Head of Product - AIVM (Agentic AI & Blockchain Platform) - Middle East

Overview

About AIVM

About The Role

• We are looking for a highly technical and execution-driven Head of Product to lead one of the most ambitious initiatives in Web3: the AIVM (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine).
• Reporting to the CEO, you will translate AIVM's company vision into product architecture, roadmap, developer experience, and launch execution, including:
• The Policy Oracle: Cryptographic guardrails that intercept, evaluate, and enforce agent action before execution
• Agent Identity and Reputation: including emerging standards such as ERC-8004
• Programmable Payments and Wallet Abstraction: including x402-inspired flows
• Immutable Accountability: via execution receipts that make agent actions traceable and auditable
• We are currently in a high-velocity, pre-mainnet phase.
• This is not a conventional SaaS feature-shipping role.
• You will define primitives, product architecture, developer experience, and ecosystem adoption from pre-mainnet to launch.

Execution & Product Leadership

• Build and lead a high-performance product function
• Drive end-to-end product execution from concept to Mainnet and beyond
• Establish product processes that balance speed, quality, and scalability

• Proven ability to define and execute product strategy in complex, emerging markets
