Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Industry Focus: Fintech, Digital Banking, Product Risk, Governance, Financial Technology
INNOVATION WITH INTELLIGENCE BUILT IN
The most successful fintech organizations understand that risk management should not exist at the end of the product lifecycle.
It should be designed into the product from the beginning.
We are seeking a sophisticated Manager to lead product-risk and digital-governance initiatives across rapidly evolving financial technology environments.
This role sits at the intersection of product management, technology, risk analytics, operational governance, data, and strategic decision-making.
YOUR MANDATE
You will:
-
Establish product-risk frameworks for digital financial products.
-
Review new fintech products and identify potential operational, technology, customer, and financial risks.
-
Partner with product teams to embed appropriate controls into product design.
-
Develop risk-assessment methodologies for digital financial services.
-
Establish governance frameworks for AI-enabled financial products.
-
Monitor product performance and identify emerging risk patterns.
-
Develop executive dashboards covering product-risk indicators.
-
Coordinate risk assessments across technology, product, operations, security, and data teams.
-
Evaluate third-party technology and fintech-partner risks.
-
Establish product-review processes covering launch, expansion, and major changes.
-
Develop continuous-improvement programs for product controls.
-
Support strategic decisions involving new financial technologies.
-
Translate complex risk findings into clear executive recommendations.
PRODUCT RISK LANDSCAPE
Your portfolio may include:
Digital Banking | Payments | AI Products | Digital Wallets | Financial APIs | Customer Data | Automated Decisions | Fintech Partnerships | Digital Identity | Financial Platforms
THE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY
You will help establish a simple principle:
Innovation should move quickly—but intelligently.
The objective is not to slow product development.
It is to create frameworks that allow teams to innovate with greater confidence by understanding risks early, designing appropriate controls, and measuring outcomes continuously.
IDEAL PROFILE
-
6+ years in fintech, banking, product risk, technology risk, governance, consulting, or financial services.
-
Strong understanding of digital financial products.
-
Experience assessing technology-enabled products and operational risks.
-
Strong analytical and structured-thinking capabilities.
-
Familiarity with AI, data, digital identity, payments, or financial platforms.
-
Excellent stakeholder-management skills.
-
Ability to influence product and technology teams without relying solely on formal authority.
-
Strong executive communication and reporting skills.
SUCCESS WILL LOOK LIKE
You will help create:
-
Faster and more structured product-risk assessments.
-
Earlier identification of emerging risks.
-
Stronger integration between product and risk teams.
-
Better governance for emerging technologies.
-
Clearer executive visibility into product exposure.
-
More resilient digital financial products.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a role for someone who believes good governance should enable innovation rather than suffocate it.
You will help create the frameworks that allow fintech products to move faster, scale responsibly, and remain resilient as technology and customer expectations evolve.
Compensation: Competitive senior-management package aligned with expertise, responsibility, and strategic impact.
