  • Translate Responsible AI principles into concrete platform requirements for legal, security, and compliance teams.
  • Make prioritization and trade-off decisions across engineering, legal, security, sales, and client delivery teams.
  • Lead platform architecture decisions and build versus buy calls in partnership with engineering leadership.
  • Manage, hire, and perform performance reviews for a team of product managers and engineers.
  • Provide executive-level reporting on platform health, risk posture, and adoption to senior leadership and regulators.
  • Evaluate vendors and partners for trust, identity, fraud, and compliance technologies.

What we're looking for

  • 15+ years in product management.
  • At least 5 years in a senior leadership role owning a platform or major product line.
  • Direct experience building or scaling products in trust and safety, identity/fraud, risk, or compliance and data governance.
  • Experience across more than one of these areas is strongly preferred.
  • Track record of operating in regulated or high-scrutiny environments.
  • Success taking products from concept through launch, including at least one 0-to-1 launch and one experience scaling a product.
  • Experience managing people, including product managers and engineers.
  • Strong technical fluency to have credible conversations with engineering on architecture and trade-offs.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Prior experience at a large IT services, consulting, or enterprise software company (preferred).
  • Familiarity with AI governance frameworks and emerging AI regulation (preferred).
  • Experience partnering with a Chief Trust Officer, Chief Risk Officer, or Chief Responsible AI Officer (preferred).
