The world’s largest American retailer Walmart has opened a vacancy for a product leader linked to cryptocurrencies. This is stated on the company’s site.
The new role entails creating and managing the development strategy in the area of digital assets. The successful candidate will be “identifying cryptocurrency-related opportunities for investment and collaboration”.
“As an expert […], you will define the product direction and roadmap,” the job description says.
In addition to domain knowledge and experience in the cryptocurrency industry, the candidate is expected to have experience in M&A, investment banking and project management.
