The Head of Product - Mobile will own the mobile product line, overseeing vision, strategy, team building, and go-to-market execution for financial services apps.
About Jito Labs
Jito builds the Market Layer of Solana, the infrastructure that powers real markets on-chain.
We started by building foundational network infrastructure: execution systems, capital markets, and incentive mechanisms that process billions in daily transaction value. Our products (Jito Block Engine, BAM, and JitoSOL) are market leaders and core to how Solana's economy operates.
Now we're moving up the stack. We're building the consumer product that help people access better financial services, backed by the same world-class team that built the infrastructure powering billions in daily transaction value.
The Opportunity
As Head of Product, you'll be the owner of this product line and report to the CEO. You'll refine the vision, build the team, and ship the experiences that brings users to Solana. This is a startup within a startup - you'll have the autonomy to move fast, the resources of a well-funded company behind you, and the opportunity to build something from absolute zero that could reshape how people interact with money.
You'll own everything: product strategy, go-to-market, and execution. If you've been waiting for the chance to run your own thing with the backing of proven infrastructure and world-class talent, this is it.
