Sanctions Screening Product Director - Payments - Executive Director

As an Executive Director, you will own and execute the global product strategy for firmwide sanctions screening—aligned to Payments but spanning enterprise screening requirements across multiple asset types and business lines. You will lead a team accountable for defining capabilities, translating customer and stakeholder needs into prioritized roadmaps, and delivering scalable, compliant screening services through close partnership with Technology, Operations, Compliance, Risk, Legal, and the Lines of Business.

This role has oversight responsibility for screening operations performance and outcomes (e.g., service levels, quality, controls, resiliency) while not directly owning day-to-day operations. You will set direction and standards, drive governance and continuous improvement, and ensure the end-to-end screening ecosystem (data, platforms, rules/models, case management, and operating model) is effective, auditable, and fit for purpose.

The role requires strong executive communication, attention to detail, and the ability to operate in a complex, regulated environment—balancing risk coverage, client experience, operational efficiency, and technology delivery.
