Group Financial Crime & Compliance Product Manager

About us:

We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins.

Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.

We’re building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.

Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital. 

We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. With the backing of these leading investors, we’re accelerating our growth – and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the future of financial services.

We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.

About this role in the team:

We're looking for an experienced Group Product Manager, Financial Crime to lead our FinCrime product portfolio and set the strategic direction for this critical domain.

You will influence executives, align with Compliance, Legal, and Operations, and partner closely with Engineering to ensure we deliver robust, compliant, and innovative solutions against evolving threats like money laundering, fraud, and sanctions evasion. 

You will act as the key liaison between the business and our engineering teams, translating complex financial crime requirements into clear, actionable requirements. You will manage the overall portfolio and backlog, prioritise tech debt, and champion new features and innovation that directly enhance our ability to detect and prevent illicit financial activity across multiple product lines.
