Job Overview
We are seeking a seasoned professional to fill the role of Senior Product Owner. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to take ownership of our Transaction Monitoring solution and drive its success.
About Us:
Fenergo is committed to delivering innovative AI-powered client lifecycle management solutions that help financial institutions combat financial crime.
Our team works closely with engineering, data science, customers, product managers, and client solutions to deliver mission-critical capabilities such as detection engines, AI models, case management UX, audit, and reporting.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Decompose high-level features and requirements into user stories, acceptance criteria, and backlog prioritization.
2. Collaborate with engineering, data science, and solutions teams to deliver real-time and batch TM features (detection analytics, alert scoring, case creation, feedback loops).
3. Drive backlog grooming, sprint planning, and manage priorities and dependencies across multiple engineering pods.
4. Participate in design reviews, technical estimation, and ensure non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, security, auditability) are scoped.
5. Support calibration, back-testing, model assessment, threshold tuning, and monitoring of false positives/recall to improve true-positive detection.
6. Ensure explainability, reason codes, lineage, and transparency across the TM solution, including detection analytics and risk scoring modules.
7. Define test cases, regression test suites, and oversee UAT and release validation.
8. Monitor key metrics (alert volumes, false positives, investigator throughput, conversion rates) and iterate to optimize performance.
9. Manage dependencies with external systems (watchlists, screening, sanctions feeds, data enrichment, client data ingestion).
10. Create or update product documentation, user guides, runbooks, and support internal teams (sales, services, support).
11. Stay current on AML regulations, typologies, and market trends.

* Experience with regulated, mission-critical workflows that demand auditability, traceability, and security.
* Familiarity with data processing and analytics pipelines, feature engineering, model scoring, and streaming vs batch.
* Comfortable crafting user stories, acceptance criteria, and working in Agile/Scrum environments.
* Strong stakeholder management skills to mediate between compliance, operations, engineering, and clients.
* Excellent written and verbal communication; able to explain technical and domain complexity to business and technical audiences.
* Analytical mindset with data-driven decision making and outcome measurement.
* Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or equivalent; or extensive domain experience.
