define the product experience frame. This includes the L1, L2, and L3 navigation structure and the Home Portal that make Ripple Treasury feel like one platform.
  5. Platform Experience Standards — Establish and maintain the standards all pods build to: API contracts, schema governance, authentication patterns, and platform integration protocols.
