You will set product KPIs, own the roadmap, and work closely with Engineering, Data Science, Risk, Compliance, Product Compliance, and Internal Audit.

You will translate complex regulatory, operational, and technical requirements into scalable platform products while keeping governance simple and efficient for users.
