Product Manager, Decisioning & Risk (12-month Parental leave cover) in London

It isn’t often you get to be part of a tech company that, since 2016, has been innovating the data analytics market in ways no-one else can. Our technology started out in FinTech, helping tackle serious criminal activity. Now, its potential is virtually limitless. Working at Quantexa isn’t just intellectually stimulating. We’re a real team, collaborating and constantly engineering better solutions. We’re ambitious, we think things through and we’re on a mission to discover just how far we can go. Nearly half of our colleagues come from an ethnic or religious minority background. We’re made up of people from 47 nationalities who speak over 20 languages. As a diverse mix of individuals, we make one big unstoppable team. If our incredible culture sounds like you, we’d love you to join us.

We are seeking a temporary Product Manager, with a proven track record in AI and ML/decisioning methodologies, to join our Solution Product Management team, and lead on the Scoring and Alerting capabilities of our Decision Intelligence Platform, with a particular focus on delivering on the evolution of the decisioning strategy. You will be reporting directly to the Head of Product for Solutions. Unsurprisingly, we’re seeing huge focus on this space from board level, our customers and the wider market, and this is a great opportunity to lead one of the hottest areas in our company, right at the centre of our high-growth unicorn business.

What will I be doing?

• End-to-end ownership of the Scoring and Alerting capability across our platform, including out of the box libraries. We believe in 'full stack product management'. The code is not the product, it’s just part of it.
• You will align the company behind your vision for our Scoring and Alerting capabilities: doing whatever it takes to drive-out uncertainty and get people onboard.
• You will work with other members of Product and the subject matter experts (including data scientists and Industry and Solution experts) in the rest of the company to deeply understand our problem space.
• You’re in charge of setting goals and OKRs as well as initial discovery & research.
• You’ll collaborate with customers, and internal stakeholders such as Sales and account teams, internal SMEs, and engineers to uncover unmet needs and validate your approach and create and deliver a roadmap.
• You will work closely with Product Marketing to articulate the value of the new offerings, create a launch plan and make the biggest impact in the market with your great work.
• Product managers at Quantexa are fully accountable for the value their products deliver. This means you lead adoption, working throughout customer success, sales and delivery teams to move the needle on your goals, and then measure the success in the market through solid KPIs.
• You will know your area of the software inside out, particularly our scoring methodologies and will use this knowledge to support our customers and other areas of the business using the product. The lessons learnt will be a key contribution you make in product discussions.
• We’re a fast-growing team in a fast-growing company. You’ll be mentored by your teammates in Product and our Product Leadership team so you develop as we grow.

What do I need to have?

• At least three years’ experience as a Product Manager in a software company and a track record of success managing complex B2B enterprise products.
• Direct experience in decision modelling, scoring methodologies (e.g., scorecards, rule-based scoring, ML-based scoring), and managing technical products focused on these technologies.
• Experience in complex decisioning processes like Risk, Transaction Monitoring or Fraud is a plus.
• Someone who has led prioritisation and direction of engineering teams; and has experience of developing roadmaps.
• A sound understanding of end-to-end product inception, development and release processes; strong product thinking.
• Customer-facing experience in translating problems into requirements and capability in-line with product strategy.
• A smart, self-motivated and pragmatic person who is happy to take initiative and run complex projects in a highly dynamic environment.
• An excellent team worker with the desire and ability to think independently.
• Someone who challenges the status quo, and can stand up to more senior colleagues.

An ideal candidate would also have one or more of the following:

• Enterprise software product management experience.
• Domain knowledge in one of our solution domains: Fincrime & AML / KYC / Data management / Customer intelligence / Risk.
• Experience in start-ups/scale-ups.
