Chief Product Officer

Chief Product Officer

– Equity Partner –

Location: Remote

Jurisdiction: Global

Minimum Commitment: 20 hours per week

Department: Tech Core – Product Division (Executive Leadership)

Reports To: CTO

What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This is not a job. It’s a generational opportunity to architect a product ecosystem that shapes culture, fandom, and the future of interactive media.

We’re not hiring someone to ship features.

We’re bringing on a co-creator who will shape the systems that power an entire universe—creator platforms, digital economies, AI tools, immersive pipelines, and IP infrastructure.

Minimum commitment: 20 hours/week. If that’s not realistic for you, this isn’t the right fit. We respect clarity.

This is an equity partner role. That means:

• No upfront cash compensation
• Equity (shares) plus potential future token-based rewards (pending legal clearance)
• Salary activates with revenue milestones
• Remote-first, async-native, founder-caliber culture

Let’s Be Absolutely Clear

There is no roadmap.

There is no playbook.

There are no legacy systems to maintain.

You are here to invent the product layer.

To shape the infrastructure of experience.

To lead a generation-defining build—where product is not just function, but form, feeling, and future.

If you want to be handed a spec sheet—this isn’t for you.

But if you’re ready to design the system—this is your table.

Overview

We’re looking for a Chief Product Officer to architect and lead the entire product dimension of Anime Universe—a global platform fusing storytelling, fan economies, immersive experiences, and decentralized infrastructure.

You will design the blueprint.

You will build the team.

You will shape the process.

You will define what “product” means inside a company that refuses to follow templates.

From creator tools to community systems, from IP utilities to real-time pipelines—if it touches the user, the creator, or the ecosystem, it’s yours.

What You’ll Own

• Architect the entire product landscape: vision, strategy, systems, and delivery
• Lead cross-functional squads across product, design, engineering, and experience
• Drive zero-to-one product development across platform-scale, creator, and user tools
• Define the operating models: lifecycle management, feedback loops, roadmap frameworks
• Build the product team: hire, mentor, scale global talent with clarity and velocity
• Partner with CTO, CEO, and C-level leaders to bridge product with IP, tech, and business outcomes
• Translate vision into flow—building internal systems that connect goals to momentum
• Shape and evolve AU’s product development frameworks: design intelligence, perpetual prototyping, and execution flow
• Own user experience end-to-end: delight, retention, depth, and emotion

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years in product leadership, including 3+ at the executive level (CPO, VP Product, etc.)
• Proven experience building and scaling products across multiple stages (0→1, scale, reinvention)
• Mastery of full-stack product: strategy, systems, UX, platform thinking
• Obsessive about users, builders, and creators—you think in flows, journeys, and outcomes
• Fluent in metrics, but guided by meaning—able to connect analytics to emotion
• Prior experience in fan-tech, creator platforms, immersive tools, SaaS, or marketplaces
• Bonus for blockchain, AI-native systems, digital economies, or platform ecosystems
• Even more bonus if you’ve fundraised, pitched to boards, or helped steer a product org to scale

Compensation

Equity (Shares): Founding partner-level equity

Token-Based Rewards: Potential future compensation (pending compliance)

Future Salary: Activates with revenue benchmarks

Remote First: Globally distributed, async-first, autonomy-driven culture

Our Promise

We’re not offering a job. We’re offering a seat at the core of a once-in-a-generation platform.

A living, evolving product system.

An infinite creative canvas.

A company where product is not a department—it’s the foundation of everything. If you’ve been waiting for the one build that truly matters—this is it.

Best regards,
