- Partner with Compliance, Risk, Legal, Model Risk/Validation (as applicable), and Audit stakeholders to ensure capabilities are defensible, well-documented, and exam-ready.
- Provide senior oversight of screening operations outcomes—working with operations leadership on capacity planning, SLA performance, quality assurance, escalation protocols, and continuous improvement.
- Define and monitor key KPIs/KRIs (e.g., alert volumes, aging/backlogs, quality results, false positive reduction, tuning outcomes, platform stability) and ensure performance is understood and acted upon.
- Drive end-to-end issue management and remediation for defects, data quality gaps, or process breakdowns, ensuring sustainable fixes across technology and operations.
- Recruit, coach, and retain a diverse team of product leaders and contributors accountable for requirements, user journeys, and end-to-end lifecycle delivery.
- Translate customer and internal stakeholder needs into clear business requirements, epics, and acceptance criteria; support technology execution from discovery through launch and iteration.
- Lead go-to-market/enablement activities for new capabilities (internal and external as relevant), including readiness materials, training, and stakeholder education.
- 10+ years of progressive Product Management experience within a bank, payments company, fintech, or regulated financial services environment.
- Demonstrated success building and scaling complex, cross-functional products/services with measurable outcomes and strong governance.
- Strong understanding of sanctions screening concepts and operating ecosystems (e.g., watchlist ingestion, matching, case workflows, tuning optimization, change control, data dependencies).
- Proven ability to lead in a matrixed environment—partnering effectively across Technology, Operations, Compliance, Risk, and Legal; able to challenge and drive decisions.
- Deep knowledge of APIs and platform product practices (client/developer needs, documentation, lifecycle/versioning, reliability, adoption).
- Exceptional executive communication skills (written and verbal), including senior management and client-facing materials.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent required.
- Create and manage a global vendor/partner framework and engagement model to support screening capabilities where applicable.
- Establish performance management disciplines and ensure vendor decisions support resiliency, compliance, scalability, and cost effectiveness.
