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
