Director of Product at Veriff - Remote US/UK/Spain — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Location Flexibility Overview: This Director-level role at Veriff offers remote work in Spain, the UK, and across 22 eligible US states, plus hybrid in Estonia. While it is not fully location-independent, it does provide meaningful flexibility within those approved regions.
Timezone Considerations: With teams spread across the US, UK, Spain, and Estonia, expect significant cross-timezone collaboration. The role requires close alignment with engineering, data science, operations, and GTM — suggesting regular synchronous meetings. Pure async culture is unlikely at this leadership level, though some schedule flexibility may exist between EU and US hours.
Visa & Residency Notes: You must be a legal resident in one of the allowed countries — a tourist visa or digital nomad visa without residency will not qualify for most of these roles. Estonia's Digital Nomad Visa (Type D) could be a pathway to qualifying for the hybrid Tallinn option, provided you establish residency. Spain's Digital Nomad Visa (introduced 2023) is a strong option for those wishing to base themselves in Europe. UK residents will need appropriate right-to-work status.
Travel-Friendly Perks:
- Work-from-home flexibility allows you to work from any approved country
- Learning & Development + Health budget can potentially fund coworking spaces
- Four-week paid sabbatical at year 5 is excellent for extended travel
This is best suited to someone who wants a stable remote base in one of the approved regions rather than a true location-independent lifestyle.
About the Team
The Veriff Network team spans multiple critical areas, including Fraud, Registries, Human-Driven Accuracy (Verification Specialist Operations), Cross-linking, Data Suppliers, and Compliance Relationships. This team serves Trust, Fraud, and Risk teams in marketplaces and consumer fintech environments by building a data flywheel where every verification makes the next one smarter. The Network serves as Veriff's third layer and its core competitive moat — the ultimate reason customers choose and stay with Veriff.
The Opportunity
Today, the Network consists of six capabilities run as separate efforts, with no single owner accountable for strategy, monetization, or the data flywheel. This role exists to turn Veriff's Network into one cohesive product line and platform capability. You will own the strategy, the revenue model, and the data flywheel, acting as a cross-functional leader uniting engineering, data science, operations, and GTM teams.
What You'll Achieve in Your First 3 Months
- Complete an assessment of Veriff Network capabilities to determine where we stand relative to market needs, identifying our best opportunities to create compelling value and our weakest points.
- Deliver one unified Network strategy and roadmap across all six areas, signed off by the Leadership Team.
- Identify and initiate progress on necessary changes to Veriff's terms of service, services agreements, and accuracy SLAs.
What You'll Achieve by 12 Months
- Ensure Network signals (fraud intelligence, cross-linking, registries) measurably lift core verification, resulting in more fraud caught and fewer false rejects.
- Successfully package, price, and bring Fraud and Registries to market, booking the first ARR and building the pipeline.
- Put a supplier and compliance-relationship strategy in place that reduces supplier cost per verification and closes coverage gaps in priority markets.
- Establish strong senior PM leads for Fraud and Registries, and ensure Verification Specialist Ops runs on a joint product roadmap with the Operations team.
What You'll Bring — Essential
- Experience building products where data gets more valuable with scale, including leading the development of data network effects or ML capabilities.
- Deep knowledge of how fraudsters attack identity and how Trust, Fraud, and Risk teams buy within marketplaces, consumer fintech, or similar scaled enterprise environments.
- Familiarity with human-driven operations and ML/Data Science engineering, with a proven ability to align and influence parts of the organization you do not directly own.
- A strong monetization instinct with past experience turning technical capabilities into priced offers and owning revenue for a product line.
