We are looking for a Compliance Product Manager to build and improve the AML and KYC products our Compliance team relies on every day, with a focus on AML. You will work closely with Compliance, Operations, Engineering, and Data to turn compliance requirements and day-to-day pain points into clear product flows, system rules, and measurable improvements.

Responsibilities

• Own and improve our AML and KYC products, with a focus on AML.
• Work with Compliance to turn regulatory requirements across regions into product requirements and system rules, and deliver the projects. Bring a global perspective: solutions that scale across regions and allow for local differences.
• Learn from Compliance's SOPs and find ways to improve them through product.
• Build our Risk and AML infrastructure, including screening, transaction monitoring, rule engines, case management, STR/SAR reporting, and audit trails, with clear decision logic, manual review, and escalation rules.
• Improve KYC onboarding and verification flows, including CDD/EDD, risk tiering, and manual review.
• Use data, such as review time, automation rate, alert outcomes, and false-positive rates, to find where rules and processes can be improved.
• Support internal audit and regulatory inquiries by keeping alerts, case decisions, and system records documented and traceable.
• Interpret key compliance points and work with Data Engineering, Engineering, and QA to deliver projects from requirements to launch, with clear PRDs and acceptance criteria.

Requirements

• 3+ years of Product Management experience, preferably in fintech, payments, digital banking, crypto, financial services, or other regulated industries.
• Hands-on experience with at least one of the following areas: KYC / identity verification, AML / sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, or compliance / case-management platforms.
• Good understanding of KYC and AML concepts, including CDD/EDD, risk-based approach, screening, manual review, and transaction monitoring.
• Ability to translate ambiguous compliance or operational requirements into structured product flows, system rules, and executable requirements.
• Able to read through existing compliance SOPs, spot problems or opportunities for improvement, and work out practical ways to solve them.
• Strong analytical mindset and ability to use approval, rejection, accuracy, and operational data to diagnose product problems.
• Able to independently drive projects and work effectively with Compliance, Operations, Engineering, QA, and Data teams.
• Strong attention to detail, especially around system states, decision rules, exception cases, and auditability.
• Good working English, both written and spoken.
• Strong ownership, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with blockchain-specific AML topics, such as the Travel Rule and on-chain KYT.
• Experience with blockchain analytics or transaction-monitoring tools such as Elliptic, Chainalysis, TRM Labs, or similar platforms.
• Experience in crypto, digital assets, exchanges, cross-border payments, e-wallets, or remittance products.
• Experience building internal compliance tools, rules engines, workflow systems, or case-management platforms.
• Background in compliance, risk, operations, data analytics, or financial institutions is a plus.
