Product Manager - Frontend & Design

<p><strong>Role Summary</strong></p> <p>As the Product Manager for Frontend and Design Platform, you sit at the intersection of UX excellence and systems engineering. You don’t just care that a button looks good; you care that the button is a robust, accessible, and reusable component that enables 50+ developers across 10+ different internal apps to build consistent experiences at speed.</p> <p>In this role, you will own the ComplyAdvantage Frontend and Design (Platform). You’ll be responsible for the "Lego bricks" of our platform, ensuring that whether a developer is building a high-stakes investigation dashboard or a simple settings page, the UI is intuitive, invisible, and efficient. Your work directly empowers our product squads to ship high-quality features faster, while ensuring our users - financial crime analysts - can do their jobs with total trust and zero friction.</p> <p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Own the Frontend Platform Roadmap:</strong> Define the strategy for our UI component library and frontend patterns, transitioning from "building pages" to "building systems."</li> <li><strong>Champion Efficiency &amp; Trust:</strong> In the world of B2B compliance, "delight" means speed and accuracy. You will optimize our frontend infrastructure for analyst efficiency rather than flashy B2C animations.</li> <li><strong>Drive Deep User Discovery:</strong> Regularly sit with internal and external users (analysts and compliance officers) to observe workflows and identify where UI friction hinders financial crime detection.</li> <li><strong>Scale Developer Velocity:</strong> Define and monitor metrics for component adoption and developer experience (DevEx), ensuring our frontend platform reduces "time-to-market" for feature teams.</li> <li><strong>Bridge Design and Engineering:</strong> Lead your squad in translating Figma prototypes into production-ready, accessible, and themeable React components (or equivalent).</li> <li><strong>Systemic Prioritization</strong>: Balance the immediate needs of "Flagship" product squads with the long-term health and coherence of the global design system.</li> <li><strong>Responsible for coordinating the design pipeline with Product PRD requirements and processes, </strong>ensuring design work is aligned with PRD needs.</li> <li><strong>Drive the evolution of the overall UI and UX</strong> to meet the changing needs of our Clients in the advent of AI co-pilots and agents.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p><strong>Required Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>4+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 1–2 years focused on Design Systems, Frontend Platforms, or Internal Developer Tools.</li> <li>B2B Experience is Essential: A proven track record of building complex, data-heavy interfaces where utility and trust are the primary goals.</li> <li>Systems Thinking: Demonstrated experience with Atomic Design principles and managing shared component libraries.</li> <li>Discovery Mastery: Expert in using tools like Pendo, Hotjar, or Figma to conduct research and validate frontend hypotheses.</li> <li>Technical Fluency: Ability to discuss APIs, CSS architecture, and frontend performance trade-offs with senior engineers.</li> <li>Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, HCI, or Design).</li> </ul> <p><strong>About You</strong></p> <ul> <li>The "Lego" Builder: You think in components, not templates. You get excited about the scalability of a "Text Input" that will be used for the next five years.</li> <li>The Empathetic Observer: You enjoy the "detective work" of watching a user struggle with a workflow and finding the systemic UI fix that solves it for everyone.</li> <li>B2B over B2C: You understand that our users are professionals doing a high-stakes job. You prefer "invisible" UI that helps them find criminals over "viral" UI features.</li> <li>The Bridge: You can speak the language of a UI Designer on Monday and a Frontend Engineer on Tuesday, acting as the glue between aesthetic vision and technical reality.</li> <li>Outcome-Driven: You value adoption rates and "time-to-ship" metrics just as much as pixel-perfect execution.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What Success Looks Like</strong></p> <ul> <li>In 90 days: You’ve audited our existing component library, established a feedback loop with the Design and Engineering chapters, and identified the top three friction points in our current frontend workflow.</li> <li>In 6 months: You have delivered a core set of standardized components adopted by at least three major product squads, significantly reducing their frontend development time.</li> <li>In 12 months: The ComplyAdvantage Design System is the "source of truth" for all UI. You’ve established a clear contribution model where other teams can add to the system, and you are recognized as the guardian of our platform’s visual and functional consistency.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What’s in it for you?</strong></p> <ul> <li>Equity as we want you to have a part of what we are building.&nbsp;</li> <li>Unlimited Time Off Policy. A work-life balance and focus on our well-being are critical to keeping us performing at our best.&nbsp;</li> <li>We embrace a hybrid approach that requires employees to be in the office for two days a week. We strongly believe that this approach fosters collaboration and enables the building of meaningful relationships.</li> <li>​​Comprehensive Medical Insurance<strong>.</strong> Your health is our priority; we’ve got you covered.</li> <li>You will also get a new starter budget to kit out your home office.&nbsp;</li> <li>Opportunity to work on innovative projects with smart-minded people keen to share their knowledge and continuously improve.&nbsp;</li> <li>Annual learning budget (prorated based on start date) to drive your performance and career development.&nbsp;</li> <li>We provide everyone with the latest modern laptops and tech stacks to ensure you’re never slowed down by your tools.</li> </ul> <p><em>The base salary range for this role is 44,000-66,000 EUR + equity and benefits.
