- Translate program compliance obligations (AML/OFAC, CIP/KYC, UDAAP, ACH, consumer disclosures, subcontractor due diligence) into product requirements, user stories and controls
- Work with compliance resources, the bank partner and auditors on compliance requests, evidence gathering and remediation
- Maintain documentation of workflows, decisions and controls to support audits and partner reviews
- Lead the product response to production issues and partner outages, including member impact, customer communication and post-incident follow-through
- Monitor program health, including enrollment funnel, activation, transaction volume, declines, settlement issues and member complaints, and use the data to inform product decisions
- Coordinate App Store releases for both Android and iOS, and own UAT sign-off before release
- Coordinate with design to deliver a best-in-class card enrollment and card management experience
- Coordinate with supporting payments vendors, such as ACH processing and bank account verification providers
- Work closely with Customer Support, Finance, Marketing, Legal and engineering leadership to ensure their requirements are documented and met
- Track dependencies with work being done by other teams and projects
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager, including at least 3 years on a payments, card, banking or fintech product
- Hands-on experience with card program operations: issuing, authorization, posting and settlement, disputes, and processor or bank partner relationships
- Working knowledge of financial compliance requirements (AML/BSA, OFAC, KYC/CIP, UDAAP, ACH/NACHA) and experience turning them into product requirements and controls
- Proven track record of delivering consumer-facing mobile app features on iOS and Android
- Proven experience managing external partners or vendors, including escalation during live incidents
- Strong understanding of agile development methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban, and tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps
