Overview

This fixed-term role is ideal for a product manager passionate about clarifying uncertainty and influencing how organizations manage ethics and compliance in an AI-driven environment.

• Partner daily with engineers to translate business needs into actionable development tasks, balancing speed and scope in a dynamic environment.
• Coordinate across an Ethics & Compliance product suite—including policy management, compliance training, and conflicts of interest—to ensure integration with the overarching product vision.
• Collaborate with product marketing, senior stakeholders, and commercial departments to share product progress and future directions.
• Innovate AI-driven product features, moving beyond backlog management to actively envision how AI can transform compliance processes.
• Quickly assimilate knowledge from the outgoing product manager and engage with a recently modernized platform.

Qualifications and Experience

• Strong technical communication skills enabling detailed discussions with engineering teams about APIs, databases, and integrations, alongside the ability to present strategies to senior leadership.
• Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) and the practical application of AI within products, discerning genuine value from hype.
• Ability to manage ambiguity and fast-paced work environments by proactively structuring processes and taking initiative.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, capable of building trust, balancing competing priorities, and communicating effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• A proactive mindset focusing on shipping, iterating, learning, and avoiding paralysis in pursuit of perfection.

Additional Preferred Skills

• Experience with Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), legal technology, or ethics and compliance software.
• Hands-on use of AI tools for product management, such as prototyping with v0, Claude, or similar accelerators.
• Exposure to working within geographically dispersed engineering teams, particularly between London and Bangalore.
• Background with whistleblowing, case management, or employee reporting platforms.
