* Strong knowledge of end‑to‑end product lifecycle (onboarding → in‑life → exit) and how regulatory obligations manifest operationally within journeys
* Interpreting granular MI/KRIs segmented by product and geography (e.g., eligibility breaches, exceptions, exit delays, complaints signals)
* Translating jurisdiction‑level risk appetite into embedded product rules, journeys and decisioning
* Assessing where product design or operational delivery diverges from regulatory requirements (e.g., inconsistent eligibility checks, weak exit handling, poor exception governance)
Some other highly valued skills may include:
* Assessing how regulatory/geopolitical changes impact specific products and customer segments and rapidly updating controls, journeys and MI accordingly
* Leading and driving product owners / L1 teams to attest to regulatory adherence, backed by MI and control evidence at product/journey level
* Interpreting thematic issues across products (exceptions, complaints, breaches) to identify systemic regulatory weaknesses and inform product/control redesign
* Influencing stakeholders to ensure product design decisions remain compliant across jurisdictions, especially when commercial objectives conflict with regulatory requirements
