Product Lead, Transparency (Compliance, Risk and Reporting)

Technical Skills:

• Own the Transparency strategy and roadmap end to end, balancing platform investment with regulated-product delivery commitments.
• Drive prioritization across four squads:
• Onboarding & Monitoring: modular onboarding flows and APIs, KYC review tools, questionnaire framework, customer risk rating and monitoring
• Transaction Risk Management: travel rule, deposit attribution and trusted sources, sanctions and screening integrations, account restriction framework
• Billing & Revenue: pricing and CPQ workflows, billing engine and invoicing, NetSuite integrations and auto-pay, tax reporting and tax center
• Data Platform: reporting and statementing, customer intelligence framework, lifecycle signals (dormancy and attrition), automation of compliance and lifecycle operations
• Define and ship the API contract and integration model for Transparency so that other product teams (Custody, Trading, Banking, Wealth, ADGS, Atlas, Protocols) can consume Transparency services as a platform rather than as bespoke per-product builds.
• Build deep working understanding of system architecture across compliance tooling, ledger and account models, screening providers, and case management to set clear engineering requirements.
• Drive go-to-market and adoption metrics for Transparency as an internal platform: time to onboard a new client segment, time to integrate a new product, manual ops hours per case, billing accuracy and revenue leakage, regulatory audit readiness.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Lead and influence cross-functional teams across Product, Engineering, Design, Compliance, Legal, Security, Operations, Finance, and Sales, aligning priorities and decision-making across competing goals.
• Drive consistent outcomes across multiple jurisdictions and regulated entities, balancing local requirements with a coherent global platform strategy.
• Own KPI acceleration through product execution: faster onboarding and activation, reduced manual operations cost per case, and increased shipping speed for new products and client segments.
• Make high-judgment trade-offs where regulatory, operational, security, and product constraints are tightly coupled, while maintaining audit readiness and clear accountability for end-to-end delivery.

Organizational Knowledge:

• Deliver company objectives through strategic product decisions that unlock new client segments and product lines while strengthening Anchorage's regulatory moat, grounded in a deep partnership with Compliance and Operations.
• Build and maintain a high-trust relationship with Compliance and Operations leaders by aligning early on risk posture, controls, and operational realities, and by delivering with predictable execution.
• Actively contribute to organizational strategy by shaping how Transparency capabilities (compliance, billing, customer intelligence) become differentiators for Anchorage.
• Define and evolve the Transparency org design, squad structure, and ways of working so that the team scales with Anchorage's growth.

Communication and Influence:

• Act as the single point of contact for Transparency across the company: route incoming requests, set expectations on engagement model, and partner with other product leads on shared roadmaps.
• Mediate between Compliance and product/engineering teams, helping Compliance get comfortable with iterative approaches and helping product teams take Compliance requirements seriously.
• Effectively influence and motivate across all levels of the organization, from co-founders and Head of Compliance to individual engineers and operators.
• Serve as an internal evangelist for the Transparency platform, presenting roadmap, strategy, and outcomes to leadership, partner teams, and external clients and regulators when needed.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• 8+ years of product management experience, including significant time leading PMs and shipping compliance, financial crimes, payments, or banking infrastructure products at a regulated financial institution, exchange, or fintech
• People management experience leading and growing a team of senior PMs across multiple squads or workstreams
• Deep financial crimes / compliance product expertise: you have personally shipped or owned KYC/KYB, AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, case management, customer risk rating, or travel rule products, and you understand how each of these is operated by Compliance day to day
• Platform product experience: you have built internal platforms or external API products and understand how to design service contracts, integration models, SLAs, and adoption motions for internal customers
• Experience with multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction regulated businesses (e.g. national bank, broker-dealer, money transmitter, MAS, EU regimes) and the interplay between product velocity and regulatory obligations
• Strong technical fluency: you can go deep on data models, APIs, system architecture, and event-driven workflows, and you earn credibility with engineering teams
• Cross-functional leadership at scale: you have driven outcomes across Product, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Security, and Operations, and you are comfortable being the single accountable senior product voice in the room.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if you have:

• Led a compliance product org at a crypto exchange, custodian, or digital asset bank
• Built or led a banking-as-a-service, custody-as-a-service, or payments-as-a-service compliance/transparency layer
• Direct experience with crypto-specific compliance challenges: on-chain analytics, deposit attribution, smart contract counterparty risk, DeFi interactions from a regulated entity, and travel rule for crypto
• Led a billing, revenue, or data platform inside a multi-product company.
• A background in engineering, equipping you with the acumen to effectively collaborate with technical teams
• Worked closely with regulators (OCC, NYDFS, MAS, EU) on novel product designs
