ABOUT THE ROLEPliant is hiring a Head of Product, Growth (m/f/d) to lead one of its most strategic product areas: driving customer acquisition and scalable onboarding through compliance and credit experiences. This role oversees two high-impact domains: Compliance Onboarding (KYC, KYB, AML checks, sanctions screening, and ongoing compliance monitoring) and Credit Infrastructure (credit application flows, credit bureau integrations, limit management, internal underwriting tooling, and portfolio monitoring). You will directly manage and develop Product Managers in these domains, report to the CPO, and collaborate closely with Engineering, Compliance, Risk, Data, Sales, and Operations. The role is both strategic and hands-on: beyond leading people and defining direction, you will step in where needed, whether filling a PM absence, supporting roadmap delivery, or helping clarify a complex API specification.

- Lead and grow a team of PMs responsible for compliance and credit products, including roadmap, execution, and delivery.
- Drive cross-functional initiatives involving Compliance, Risk, Engineering, Operations, and GTM teams.
- Translate complex regulatory and credit requirements into intuitive user experiences, scalable tooling, and automation logic.
- Oversee integrations with third-party services such as KYC/KYB/AML providers and credit bureaus.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING- 8+ years of product management experience, with 3+ years in a leadership role managing PMs.
- Strong track record in B2B fintech, ideally in credit decisioning, onboarding flows, or regulatory compliance.
- Experience designing and scaling products that involve KYC/KYB, AML, or credit risk workflows.
