Head of Compliance Product

As Head of Compliance Product at Elliptic, you lead the product managers responsible for our core compliance portfolio and drive the product side of our agentic compliance programme. You own the vision, strategy and roadmap for wallet and transaction screening, continuous monitoring, on-chain investigations and risk configuration as AI reshapes how compliance work gets done. This is a player-coach role reporting to the VP of Product, where you lead and grow a team of product managers while personally owning some of the hardest problems on the roadmap.

What you'll do

• Own the vision, strategy and roadmap for Elliptic's compliance portfolio, and define what these products become as AI reshapes how compliance work gets done
• Lead product for our agentic compliance programme: AI capabilities that make compliance work faster and better, with auditability and explainability designed in from the start
• Lead, coach and grow a team of product managers; hire well, develop people deliberately, and set the standard for how a modern, AI-augmented PM works
• Stay obsessively close to customers through design partnerships, analyst shadowing, product instrumentation, and internal dogfooding to convert ambiguous market signal into a clear view of what to build and why
• Prioritise ruthlessly by sequencing zero-to-one bets against the needs of products customers depend on today, and say yes or no credibly with reasoning people can engage with
• Execute with rigour, raising velocity and quality together; own outcomes not shipping dates, and use AI across your workflow and your team's to learn faster and ship better in a domain where mistakes carry real consequences

What you bring

• 10+ years building software products, including leading and developing product managers, with people who are better because they worked with you
• A genuine zero-to-one track record: an ambiguous problem in a complex domain, taken from nothing to a product real users depend on
• Depth in financial crime compliance from the product side (transaction monitoring, screening, KYC/EDD or investigations), built inside an exchange, a bank, a fintech or a compliance technology company
• Working knowledge of crypto and blockchain as a baseline
• AI-native approach: AI is embedded in how you work and build every day, you have shipped AI or agentic capabilities to production, and you raise the AI capability of teams around you
• Deep executional rigour: you break complex problems into shippable steps, sweat the details that determine quality, and reliably carry work over the line
• High self-sufficiency: you find high-value opportunities no one assigned you, create clarity rather than wait for it, and are comfortable owning a broad remit while the map is still being drawn
• Continuous systems thinking: you look for the repeatable system behind every one-off fix, building leverage so each problem solved makes the whole team permanently faster
• A data-informed operating style: you instrument what you ship, argue from evidence, and change your mind when the data disagrees
• Judgement under ambiguity: you know which decisions to make fast and which to hold open when precedent does not exist
• Comfort in regulated, high-stakes environments: you treat trust, explainability and defensibility as features, and operate well at the tension point between innovation and regulatory reality
• Restlessness about velocity and quality: you treat "that's just how long it takes" as a claim to be tested

Nice to have

• Deep blockchain analytics experience
