By automating manual human review tasks, we enhance operational efficiency and help financial institutions handle AML reviews, while cutting operational costs by 85%. As Head of Product, you will own and drive the product strategy, delivery and execution of our AI Agent platform. You’ll sit at the intersection of customers, engineering, and commercial teams, ensuring we deliver exceptional customer value today while making the right long-term bets as we scale.
About the Role
As Head of Product, you will
Own the end-to-end product roadmap, balancing near-term customer impact with long-term strategic initiatives. Set and uphold the product bar across the company, ensuring clarity, focus, and measurable outcomes. Partner closely with engineering, research, GTM, and leadership to translate strategy into shipped product.
What You’ll Do
Product Strategy & Roadmap
Define and own the product vision and roadmap, grounded in customer needs, regulatory realities, and Arva’s long-term mission. Make clear trade-offs and prioritisation decisions, backed by data and strong product intuition.
Delivery & Execution
Coordinate and track delivery across teams, including planning, dependencies, milestones, and accountable owners. Ensure product initiatives ship on time, with high quality, and with clear ownership.
Customer Value
Develop a deep understanding of customer workflows in AML, compliance, and risk. Validate problems and solutions through customer discovery, feedback loops, and real-world usage.
Outcomes & Metrics
Define success metrics and hold the organisation accountable to outcomes such as adoption, customer impact, and operational efficiency. Continuously assess what’s working, what isn’t, and raise the bar across the product.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Work hand-in-hand with engineering and AI teams to shape feasible, scalable solutions. Partner with GTM teams to support positioning, launches, and customer-facing narratives.
Our Culture
Relentless Urgency
We move fast and decisively, focusing on delivering real outcomes instead of waiting for perfect conditions.
Excellence in Everything
We hold a high bar in every detail, from product quality to how we communicate and support customers, even when no one is watching. We make an intense effort to learn and expand our knowledge, and redefine what excellence means as we grow.
Proactive Ownership
We take initiative without waiting to be asked, communicate early and clearly, are always curious, and continuously improve what we build and how we work.
Zoom Out, Then In
We know when to be strategic by stepping back to understand the bigger picture, and we know when speed matters to think tactically and execute with focus and follow-through.
Be a Hacker
We know how to be resourceful, creative, and find unconventional ways to get things done. We love to challenge the default, move fast, experiment, and find a way around obstacles rather than accepting them. Whether it's building product, solving customer problems, or closing deals, we are always thinking: there's got to be a smarter, faster way to do this.
What We’re Looking For
Experience
5+ years in product management or product leadership roles, ideally in B2B SaaS or regulated industries.
Product Leadership
Proven experience owning a product roadmap and shipping complex products end to end. Strong judgment around prioritisation, sequencing, and trade-offs.
Customer & Outcome Focus
Deep empathy for users and a track record of delivering measurable customer and business impact.
Execution Excellence
Highly organised, with experience coordinating delivery across multiple teams and stakeholders.
Communication & Collaboration
Clear, concise communicator who can align engineers, executives, and commercial teams around a shared plan.
Ownership
Comfortable taking full responsibility for outcomes, decisions, and results.
