In an era defined by AI and rapid tech acceleration, we are looking for a smart, creative problem solver who prioritizes execution speed alongside diligence to eliminate regulatory risks and automate workflows

• Requirements Discovery & Synthesis: Work collaboratively with 2nd-line AML and AFC control functions to translate complex regulatory and threat-mitigation requirements into clear, actionable technical specifications, enabling the engineering team to execute seamlessly
• Threat Prevention & Detection: Partner with AML and AFC departments to continuously model, prevent, and detect suspicious or unlawful activities across Scalable’s expanding platform
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate closely with peer Product Managers across our Broker, Wealth, Credit, and Banking offerings to ensure seamless integration of AFC controls into all user journeys and product workflows
• Technical Roadmap Ownership: Take full ownership of the AFC product roadmap and system architecture, working hand-in-hand with a large team of Engineers to design robust, scalable solutions on top of our data lake and newly built infrastructure
• Execution Speed & Diligence: Drive end-to-end product delivery, from technical evaluation to production release, balancing high execution velocity with absolute accuracy and meticulous attention to detail
