American Express is looking for someone to run its stablecoin strategy. The company has posted a job listing for a Vice President of Stablecoin and Blockchain Partnerships & Strategy, a newly created position housed within its Digital Labs division in New York.
The salary range tells you how seriously Amex is taking this: $176,750 to $282,000 annually.
What the role actually involves
The VP position is built around three pillars: programmable money, stablecoin-enabled payments, and blockchain infrastructure. Amex wants someone who can figure out how to weave stablecoins into the company’s existing payment rails and build partnerships with issuers, networks, and what the listing calls “emerging commerce ecosystems.”
Amex has also posted a companion role for a Vice President of Onchain Products, suggesting the company is building out an entire team focused on blockchain-native capabilities. The job postings surfaced on LinkedIn and Indeed within the last week.
