The role requires working closely with Compliance, Engineering, Data Engineering, and Customer Experience teams and explaining and defending models to global regulators and examiners.

Responsibilities

• Proactively uncover and articulate opportunities to enhance models, leveraging advanced AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), and develop business cases to secure alignment with Compliance and Engineering teams.
• Serve as a bridge between Compliance and Engineering: translate regulatory and business needs into actionable technical requirements and communicate complex technical issues back to Compliance stakeholders.
• Present and defend model design, effectiveness, and governance to global regulators and examiners through verbal engagements and documentation.
• Define product roadmaps and prioritize features based on regulatory expectations and business impact.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams including Engineering, Compliance, Data Engineering, and Customer Experience.

Requirements

• Proven experience in Financial Crime Compliance as a Product Manager, Business Analyst, or Engineer.
• Exceptional skills in creating clear, detailed documentation, including diagrams, flowcharts, and Product Requirement Documents (PRDs).
• Demonstrated track record in implementing Machine Learning and/or AI-driven solutions.
• Strong project management capabilities, from concept through delivery, launch, and ongoing monitoring and optimization.
• Experience engaging effectively with regulators and examiners, including clear communication and defense of complex technical solutions.
• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and other stakeholders.
• Analytical mindset; able to use data-driven insights to inform decisions and refine product strategies.

Nice to haves

• Prior success managing complex, multi-stakeholder product initiatives.
• ACAMS Certification.

Location & Work Model
