Overview
In this role you own the end-to-end roadmap for Kraken’s investigation platform within Compliance Operations, guiding alert-to-case workflows and ensuring auditability. You’ll align policy, monitoring, and case management to deliver regulator-ready, explainable automation. Collaborating with engineering and cross-functional partners, you shape how investigations are initiated, enriched, grouped, and documented to support audits and regulatory reviews. You’ll lead with a clear plan, define done before build, and drive delivery with a strong governance rhythm.
Responsibilities
- Own the investigation-platform roadmap end to end and defend it against regulator-driven priorities
- Define acceptance criteria and phased deliverables that Compliance signs off before build
- Capture requirements upfront to integrate Compliance policy, monitoring rules, and case management
- Understand workflows deeply to distinguish process fixes from technical changes and scope appropriately for engineering
- Map and challenge data pipeline components: ingestion, profiling, transaction resolution, suppression, grouping, and reconciliation with vendor outputs
- Make auditability a first-class requirement: audit trails, data lineage, evidence retention, reviewer attribution, and change-management controls
- Ship automation and AI within regulated workflows with proper controls and ongoing monitoring
- Maintain an operating rhythm with engineering and product managers, with clear, consistent delivery updates
Key requirements
- 4+ years of product management experience
- 2+ years in financial-crime systems (e.g., transaction monitoring, investigations, case management, KYC/EDD or sanctions screening)
- Working knowledge of AML programme examination by regulators, internal audit, and model validation
- Technical fluency to discuss data flows and system design with engineers
- Track record of shipping internal tools or operational platforms that change how an operations team works
- Clear, concise writing for PRDs, phase plans, audit walkthroughs, and executive updates
- Judgement to push back on unrealistic timelines when requirements aren’t written yet and maintain relationships
- clear and concise writing
- strong stakeholder management
- sound judgement under regulatory scrutiny
- data-flow and system-design expertise
- experience with monitoring/case-management tooling
- ability to reason about ingestion, profiling, suppression, and reconciliation logic
