• Design configurable strategy authoring that enables risk teams to build and modify complex decision logic.
• Build simulation, champion-challenger testing, experimentation, versioning, approvals, rollback, and auditability.
• Establish observability for decision accuracy, false positives, coverage, latency, strategy performance, and business impact.
• Advance AI-powered capabilities for strategy creation, optimization, and decision intelligence.
• Define platform standards and reusable capabilities across risk domains.
• Influence Product, Engineering, Data Science, Risk, Compliance, and Operations leaders.
What you'll bring:
• 10+ years of product management experience, including significant experience building and scaling Risk Decision Platforms.
• Deep expertise in decision engines, strategy/rules management, decision orchestration, and real-time risk decisioning.
• Experience integrating ML models, risk scores, rules, policies, and third-party signals into production decision flows.
• Strong understanding of strategy authoring, simulation, champion-challenger testing, experimentation, governance, and decision observability.
• Experience building self-service platforms used by risk, fraud, or compliance teams to manage decision strategies.
• Strong technical fluency across APIs, event-driven architecture, data platforms, and ML systems.
• Demonstrated ability to define platform strategy and influence senior technical and business leaders.
