Summary Generated by Built In
Innovative Systems, a worldwide leader of hi-tech data management, AML compliance, and Payment Screening solutions, is looking for a high-achieving detail-oriented Associate Product Manager who wants to be with an organization where they can make a REAL IMPACT! Innovative provides just the right mix of opportunities.
What’s the challenge?
An Associate Product Manager responsible for integrating third‑party regulatory solutions faces the ongoing challenge of delivering compliant, scalable functionality in an environment where regulatory requirements evolve faster than product development cycles. The role requires coordinating multiple external vendors—each with distinct data models, APIs, and coverage areas— to support customer obligations across sanctions, AML, and fraud prevention.
Unlike building solely in‑house capabilities, this role centers on evaluating, integrating, and sustaining third‑party technologies that address specific regulatory needs across industries, jurisdictions, and transaction types. The APM must balance speed of integration with solution accuracy, usability, and regulatory alignment, all while minimizing operational friction such as false positives, alert volume, and screening latency.
Success depends on translating complex and sometimes ambiguous regulatory expectations into clear product requirements and integration patterns that work within customers’ existing workflows and technical ecosystems. At the same time, the APM must work closely with engineering, compliance, and partner teams to ensure integrations remain resilient, configurable, and adaptable as regulations, partner capabilities, and customer risk profiles evolve.
How will I make an impact?
You’ll help to evolve Innovative’s industry leading name and payment screening capabilities with new partner offerings that will deliver additional value and functionality to our customers. You will also partner closely with customers, engineers, and industry experts to identify industry opportunities for solutions. Your work will directly influence how organizations detect financial crime while delivering modern, real‑time payment experiences.
