The Product Manager for Risk Services will play a critical role in transforming the way Risk operates by leading product thinking, shaping strategic initiatives, and building scalable, future-facing solutions across the bank.

This role plays a key part in deciding which features across Risk will deliver long-term business value, and with initial focus on FC (Financial Crime) transformation, but with a broader remit to drive tech-enabled change across Risk functions including Collections and Controls.

Key Responsibilities:

FC Transformation Leadership:

• Define and deliver a vision for a seamless, user-centred FC Orchestration platform.
• Ensure integration with existing data and tech infrastructure for smooth end-to-end customer and colleague journeys.
• Drive measurable outcomes such as reducing the volume of FC referrals, improving straight-through processing rates, and enhancing operational efficiency.

Strategic Roadmap Management:

• Own and evolve the Risk tech roadmap by gathering and summarising demand across the business.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (e.g. Amazon Connect, Engineering, Compliance) to prioritise initiatives that deliver ROI, mitigate risk exposure, and that align with the Bank’s strategic goals
• Sequence work to deliver value incrementally

Demand Shaping & Prioritisation:

• Facilitate structured collection, documentation, and prioritisation of use cases and business needs across Risk.
• Support the Risk team to translate Risk “problems” into products – clearer definition of who is impacted, what the underlying user needs are, what success looks like
• Drive alignment of demand with other bank-wide initiatives, articulating ROI and benefits to stakeholders.

Control Automation & Assurance:

• Partner with Head of Controls Testing to drive the automation of manual controls across the bank, to reduce operational risk and improve assurance quality.
• Identify opportunities for scalable solutions to replace labour-intensive/manual testing processes.

Business Case & Value Realisation:

• Support teams in evaluating costings and business cases, including alternative options and benefit quantification.
• Ensure initiatives have robust business cases and stakeholder buy-in to move swiftly into delivery.

Bank-wide Initiative Scoping:

• Drive scoping and early-stage shaping of major Risk-led initiatives (e.g., Collections platform), engaging the right stakeholders early to build strong cases.

Cross-functional Collaboration & Transformation Leadership:

• Act as a bridge between domain experts (e.g. Compliance, Risk SMEs) and delivery squads (Product, Design, Tech) to co-create meaningful solutions.
• Bring a mindset of continuous discovery, experimentation, and iterative delivery
• Ongoing review and challenge of features to ensure appropriate use of data pipelines, integration with third parties, and adaptability to emerging risks.

Value This Role Will Add:

• Introduces a product mindset to Risk, ensuring solutions are driven by user needs and outcomes, not just regulatory requirements.
• Owns delivery of key business outcomes (not just implementation) such as reducing FC referrals, improving time to resolution, and increasing automation.
• Aligns technology investments with strategic business goals and enterprise priorities.
• Builds coherence across multiple Risk initiatives by setting a clear vision and roadmap.
• Accelerates delivery through upfront shaping, prioritisation, and clarity of requirements and outcomes.
• Elevates the Risk team’s influence across the bank by clearly articulating the value and rationale of initiatives. 

• 3+ years of experience in product management, ideally in the financial services or fintech industry.
• Proven track record of launching and managing successful digital products.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships across teams.
• Experience with agile methodologies and tools such as JIRA, Trello, or similar.
• A passion for innovation and a deep understanding of customer needs and market trends.
