VP of Product
VP of Product - B2B Fraud Systems - 50 Million Active User Base
The Opportunity
We are searching for a "Big title, small ego" product craftsperson to join a high-performance, incubated venture team currently operating in "tented" stealth mode. Backed by a global financial leader, this team is bypassing traditional bureaucracy to build at startup speed on a next-generation cloud infrastructure.
They're building a comprehensive B2B "Bank-in-a-Box" platform that will empower massive financial institutions to launch global capabilities at scale. This is a rare, greenfield opportunity offering the autonomy of a founder with the global impact of a Tier-1 firm.
The Mission
We aren't looking for a traditional fraud analyst to define behaviour patterns. We are looking for a system builder. As an Executive Director, you will act as a senior individual contributor owning the evolution of a real-time decisioning system. Your job is to architect the core platforms, rules engines, and machine learning models that the experts will eventually use.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- 0-1 Delivery: Lead the strategy for a greenfield, AI-centric decisioning platform from initial concept to a hardened, global state.
- Architecting the "brain": Build real-time systems that detect, enrich, and action events at a systemic level.
- Hands-on Craft: This is a senior operator role. You’ll be in the weeds with elite engineering teams, defining APIs and architecting data platforms.
- Clarity of Thought: They value written commentary as a proxy for thought. You will communicate complex product logic through exceptionally clear and concise documentation.
What We’re Looking For:
- 0-to-1 B2B DNA: Extensive, recent experience successfully shipping complex B2B products or infrastructure-heavy platforms from scratch.
- Technical Depth: Proven experience building the underlying data infrastructure or ML model platforms required for real-time risk.
- The Operator Archetype: A first-principles thinker who can break down complex forensic problems with imagination and technical clarity.
- Seniority Without the Bureaucracy: You have the seniority of an ED/VP but prefer the craft of product execution over managing large reporting lines.
Why Join?
You aren't just building a feature; you are building an intelligent system that will drive systemic change for millions of users worldwide. This is a seat for a leader who lives for the craft and wants to work in a high-intensity, co-located incubator.
Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive Base: Up to £180,000 base salary + benefits
- Location: London, UK (Incubated Accelerator).
- Work Model: 5 days a week on-site. (Operating as an incubated, co-located accelerator to bypass traditional corporate red tape and maintain startup speed).
Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to take a high-leverage seat at a pivotal stage of the project's journey. You aren't just building a feature; you are building an intelligent system that will drive systemic change and material impact for clients worldwide.
We believe that great products are built by teams as diverse as the communities they serve. If you are a product visionary who thrives on solving hard problems from first principles but don't feel you meet every single point listed, we still want to hear from you.
