Senior Product Owner - Fraud and Transaction Monitoring

Role overview

Responsibilities

• Own and prioritize the roadmap within the agreed financial-crime strategy.
• Translate fraud threats, money-laundering scenarios, and control requirements into product requirements, detection logic, and acceptance criteria.
• Develop rules, models, and preventive controls with Engineering, Data, Operations, and Compliance; use AI and machine learning where they demonstrably improve outcomes.
• Establish reliable, timely data inputs and prioritize gaps in data quality, availability, or coverage.
• Evaluate controls using historical data and realistic scenarios, including detection coverage, missed activity, false positives, and customer impact.
• Deliver changes through approvals, testing, staged rollout, monitoring, and rollback plans.
• Measure fraud losses, detection effectiveness, and customer friction after release; improve controls without treating fewer alerts as proof of success.
• Adapt capabilities to emerging threats, products, markets, and transaction types; surface readiness needs and coverage gaps before launch.
• Coordinate delivery across product teams and control owners, clarify priorities and trade-offs, and escalate decisions requiring accountable leadership.

Requirements

• At least 5 years in product ownership or product management, including senior-level end-to-end roadmap ownership.
• Strong financial-crime experience covering both fraud and money laundering in fintech, banking, payments, or another regulated business.
• Hands-on experience building detection capabilities such as rules, models, or transaction-monitoring systems.
• Experience using AI or automation to reduce manual alert review while keeping people involved in complex cases.
• Strong data skills, including understanding data sources and reliability and evaluating detection through historical data, coverage, and false-positive analysis.
• Experience safely releasing changes to live controls with testing, staged rollout, monitoring, and rollback.
• Excellent stakeholder management, including working with Compliance and control owners through approval processes.
• Experience building or growing a product team is desirable.

Benefits

• The employer advertises competitive salary, annual leave, medical insurance, pension benefits, and location-specific perks.
• Benefits include an employee referral program, two paid volunteer days each year, and up to 30 additional days working remotely from elsewhere, subject to restrictions.
