TL;DR · Senior Lead Product Manager

The Sr Lead Product Manager joins the Risk Decisioning Platform team to own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for a core platform pillar. This role involves translating measurable outcomes like loss reduction and revenue into grounded specifications while collaborating with engineering, data science, risk strategy, and UX. You will build scalable solutions, track platform health metrics, drive legacy migration, and enable real-time experimentation and rule governance. Key technical requirements include experience with recommendation engines, real-time inference systems, ML/AI infrastructure, feature stores, and A/B experimentation frameworks. The role addresses the critical business problem of processing massive signal volumes in milliseconds to drive fraud, credit, and compliance decisions. You will manage cross-team dependencies and lead product reviews to ensure the platform meets regulatory requirements and customer needs.

What you'll do

  • Drive product strategy with cross-functional stakeholders to align with the shared vision for the platform.
  • Plan and implement an architectural roadmap that balances innovative design, technical implementation, and regulatory requirements.
  • Translate measurable outcomes like loss reduction and revenue into grounded product specifications.
  • Set up data gathering mechanisms and lead workstreams for analytics, customer discovery, and market research.
  • Oversee product profitability measures and manage the product budget.
  • Plan operational mechanisms for execution and accountability, including product reviews and business reviews.
  • Track platform health metrics and interpret data to drive informed product decisions.
  • Manage cross-team dependencies and execute milestone-driven roadmaps using agile delivery at scale.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of relevant experience and a Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Experience building or managing products in the decisioning, recommendation engine, or real-time scoring space (preferred).
  • Familiarity with feature stores, real-time inference pipelines, rule engines, or A/B experimentation frameworks (preferred).
  • Track record of driving platform adoption across multiple internal customer teams (preferred).
  • Strong data intuition to define and interpret platform metrics and translate findings into product decisions (preferred).
  • Experience with agile delivery at scale, including cross-team dependency management and milestone-driven roadmap execution (preferred).
