• Work with Engineering to evolve the platform's scalability, reliability, and integration with Socure's broader product suite.

What You Bring

• Experience: 3–5 years in product management, preferably in compliance technology, AML/sanctions screening, identity verification, or ML-driven products.
• Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with AML/BSA regulations, sanctions screening workflows, or financial crime compliance is strongly preferred.
• Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of APIs, data pipelines, and ML model behavior; comfortable reviewing technical specs and writing SQL.
• Analytical Skills: Ability to evaluate screening performance metrics (recall, precision, hit rate) and translate them into product decisions.
• Customer Focus: Experience working directly with compliance buyers, financial institutions, or enterprise customers in complex environments.
• Communication: Ability to explain technical or compliance concepts clearly to engineering partners, compliance buyers, and executive stakeholders.
• Collaboration: Proven ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering, Data Science, and go-to-market teams in a fast-paced environment.

You must be located in one of our talent hubs: New York, San Francisco, Seattle, or Miami.
