Director of Product - AML & Digital Asset Compliance

Responsibilities

Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for CertiK's AML and digital asset compliance products.
Spend significant time with customers and prospective customers, including CCOs, MLROs, AML teams, investigators, and risk leaders, to deeply understand their workflows and unmet needs.
Identify repeatable market problems behind individual customer requests and determine which problems should become scalable products.
Translate customer and market insights into product concepts, prototypes, requirements, and clear engineering priorities.
Drive products from discovery through design, development, launch, adoption, and iteration.
Define the key workflows, risk models, decision systems, and user experiences required by institutional compliance teams.
Work closely with Engineering and Data teams to make appropriate product and technical trade offs.
Partner with Business Development and customer facing teams during strategic sales cycles, including discovery, product demonstrations, pilots, and design partnerships.
Work with Compliance and regulatory experts to translate evolving AML, sanctions, and digital asset requirements into scalable product capabilities.
Measure success through customer adoption, product usage, enterprise wins, expansion, and other measurable business outcomes.

Requirements

• Significant product management experience building B2B software in fintech, regtech, financial services, risk, compliance, or digital assets.
• A track record of owning meaningful products or product areas from discovery through launch and adoption.
• Deep understanding of AML, financial crime, transaction monitoring, sanctions, KYC/KYB, investigations, or related compliance workflows.
• Experience building or working closely with products such as transaction monitoring, blockchain analytics, wallet screening, risk engines, case management, investigation platforms, or compliance workflow systems.
• Strong customer discovery skills. You can speak credibly with senior compliance leaders and frontline analysts, understand both what they say and what they actually need, and translate those insights into product decisions.
• Strong product judgment. You know the difference between a one off customer request and a repeatable market need, and you are comfortable making hard prioritization decisions.
• Commercial instincts. You understand that a successful enterprise product must not only work, customers must adopt it, pay for it, and expand their usage.
• Ability to operate in an ambiguous, early stage product environment and personally drive work forward rather than simply coordinate across teams.

Bonus Points

• Experience building AML or compliance products at a blockchain analytics, fintech, regtech, exchange, bank, or financial infrastructure company.
• Experience with blockchain analytics, KYT, wallet screening, on chain investigations, or digital asset risk.
• Previous experience as an AML practitioner, compliance officer, MLRO, investigator, or financial crime professional.
• Experience working with regulated financial institutions and understanding how compliance products are evaluated, procured, implemented, and operated.
• Experience with regulatory examinations, VASP licensing, or financial crime remediation.
• CAMS or another relevant professional qualification.
• Relationships with compliance and risk leaders across banks, fintechs, exchanges, VASPs, regulators, or law enforcement.
