Innovative Systems, a worldwide leader of hi-tech data management, AML compliance, and Payment Screening solutions, is looking for a high-achieving detail-oriented AML Screening Product Manager (reporting to the Head of Product) who wants to be with an organization where they can make a REAL IMPACT! Innovative provides just the right mix of opportunities. What's the challenge? An AML Screening Product Manager faces the ongoing challenge of balancing speed, accuracy, and compliance in an environment where regulatory expectations evolve faster than product release cycles. Delivering real-time decisioning while minimizing false positive rates becomes a core tension for compliance teams, especially as organizations demand faster results, agentic reviews, and a seamless user experience. Ensuring the product remains technically resilient while integrating with diverse third party data providers, and partner tools designed to enhance the scope of the results, adds operational and architectural complexity that must be managed on an ongoing basis. At the same time, the product manager must understand and operationalize compliance requirements that differ across jurisdictions, industries, and payment types. This means translating regulatory mandates into actionable product functionalities while addressing customer pain points such as workflow bottlenecks, alert fatigue, screening latency, and evolving risk typologies. Engaging customers is both essential and challenging: they expect ease of use, rapid enhancements, and high configurability to match their internal policies. The PM must continuously prioritize features that minimize customer risk while ensuring the product remains competitive, scalable, and adaptable to new technologies and functionality in the market. How will I make an impact? You'll help define and advance Innovative's customer sanctions, watchlist, and payment screening capabilities in the global market, partnering closely with customers, engineers, and industry experts. Your work will directly influence how Innovative's customers conduct onboarding and payment screening, while supporting global requirements for a secure ecosystem. This is not a "sit in meetings and write requirements" role. This is a chance to influence product direction, work directly with customers, and help ensure that complex screening flows are executed accurately, efficiently, and defensibly-at global scale. If you want your work to have real regulatory, operational, and customer impact, you'll find the opportunity here. Key Responsibilities Owns the product lifecycle for AML Screening products, including discovery, roadmap development, requirements definition, and release management Work with Partner Managers to identify new curated data sources and strategic partner integrations. Develop a deep understanding of customer needs and industry trends to inform product decisions and strategic initiatives. Partner with engineering, operations, and revenue stakeholders to design and deliver enhancements and new functionality across the screening platform. Analyze screening data, user feedback, and operational metrics to identify optimization opportunities. Support go to market planning, customer onboarding, and internal enablement for new payment capabilities. Research and understand capabilities of key competitors, their product focus, and serve as an internal expert of the competitive landscape for revenue and product teams. What do I need to have to make an impact? The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 2-3 years supporting AML, sanctions, KYC, fraud, compliance, or financial crime solutions. Experience reducing false positives and improving screening effectiveness within AML/sanctions screening workflows. A strong understanding of the following: AML regulations and compliance frameworks OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT, and other sanctions programs PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening Adverse media screening Customer and payment screening workflows Strong business requirements writing experience, including taking complex customer requests and feedback and turning them into actionable requirements Familiarity with global financial crime compliance expectations across banking, fintech, payments, and financial services. Demonstrated experience defining product vision, roadmap strategy, and prioritization frameworks. Experience working with APIs, data integrations, and enterprise software platforms. Define and monitor key product KPIs including screening accuracy, false positive rates, throughput, latency, customer adoption, and operational efficiency.

Innovative Systems, a worldwide leader of hi-tech data management, AML compliance, and Payment Screening solutions, is looking for a high-achieving detail-oriented AML Screening Product Manager (reporting to the Head of Product) who wants to be with an organization where they can make a REAL IMPACT! Innovative provides just the right mix of opportunities. What's the challenge? An AML Screening Product Manager faces the ongoing challenge of balancing speed, accuracy, and compliance in an environment where regulatory expectations evolve faster than product release cycles. Delivering real-time decisioning while minimizing false positive rates becomes a core tension for compliance teams, especially as organizations demand faster results, agentic reviews, and a seamless user experience. Ensuring the product remains technically resilient while integrating with diverse third party data providers, and partner tools designed to enhance the scope of the results, adds operational and architectural complexity that must be managed on an ongoing basis. At the same time, the product manager must understand and operationalize compliance requirements that differ across jurisdictions, industries, and payment types. This means translating regulatory mandates into actionable product functionalities while addressing customer pain points such as workflow bottlenecks, alert fatigue, screening latency, and evolving risk typologies. Engaging customers is both essential and challenging: they expect ease of use, rapid enhancements, and high configurability to match their internal policies. The PM must continuously prioritize features that minimize customer risk while ensuring the product remains competitive, scalable, and adaptable to new technologies and functionality in the market. How will I make an impact? You'll help define and advance Innovative's customer sanctions, watchlist, and payment screening capabilities in the global market, partnering closely with customers, engineers, and industry experts. Your work will directly influence how Innovative's customers conduct onboarding and payment screening, while supporting global requirements for a secure ecosystem. This is not a "sit in meetings and write requirements" role. This is a chance to influence product direction, work directly with customers, and help ensure that complex screening flows are executed accurately, efficiently, and defensibly-at global scale. If you want your work to have real regulatory, operational, and customer impact, you'll find the opportunity here. Key Responsibilities Owns the product lifecycle for AML Screening products, including discovery, roadmap development, requirements definition, and release management Work with Partner Managers to identify new curated data sources and strategic partner integrations. Develop a deep understanding of customer needs and industry trends to inform product decisions and strategic initiatives. Partner with engineering, operations, and revenue stakeholders to design and deliver enhancements and new functionality across the screening platform. Analyze screening data, user feedback, and operational metrics to identify optimization opportunities. Support go to market planning, customer onboarding, and internal enablement for new payment capabilities. Research and understand capabilities of key competitors, their product focus, and serve as an internal expert of the competitive landscape for revenue and product teams. What do I need to have to make an impact? The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 2-3 years supporting AML, sanctions, KYC, fraud, compliance, or financial crime solutions. Experience reducing false positives and improving screening effectiveness within AML/sanctions screening workflows. A strong understanding of the following: AML regulations and compliance frameworks OFAC, UN, EU, UK HMT, and other sanctions programs PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening Adverse media screening Customer and payment screening workflows Strong business requirements writing experience, including taking complex customer requests and feedback and turning them into actionable requirements Familiarity with global financial crime compliance expectations across banking, fintech, payments, and financial services. Demonstrated experience defining product vision, roadmap strategy, and prioritization frameworks. Experience working with APIs, data integrations, and enterprise software platforms.
