Product Manager – Ethics & Compliance (Fixed Term, 1 Year)

Here’s a summary of the role: If you’re a product manager who thrives on turning ambiguity into clarity and wants to shape how organisations handle ethics and compliance in this new AI-enabled era , this role puts you right in the middle of it. You’ll own a whistleblowing and case management platform used by major enterprises, working closely with engineering teams in London and Bangalore to create and ship features that differentiate our product from the competition – from employee reporting tools to AI-powered investigation workflows. This is a fast-moving environment where you’ll need to be comfortable with complexity, technically curious, and confident communicating across every level of the business. It’s a one-year fixed term contract covering maternity leave, with a realistic possibility of extension or permanence for the right person. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff): Own the product roadmap for a whistleblowing and case management platform (Vault/Speak Up), working with one other product manager and a team of 6–12 engineers to define, prioritise, and ship features Work with engineering daily to translate business requirements into well-scoped, deliverable work – managing trade-offs between speed and scope coverage in a fast-moving environment Collaborate across a portfolio of Ethics & Compliance products including policy management, compliance training, and conflicts of interest – ensuring your product connects into a broader vision Engage with product marketing, senior stakeholders, and commercial teams to communicate what you’re building, why it matters, and what’s coming next Conceptualise and shape AI-powered product features – you won’t just be managing a backlog, you’ll be actively ideating how AI can transform compliance workflows Pick up and run with a knowledge transfer from the outgoing PM, getting up to speed quickly on a platform that’s been substantially modernised in the last 12 months These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 3-5 years of demonstrable experience as a product manager in a B2B SaaS environment, owning a product end-to-end from discovery through delivery Strong technical communication – you can hold a detailed conversation with engineers about APIs, databases, and integrations, and then switch to presenting strategy to senior leadership without missing a beat AI fluency – you understand what LLMs are, how AI capabilities can be embedded in products, and can think critically about where AI adds real value versus noise Comfort with ambiguity and pace – you’re the kind of PM who creates structure where there is none, and you don’t wait to be told what to do Excellent stakeholder management – you can build trust quickly, navigate competing priorities, and communicate clearly across product, engineering, design, and commercial teams A bias toward action – you ship, you iterate, you learn, and you don’t let perfect be the enemy of good It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t: Experience in GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance), legal tech, or ethics and compliance software Hands-on experience using AI tools for product management – prototyping with tools like v0, Claude or similar to accelerate your workflow Familiarity with working across distributed engineering teams (London and Bangalore in this case) Experience with whistleblowing, case management, or employee reporting platforms #LI-Hybrid About Us Diligent is the AI leader in governance, risk and compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions, helping more than 1 million users and 700,000 board members to clarify risk and elevate governance.
