Technical Product Manager
Senior Technical Product Manager
SmartSearch’s distinctive Anti-Money Laundering verification software protects our clients by offering the most advanced and comprehensive features available from an AML provider.
SmartSearch has grown rapidly by fostering an incredibly collaborative and supportive culture. As we continue our ambitious growth plans, we will strive to remain a truly exciting, rewarding, and unique place to work.
How Will You Make a Difference?
We are seeking an experienced Technical Product Manager to lead overarching technology initiatives, including integration, API interoperability, internal technical services, and tooling.
This role is focused on technical product delivery rather than direct customer-facing products, working closely with engineering, architecture, compliance, and operations teams to deliver scalable internal systems, APIs, workflows, and operational tools. Stakeholders will include a blend of internal technical teams and wider business teams, so the ability to elicit requirements from varied audiences and translate them into clear technical user stories, delivery plans, and priorities is essential.
You will own delivery across key technical workstreams, managing priorities, requirements, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment to support scalable technology outcomes and strategic partnerships.
The ideal candidate will have experience delivering complex technical integrations, managing backend or platform products, and operating within Agile software environments. Experience within AML, RegTech, or financial services is highly desirable.
Varied Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Technical Product Delivery
- Lead product management activities across overarching technology initiatives, including integration, API interoperability, AI customer support, and strategic partnerships.
- Define and manage roadmaps for technical initiatives and cross-platform delivery.
- Translate business and operational requirements into technical user stories and delivery plans.
- Work closely with engineering and architecture teams on APIs, workflows, and service design.
- Manage dependencies, priorities, risks, and delivery across multiple technical workstreams in a fast-moving environment where priorities may change.
