Senior Product Manager - Universal KYC (MetaMask Passport)

Please note that we are unable to consider applications from candidates based in France, Italy, or Germany for this role. Money is moving onto the internet, and the shift has a name: Open Money. This is money that is open, portable, agentic, and owned by you. MetaMask spent the last ten years building it; with 100M+ downloads, users in ~190 countries, and trillions in cumulative transaction volume, it's the most trusted self-custodial financial platform on the internet. Now we're building the operating system for your money: one place to hold, move, grow, and use anything you own. Join a remote-first, global team rebuilding how money works: a problem that touches everyone, every day. About MetaMask MetaMask is building a future where users can unlock the full product stack through a single, seamless identity experience, enabling access to all features with trust, safety, and minimal friction. Today, identity verification is fragmented across several product and onboarding experiences. Users are repeatedly asked to verify themselves across different services, creating unnecessary friction, inconsistent outcomes, and degraded trust. Universal KYC (UKYC) is a new initiative to solve this problem by creating a single, reusable identity layer across MetaMask.

At the centre of this is MetaMask Passport , a product designed to enable users to verify once and unlock multiple experiences across the MetaMask ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of platform and product experience . You will define the primitives, standards, and user journeys that make identity verification seamless, privacy-conscious, and globally compliant. What you’ll do You will own the vision and roadmap for Universal KYC and MetaMask Passport, defining how a reusable identity layer unlocks the broader MetaMask product stack. You will build the underlying identity platform, creating scalable verification primitives and standards that can be adopted across products. In parallel, you will design a seamless, low-friction KYC experience that reduces time-to-first-transaction while maintaining compliance integrity. You will drive adoption across MetaMask by partnering closely with internal teams to integrate a consistent identity layer, while balancing privacy, trust, and global regulatory requirements. Throughout, you will lead execution end-to-end, aligning cross-functional teams and delivering measurable outcomes.
