- Implement AI and automation features with human-in-the-loop controls for regulatory compliance.
- Coordinate regular updates and delivery status reports with engineering and adjacent product teams.
What you'll need
- 4+ years of product management experience, including 2+ years in financial-crime systems.
- Knowledge of AML program examinations, regulatory questions, and model validation processes.
- Technical fluency to discuss data flows and system design deeply with engineering teams.
- Proven track record of shipping internal tools that measurably improve operations team efficiency.
- Strong writing skills for PRDs, phase plans, audit walkthroughs, and executive updates.
- Judgement to manage stakeholder expectations regarding realistic timelines and requirements.
