Product Owner - Tax product

At Deblock, we are building the first bank onchain: simple, non-custodial, and human. We are looking for our Mid Product Owner for our next Tax Product. The person who will shape and deliver a best-in-class crypto tax experience for our users. This isn’t a role for someone who just writes user stories; it’s for a legally sharp, product-minded builder. You will report directly to the Founders and Head of Product, acting as the bridge between complex French and European tax regulation and a product that makes compliance feel effortless. You will own the Tax Product from discovery to delivery. 👀 What we are looking for The "Legal-Meets-Product" Profile: You are a qualified French corporate or tax lawyer (Master 2 / CAPA or equivalent) with c. 3–5 years of experience. You may have started in a top-tier law firm or Big 4 tax practice, then moved closer to product and tech. Product Instincts: You have hands-on experience contributing to or owning a product – writing specs, prioritising backlogs, running sprints, or shipping features. You understand what it means to build, not just advise. French & EU Tax Fluency: You have deep knowledge of French tax obligations related to digital assets (flat tax, IFI, plus-values, déclarations fiscales) and a solid grasp of the evolving EU regulatory landscape (DAC8, MiCA implications). Analytical Rigour: You don't just "have ideas" – you build decision trees, write clear PRDs, and back your recommendations with data and legal reasoning. Bilingual Communication: You are fluent in French (native-level) and professional in English. You can translate dense tax regulation into plain language a user can understand. 🤩 What will make you stand out Crypto-Native Knowledge: You have already worked on crypto-tax topics – whether at a legaltech, a Web3 company, or advising crypto clients in practice. You can explain the tax treatment of staking rewards at dinner without losing the table. Product Delivery Track Record: You've shipped a feature or product end-to-end in a startup or scale-up environment, ideally in fintech or legaltech. Regulatory Network: You have contacts within the French tax administration (DGFiP), AMF, or relevant professional bodies that could accelerate our compliance journey. 🧑‍💻 What you’ll be working on Tax Product Roadmap: Own the end-to-end product roadmap for Deblock's Tax Product – from transaction categorisation and capital-gains calculation to the generation of tax-ready reports (Cerfa 2086, etc.). Regulatory Translation: Monitor French and EU tax developments and translate them into clear product requirements and acceptance criteria that the engineering team can build against. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work daily with Engineering, Design, Legal, and Compliance to prioritise, spec, and deliver features on time. You're the connective tissue between "what the law says" and "what the user sees." User Research & Testing: Talk to users, run beta tests, and iterate. Ensure the tax experience is not only legally accurate but genuinely intuitive. Strategic Partnerships: Identify and evaluate partnerships with tax-filing platforms, accounting software providers, or institutional tax advisors to extend the product's reach and credibility. 🤑 What you’ll get Competitive salary + stock options Private dental + health insurance The best tech for your job 30 days of paid holidays (excl. bank holidays) Option to work 100% remotely or come to the office - your choice! Ability to work abroad for 4 months a year
