Product Manager, Risk Analytics

About Column For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve. At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us! The opportunity Column processes over $2 trillion in annual transaction volume for some of the most sophisticated tech companies and financial institutions in the world. Keeping that volume safe is one of the most consequential jobs in fintech. We're looking for a high-agency product leader to own our risk analytics platform: the internal infrastructure that lets Column grow without creating openings for fraudsters, criminal networks, or state adversaries probing the US financial system. You'll turn a traditionally manual function into a scalable internal product, working directly with our senior leaders to shape how Column monitors, investigates, and governs risk at scale. As we expand into new products and markets, this platform is what makes that growth possible. This role is based in-person at our Presidio office in San Francisco (3-4 days/week).   What you’ll do Own the product roadmap for financial crimes monitoring, analytics, workflow, and governance tooling — turning a traditionally manual and compliance-heavy function into a scalable internal product Productize the transaction monitoring scenario library across products, customer types, geographies, and flow-of-funds models Translate emerging risks, regulatory guidance, internal risk assessments, and observed trends into clear monitoring and tooling requirements; design the full process for rule development, testing, deployment, tuning, and model management Partner with risk teams, engineering, GTM, and business operations to design practical controls before new products or customer activity launch Develop dashboards and analytics that help the team understand risk coverage, alert quality, control performance, investigation outcomes, and operational bottlenecks Lead annual and ongoing risk coverage assessments across customers, products, geographies, and typologies Work closely with our CEO, CCO, and General Counsel to shape adjacent risk workflows — and build toward a customer-facing program management solution over time   What you’ll need to be successful 4+ years in a high agency, fast moving, high intellect role.
