Role

Who you are

  • We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager who’s ready to join the team driving it onwards and upwards
  • Someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, champions the customer, and delivers razor-sharp execution
  • If you’re part strategist, part builder, and part data-obsessed product champion—we want to meet you
  • Proven ability to lead the full product lifecycle—from discovery to launch to iteration—delivering real value to users and the business
  • Experience owning complex digital products, ideally in SaaS, security, fintech, or compliance-heavy spaces
  • Deep understanding of Identity Verification (IDV) systems, including KYC/AML, fraud prevention techniques, and regulatory frameworks
  • Comfortable working with technical teams and technologies like OCR, biometric authentication, liveness detection, and secure APIs
  • Innovative mindset bringing AI-driven features to life and championing a culture of experimentation, iteration, and continuous improvement
  • Strong product intuition backed by a data-driven mindset—you know when to trust the numbers and when to trust your gut
  • Ability to turn customer insights and market research into clear roadmaps and impactful product features
  • Skilled communicator who can align stakeholders, rally teams, and translate complexity into clarity
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, legal, and customer success
  • Track record of shipping scalable, customer-loved solutions in fast-paced or growth-stage environments

Desirable

  • Experience in regulated markets or working with government frameworks
  • Background in B2B SaaS, enterprise products, or security/fintech tools
  • Familiarity with Agile, Jira, and other product collaboration tools
  • Certifications in product management (Pragmatic, AIPMM, etc.)
  • Experience working with remote, global teams

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to take ownership of our Identity Verification (IDV) products—one of the most mission-critical areas of our platform
  • You’ll lead product strategy and development, transforming how we help users prove who they are in a fast, secure, and compliant way across global markets
  • This is a hands-on, high-impact role where innovation, collaboration, and velocity are the name of the game
  • Craft and evolve a product roadmap that aligns with business goals and solves real customer problems
  • Identify new opportunities, market trends, and compliance shifts to keep us ahead of the curve
  • Dive deep into user needs, market feedback, and regulatory requirements to design elegant, scalable solutions
  • Work closely with global stakeholders and power users to refine strategy and define the “what” and the “why.”
  • Write crystal-clear user stories, define MVPs, and work alongside engineering to ship fast and smart
  • Prioritize ruthlessly using data, ROI, cost of delay, and a sprinkle of intuition
  • Optimize for performance, usability, and fraud prevention without sacrificing customer experience
  • Leveraging AI and emerging technologies to solve complex problems, improve customer experiences, and deliver scalable solutions
  • Define, track, and report on key success metrics—measure what matters, iterate relentlessly
  • Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to ensure smooth rollouts and adoption
  • Own the entire product lifecycle: concept → build → launch → learn → iterate
  • Partner across engineering, design, legal, and more to deliver high-impact outcomes
  • Translate complexity into clarity—both internally and externally
  • Mentor up-and-coming product managers and help shape our product culture

Our take

Certn’s platform allows people to gain fast access to background checks, from criminal records through to motor vehicle records and even credit checks. Its software allows recruiters to save time and money in the hiring process, as the standard 3-4 days for completing background checks is reduced to hours.

Currently, the solution is used by over 2,800 enterprises, including leading employers, staffing firms and property management companies. However, it is not the only player using AI to conduct background checks; Checkr, GoodHire, and HireRight are some of the leading companies that are solving this years-old problem in different parts of the world, and Certn will have to work hard to stand out in this crowded space.

The company looks poised for a period of rapid international expansion over the next few years, thanks to considerable funding amounting to $115 million in 2023 and the acquisition of UK-based background check provider Credence and Australian Intercheck. It also astutely hired CTO Susan Davis (ex-VP of Engineering at Dessa and Xtiva Financial Systems) in 2021.
