WHO YOU ARE:

We are hiring a Product Manager to drive delivery on compliance operations and regulatory intelligence platforms serving life insurance and annuity carriers. The platform covers sanctions and watchlist screening, AML program workflows, payment fraud detection, compliance case management, and the underlying data infrastructure that ties these domains together.

This is hands-on product work in a regulated environment. You will translate regulatory requirements into technical designs, write requirements that engineers can build and auditors can read back, and coordinate across compliance, legal, operations, and engineering stakeholders in the US and India. The work is consequential; the platform you help build is used to make and evidence compliance decisions that affect real policyholders and real carrier clients.

You will be expected to challenge weak designs, ask hard questions about audit defensibility, and hold a high bar for what "done" actually means in a regulated context.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Own end-to-end product delivery for compliance workflow features, from discovery through production release and post-launch monitoring
• Translate regulatory and operational requirements into system designs, OFAC/sanctions screening, AML program workflows, fraud detection and reporting, compliance case management, and evidence retention
• Write detailed product requirements: problem statement, acceptance criteria, assumptions, risks, dependencies, and definition of ready and done; stories must be sized for single-sprint delivery
• Partners with compliance and legal stakeholders to clarify regulatory intent before work enters the sprint, do not let ambiguous requirements become engineering decisions
• Manage integrations with third-party screening and risk intelligence vendors, including onboarding, configuration, and ongoing operational health
• Drive data model and data quality requirements: traceability, timeliness, authoritative source rules, retention controls, and reconciliation between source systems
• Define compliance workflows that are preventative where possible, the goal is to stop a bad outcome before it happens, not detect it afterward
