Product Manager – Credit Risk & Fraud
If you love solving complex problems, working with data, and building products that actually make a measurable impact – this one’s for you.
A rapidly growing fintech business is looking for a Product Manager to lead their Credit Risk & Fraud space. You’ll sit right in the middle of product, data, engineering, risk, and operations – helping shape how the business makes smarter lending decisions, detects fraud faster, and protects customers at scale.
This is not a “keep the lights on” type of role. It’s fast-moving, highly collaborative, and packed with interesting challenges where your work genuinely influences customer experience, business growth, and risk outcomes.
What you’ll get stuck into
- Owning the roadmap across credit risk, fraud, and automated decisioning
- Improving fraud detection, approval rates, and customer onboarding journeys
- Working closely with Data Science and Engineering teams to build scalable, smart solutions
- Identifying trends, solving bottlenecks, and using data to guide product decisions
- Collaborating with stakeholders across risk, compliance, operations, and commercial teams
- Launching impactful product improvements and continuously optimising performance
What they’re looking for
- Around 5+ years’ Product Management experience
- Experience in fintech, lending, payments, fraud, banking, or other data-heavy environments
- Someone analytical, curious, and commercially minded
- Comfortable working with technical teams, APIs, integrations, and data-driven products
- A Product Manager who enjoys balancing customer experience with smart risk decisions
- Bonus points if you’ve worked with fraud tooling, decisioning engines, or machine learning products
Why this role is exciting
- You’ll work on products that directly influence business performance and customer trust
- Strong product culture with close collaboration across teams
- Opportunity to work on meaningful fintech challenges at scale
- Lots of ownership, autonomy, and room to shape strategy
- A genuinely smart team solving interesting real-world problems every day
Perfect for a Product Manager who enjoys solving puzzles, loves working with data, and wants to build products that matter.
