Employment Type : Full-Time.

Role Overview :

We are seeking an experienced Product Lead - Fraud & Claims to lead the design and delivery of innovative products and solutions across Fraud and Claims operations.

This role requires a strong product mindset with the ability to design products and solutions from business objectives rather than simply gathering requirements.

The Product Lead will translate investigator expertise, operational procedures, industry knowledge, and business goals into scalable product experiences, intelligent workflows, and agentic solutions.

The ideal candidate will work closely with Fraud & Claims Operations, Engineering, Data Science, Architecture, and Product teams to design, prototype, validate, and deliver solutions that improve investigator productivity, accelerate decision-making, reduce fraud losses, and enhance claims outcomes.

The role requires a strong understanding of AI-driven decisioning, agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop models, explainability, governance, and regulatory requirements, particularly within financial services or other highly regulated environments.

Key Responsibilities :

Product Vision & Solution Design :

- Define and drive the product vision, strategy, workflows, and solution design for Fraud and Claims products.

- Start with business objectives, investigator expertise, operating procedures, and industry best practices to develop the initial product solution.

iv. Deterministic decisioning.

v. Reasoning models.

vi. Orchestration.

vii. Investigator experiences.

viii. Human-in-the-loop interactions.

ix. AI and human collaboration models.

- Design solutions that balance automation, accuracy, explainability, human oversight, security, and regulatory compliance.

- Determine when decisions should be driven by deterministic business rules versus AI/ML or agentic capabilities.

- Define appropriate human escalation and approval mechanisms for high-risk or complex scenarios.

- Collaborate with architects and engineering teams to ensure designs are technically feasible, scalable, secure, and production-ready.

Agentic AI & Intelligent Workflow Design :

- Design and operationalize AI agents and agentic workflows for Fraud and Claims operations.

- Define agent responsibilities, behaviors, decision points, escalation paths, and interaction models.

- Translate investigator knowledge and business processes into structured agent behaviors.

- Design orchestration models that enable multiple AI capabilities, systems, and human investigators to work together effectively.

- Establish appropriate human oversight mechanisms for AI-generated recommendations and decisions.

- Ensure AI-driven workflows are explainable, auditable, and aligned with enterprise risk and compliance requirements.

- Continuously evaluate opportunities to enhance investigator productivity through AI-assisted decision support and automation.

Fraud & Claims Product Development :

- Work closely with Fraud and Claims operations teams to understand investigator workflows, operational challenges, and decision-making processes.

- Convert investigator expertise into scalable product capabilities and reusable decision patterns.

Hands-On Design Through Execution :

- Remain actively involved throughout implementation rather than treating product design as a one-time conceptual exercise.

- Work directly with engineering and data science teams to prototype and validate proposed solutions.

- Conduct iterative design sessions with Fraud and Claims operations.

- Analyze implementation feedback and operational results to refine workflows and product capabilities.

- Validate that delivered functionality matches the intended investigator experience and business objectives.
