Head of Product Marketing

About Kamino

Kamino's mission is to create liquidity and utility for every asset. We want the world's best investments to be available through the financial platforms people already trust, and we want investors to be able to borrow against what they own when they need liquidity, instead of having to sell.

Today, the most valuable assets in the world are often the least useful to own. Trillions of dollars sit in private markets, behind high minimums and holding periods that can run for years. Tokenization is starting to move these assets onto shared, programmable infrastructure, but putting an asset onchain is only the first step. To be useful, it still needs distribution, compliance, servicing, credit and liquidity.

Kamino already runs the credit and liquidity engine at scale. It is the largest credit protocol on Solana and the largest credit platform for real-world assets onchain, with more than $650 billion in cumulative transaction volume and more than $20 billion in loans originated.

Now we are building the rest of that system for institutions. Kamino recently named Yieldstreet co-founder Michael Weisz as CEO and is building a new HQ in New York, alongside the asset managers and financial platforms that will shape this market. Almost none of that market exists yet, and we intend to build it.

Build Product Marketing. Own positioning, go-to-market, and growth.

The role

Kamino is hiring a Head of Product Marketing to own how our products are positioned, brought to market and adopted. Your remit spans direct financial products, institutional infrastructure and experiences distributed through partners, with institutional and partner-distributed products the immediate priority.

You will build and lead the function: setting strategy, managing its budget and hiring the team while personally leading the most important research, writing and launches. You will define why customers and partners choose Kamino, equip commercial teams to take that proposition to market, and work with Product and Design to turn interest into active, retained use.

Key responsibilities

• Build and lead Product Marketing. Own the function’s strategy, budget and team while personally leading its most important research, writing and go-to-market work.

• Define how Kamino wins. Turn customer, partner and competitive insight into clear positioning, differentiated propositions and a coherent story across the product portfolio.

• Lead product go-to-market. Own launches across direct, institutional and partner-distributed products, from audience and commercial objectives through rollout and adoption.

• Grow direct product use. Work with Product and Design to improve product discovery and customer journeys. Own the messaging and lifecycle programs that support activation, repeat use and retention.

• Equip partners and commercial teams. Turn Kamino’s infrastructure into propositions partners can distribute, supported by the materials, education and enablement needed to complete diligence, launch and grow.

• Prove commercial impact. Establish how Product Marketing measures qualified demand, adoption, retention and partner readiness, and use the results to improve the work.

What you bring

• 8+ years in Product Marketing, including direct ownership of complex financial, infrastructure or digital-asset products.

• Experience building or scaling a Product Marketing function in a lean company, hiring and managing a team while personally leading important work.

• Deep institutional-finance fluency and direct experience with digital assets or onchain markets. You can explain how Kamino’s markets work, where risk sits and what institutional buyers need to evaluate.

• Experience marketing D2C financial products to U.S. customers alongside institutional or partner-distributed products.

• A record of defining differentiated positioning across a connected portfolio and leading go-to-market from market understanding through launch, adoption and post-launch growth.

• Direct ownership of D2C customer-journey improvements and onboarding and lifecycle programs across email and in-product messaging, with measurable gains in activation or retention.

• Exceptional hands-on writing and experience producing sales or partner enablement that improved customer understanding, partner readiness or commercial progress. You can show work you produced personally.

• Strong quantitative and independent judgment, including building useful measurement from incomplete data, and daily fluency with AI tools that improve the speed and quality of your work.

STRONGLY PREFERRED

• Experience with institutional financial firms or the platforms that distribute their products.

• Experience marketing financial or developer infrastructure to business and technical buyers.

• Experience with embedded financial products or another partner-distributed business model.
