Recognized as Fintech of the Year for two consecutive years and awarded Best Specialist Technology Service at the Professional Adviser Awards 2025, we are backed by leading investors and supported by major financial institutions as we scale rapidly amid accelerating AI adoption in financial services. Our platform enables some of the UK’s largest financial institutions to deploy AI safely in FCA-regulated environments, powering everything from compliance monitoring to AI-driven adviser guidance. We are seeking a Product Manager – Assurance to play a central role in Aveni’s Assurance portfolio: products that help financial services firms govern, test, and assure AI agents and human interactions across the customer journey. This role is primarily focused on Agent Approve, Aveni’s pre-deployment simulation and testing product, with additional responsibility for Detect, our post-interaction compliance assessment product.

You will own the product from discovery through commercial readiness, helping define Aveni’s position in an emerging market. This is a hands-on, high-ownership product role. You will collaborate closely with the Head of Assurance Products on strategy and roadmap direction while independently driving discovery, prioritisation, delivery, and go-to-market readiness. You will work with engineering, design, customer success, marketing, and commercial teams to turn complex customer and regulatory problems into clear, valuable, and shippable product outcomes. You are well suited to this role if you enjoy operating in ambiguity, can bring structure to complex problem spaces, and possess the judgement to prioritize effectively, distinguishing what matters, what can wait, and what needs validation before building.

Experience with AI-powered products, analytics, or model-driven tooling; familiarity with FCA regulatory frameworks, Consumer Duty, or conduct risk. Exposure to pre-deployment testing, quality assurance, or compliance workflows. Experience writing compelling product narratives for commercial or go-to-market purposes, especially relevant for the growth-stage nature of Agent Approve. You will work on complex and meaningful challenges at the intersection of AI, regulation, and financial services. You will help shape a product category that is growing in importance as financial institutions move from experimenting with AI to deploying it safely, responsibly, and at scale. You will have real ownership, visibility, and the opportunity to influence both product direction and market positioning during a pivotal stage of Aveni’s growth.
