About the role
Our core Account Verification product has already changed the game. Now, we are scaling our vision. We've launched a new domain-Focussed on Financial crime prevention and detection-to build a powerhouse suite of actionable insights for Fraud and Anti-Money Laundering. The train has already left the station: we have a vision, a working prototype, and positive validation from major banks. However, to win in this competitive market, we need more than just technical direction. We need a Domain Lead who can provide the functional "north star"-someone who can look at a list of features and decide exactly which ML model or use case will deliver the highest value to a Tier-1 bank. This isn't about building from scratch in a vacuum; it's about taking the helm of a high-speed project and making the hard calls. With your expertise in fraud, you will drive our next level product; FinCrime Insights, nurturing it from an ambitious initiative into a fully grown-up business unit by the end of 2026. Your core responsibilities will be: Domain Ownership: Working with a dedicated Product Owner, Product Manager, and two specialized IT teams to turn complex data points into world-class detection models. Strategic Decision Making: Answering the "What" and "When." Should we prioritize specific fraud types or AML triggers? Which features move the needle for a CISO or Head of Compliance? You are the subject matter expert able to answer these questions. Client Partnership: Acting as the trusted subject matter expert in high-stakes conversations with banks, translating their pain points into our product roadmap. Cross-functional collaboration: Orchestrating alignment with relevant stakeholders and departments About you We are looking for a Fraud authority who knows exactly how banks think. You are a super specialist when it comes to fraud detection and prevention. You understand the bureaucracy and risk-appetite of a bank, but believe you will thrive in the agile, sometimes "messy" environment of a scaling software company and are eager to use your expertise to drive this domain. To be successful in this role you: Have a solid background (8+ yrs) in fraud detection within a banking environment. You understand rule-writing, model building, and how detection systems fit into a bank's complex architecture. Are a Regulatory Expert: You stay ahead of the curve on AMLR, PSD3, and PSR, understanding how shifting laws impact detection strategies. Live Pragmatic Decisiveness: You have a strong bias for action. When the team asks for a direction, you provide it based on evidence and experience. Have Resilience: You aren't rattled by ambiguity. You can pivot when the market shifts and keep the team motivated. Are a Master Storyteller: You can simplify complex technical fraud concepts into inspiring visions for stakeholders and clients alike.
