About the role

WHO WE ARE Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Ncontracts leads the industry in integrated risk management and compliance solutions, serving over 5,000 financial institutions nationwide. As an eight-time Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies honoree and consistent year-over-year recipient of "Best Places to Work" awards, we offer a thriving, work environment where career growth and life-work balance go hand in hand. At Ncontracts, you'll join a team of industry experts dedicated to strengthening the financial services sector through innovation and thought leadership. We're seeking creative, collaborative, and self-driven professionals across all areas of our business - from developing cutting-edge solutions to sales, marketing, customer support, and beyond. Join us in our mission to make the financial industry stronger and more resilient, while advancing your career in a supportive, dynamic environment that values your unique skills and perspectives. THE ROLE We're seeking a Senior Product Manager to own one of the most forward-looking areas of Ncontracts' product portfolio: the vendor discovery, marketplace, and data partner signal layer that powers risk intelligence across our AI-native GRC platform. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who brings strong product fundamentals, a data-driven mindset, and genuine excitement about building at the intersection of AI, third-party risk, and real-time data. You'll define how financial institutions discover and evaluate new vendors, how our marketplace model surfaces and ranks trusted partners, and how data partner integrations feed a near real-time risk signal layer that makes our platform smarter over time. This is greenfield territory: you'll be building category-defining experiences from the ground up, not inheriting a mature backlog. You'll work closely with a talented, collaborative product team and be expected to contribute beyond your immediate ownership — pairing with peers on horizontal capabilities, engaging directly with customers, and helping raise the overall quality of product thinking on the team. Equally important: you're AI-forward. You actively use and experiment with AI-powered tools — Claude Code, Replit, Devin, Cursor, and whatever comes next — and you bring genuine curiosity about how these tools change what's possible for a product manager and the products you build. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Core Product Responsibilities - Vendor Discovery — Own the end-to-end experience for how users search, browse, and evaluate vendors within the platform. Define the discovery model, directory structure, and browse experience that helps compliance teams find the right vendors faster. - Marketplace — Build and evolve the marketplace model, including vendor scoring, ranking algorithms, and the onboarding experience for vendors entering the ecosystem. Think carefully about the incentive structures and trust signals that make a marketplace work. - Data Partner Integrations — Own the product strategy and execution for integrations with third-party data providers across the risk intelligence ecosystem. Define how external signals are ingested, normalized, and surfaced to users in ways that drive decisions. - Partner Consolidation Strategy — Lead the evaluation and go-deep strategy for data partner consolidation, helping Ncontracts determine which partnerships to deepen, which to rationalize, and how to communicate that to customers. - Real-Time Risk Signal Layer — Define and drive the architecture of a near real-time signal layer that surfaces vendor drift and emerging risk to users proactively — a foundational capability for the platform's AI ambitions. - Cross-Functional Collaboration — Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Sales, and Customer Success to deliver with quality and speed. Contribute to horizontal PRDs that span modules and require tight coordination across the team. - Customer Discovery — Maintain a continuous caden
