As a Product Manager for AML Screening at Napier, you will define the product roadmap and manage client and payment transaction screening to combat financial crime.
Imagine catching criminals before they strike—that’s exactly what Napier’s AI-powered platform does! By analysing transactions and customers in real time, Napier AI’s technology empowers financial institutions to spot suspicious activity, like money laundering, and stops it in its tracks.
Napier AI’s technology works like a digital detective, combining AI with smart analytics to outthink criminals and protect people’s money from becoming criminal proceeds. It’s not just about stopping crime—it’s about making the financial world safer and more trustworthy for everyone.
The Role: Product Manager
As a Product Manager at Napier, you will own the roadmap and strategic direction for AML Screening capabilities across both Client Screening (KYC, onboarding, periodic review) and Payment/Transaction Screening (real-time and batch processing). You will act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and a key link between customers, compliance stakeholders, and development teams.
This role requires an experienced, client-facing professional with a strong background in agile product management and a deep understanding of financial crime screening solutions. You will work collaboratively across teams to identify customer needs, prioritise feature development, and deliver innovative solutions that drive business value across the full AML screening lifecycle.
You will guide a dedicated development team while maintaining a strong external presence with clients, translating complex regulatory and operational requirements into actionable product plans and ensuring alignment with Napier’s overall vision.
You excel at the intersection of strategy, technology and customer engagement. A confident communicator, you can balance market demands, customer needs and technical considerations to shape products that solve complex financial crime challenges.
