Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Sei Labs builds open sourced technology for the high-performance Sei Blockchain, and they are seeking a Senior Program Manager to lead the DCM initiative for their new US-regulated derivatives venue. This role involves owning the master plan, coordinating exchange build and rollout, and managing various workstreams to ensure timely regulatory submissions and operational success.
Responsibilities
- Own the master timeline, milestone cadence, and cross-project dependencies for 9+ workstreams pointed at DCM submission
- Drive partner-commercial tracking across DCO, Anchorage, FCMs, SMARTS, KYC vendors, Connamara, and others — integration timelines, contracts, and SLAs
- Run daily, weekly, and monthly project planning, check-ins, and risk surfacing across internal teams and external counterparties
- Deliver exec-level status reporting and board updates — clean, honest signal, no green-washing
- Hire and manage a bench of TPM/PMs as the program expands into more topic areas
- Post-license, coordinate exchange build and go-live across partners, compliance, legal, and business; grow into ownership of exchange operations
- Be the person who removes blockers, gets alignment, and keeps the program pointed at the goal
Skills
- 10+ YoE in program management (5+ if you're deep in US licensing product work)
- 2–3+ years at a US-licensed crypto trading platform, ideally in a ProgM role that led the initial licensing effort (DCM, ATS, broker-dealer, MSB, or equivalent)
- Fluent working with FCMs, DCOs, custodians, surveillance vendors, and KYC providers
- Strong track record delivering complex, multi-vendor projects with hard regulatory deadlines
- Excellent written communicator — you turn messy execution into crisp updates leadership can act on
- Comfortable holding senior internal leaders and external partners to their commitments
- Bonus: chief-of-staff or founder-adjacent experience at an early-to-mid stage company; fintech ProgM background overlapping with SEC/compliance work (Robinhood, Stripe crypto, dYdX, Hyperliquid-type orgs, Coinbase, Kraken, Binance.US, etc.)
