To achieve this objective, we have built a trusted payment infrastructure that allows consumers and businesses (African and International) make and receive payments in a convenient borderless manner.

The Role

Flutterwave is seeking a visionary Product Manager (Risk & Compliance) to bridge the gap between regulatory necessity and seamless user experience. You won't just be checking boxes; you will be the architect of our "Trust Layer." You will design and scale the automated systems from advanced KYC/KYB to real-time transaction monitoring that protect our ecosystem and enable Flutterwave to launch confidently into new global markets.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Risk Roadmap: Define and execute a product vision that balances aggressive growth with robust risk mitigation. Transform regulatory requirements into scalable technical features.

Automated Compliance Infrastructure: Lead the development of automated platforms across KYC, KYB, AML, and Sanctions screening workflows & processes to reduce merchant onboarding friction without increasing risk exposure.

Fraud & Transaction Monitoring: Partner with Data Science and Ecosystem risk to refine real-time fraud detection engines and transaction monitoring capabilities.

Regulatory Subject Matter Expertise: Act as the bridge between compliance teams and broader Product & Engineering. Translate complex multi-jurisdictional mandates into actionable technical specifications.

Performance Optimization: Obsess over "False Positive" rates and onboarding drop-offs. Use data to streamline compliance checks, ensuring a "friction less " experience for legitimate users.

Required Competency & Skillset

The Experience: 7+ years of Product Management experience in FinTech or Payments, specifically focused on Risk, Fraud, or Compliance.

Technical Literacy: Deep understanding of API-driven architectures. You should be comfortable discussing how webhooks, payloads, and third-party integrations impact system latency.

Commercial Acumen: Ability to manage "Compliance as a Cost Center" by optimizing provider spend and improving operational efficiency.

Domain Depth: Expert-level knowledge of KYC/AML frameworks, PCI-DSS, and transaction monitoring logic.
