Head of Compliance Product

As Head of Compliance Product at Elliptic, you will lead the product managers responsible for the compliance portfolio that forms the commercial core of the company. You will define what these products become as AI reshapes how compliance work gets done, working with design partners to build agentic compliance capabilities that make compliance teams dramatically more efficient while keeping every automated decision auditable and explainable. This is a player-coach role reporting to the VP of Product, where you will 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, defining what these products become as AI reshapes how compliance work gets done
• Lead product for the agentic compliance programme, building 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, hiring well, developing people deliberately, and setting 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, converting ambiguous market signal into a clear view of what to build and why
• Prioritise ruthlessly, 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 by owning outcomes rather than shipping dates, using AI across your workflow 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 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, such as 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, breaking complex problems into shippable steps, sweating the details that determine quality, and reliably carrying 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, looking for the repeatable system behind every one-off fix and building leverage so each problem solved makes the whole team permanently faster
• A data-informed operating style, instrumenting what you ship, arguing from evidence, and changing your mind when the data disagrees
• Judgement under ambiguity, knowing which decisions to make fast and which to hold open when precedent does not exist
• Comfort in regulated, high-stakes environments, treating trust, explainability and defensibility as features and operating well at the tension point between innovation and regulatory reality
• Restlessness about velocity and quality, treating assumptions about how long things take as claims to be tested

Nice to have

• Deep blockchain analytics experience
