Job Description

As the Senior Manager – Product Owner, Entity & Network Analytics Platform (Quantexa), you will own the business-product strategy, roadmap and outcomes for the entity & network analytics platform (Quantexa) that supports financial-crime investigation — enabling investigators to explore entities, relationships and networks as part of their casework. This platform is one of several within a broader investigations tooling portfolio, and you will own it as its dedicated product owner — starting with a significant platform upgrade. You will lead the business ownership of that uplift, defining what "good" looks like, prioritizing capabilities, and working hand-in-hand with a dedicated Agile delivery team to bring it to life. They must combine strong product ownership with a solid grasp of financial-crime investigations and the governance and regulatory realities of a regulated platform, ensuring the platform delivers real value to investigators and analysts while meeting the needs of line‑of‑business stakeholders.

What will you do?

• Own the product vision, roadmap and prioritized backlog for the platform (Quantexa), sequencing capabilities against risk, value and the upgrade timeline.
• Collaborate daily with the Agile delivery team throughout the upgrade — participating in sprint planning, refinement, reviews and retrospectives, and providing clear direction and acceptance criteria for the work.
• Act as the empowered decision‑maker on scope, priorities and what is released for the platform, balancing scope, time and delivery constraints.
• Own the business definition of how the platform is used for investigations — the entity and network views, workflows and analytics investigators rely on, and how platform outputs are consumed in the investigative process.
• Validate delivered increments against acceptance criteria and business value, and adjust priorities as needs evolve through the upgrade.
• Ensure platform changes move through appropriate change control and that platform outputs meet the quality and evidence standards required for regulatory defensibility.
• Partner with investigators and analysts across all financial‑crime functions to ground the platform in real operational needs and drive adoption of upgraded capabilities.
• Work within the broader investigations tooling portfolio — coordinating with the portfolio lead and other platform / product owners so the platform composes with the wider toolset rather than duplicating it.
• Partner with Model Risk Management, technology and data functions on delivery, validation and ongoing monitoring of platform outputs.

What do you need to succeed?

Must‑have

• Bachelor's degree in business, technology, finance or a related field.
• Proven product ownership / product management experience, ideally delivering data, analytics or platform capabilities in an Agile environment.
• Experience supporting or leading platform upgrades or migrations, working closely with a dedicated delivery team.
• Strong understanding of financial‑crime investigation (AML, fraud, sanctions or related disciplines) and the associated regulatory environment.
• Experience delivering capabilities in a governed, regulated environment, including working with control, risk and assurance functions.
• Strong stakeholder management and the ability to translate complex operational needs into a clear product roadmap, with comfort managing scope, time and priority trade‑offs.

Nice‑to‑have

• Hands‑on familiarity with entity & network analytics or decision‑intelligence platforms (e.g., Quantexa) or comparable tooling.
• Familiarity with Model Risk Management processes (validation, monitoring, revalidation).
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CAMS, product/agile certifications such as CSPO/SAFe).
• Experience working with auditors, regulators and second/third‑line functions.

What’s in it for you?

• A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable
• Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities
• Ability to make a difference and lasting impact
• Work in a dynamic, collaborative, progressive, and high‑performing team
• A world‑class training program in financial services
• Opportunities to do challenging work
