At Fourthline, our mission is to fight financial crime. We help protect the global financial system by verifying millions of identities for banks, neobanks, online brokers, crypto exchanges, and insurers like N26, Trade Republic, flatexDEGIRO, Nationale Nederlanden, Qonto, Shine, Solarisbank, and more.
Having started our journey in January 2018, we're incredibly proud to count around 250 employees between our Amsterdam and Barcelona offices with over 50 nationalities.
We are looking for a Product Manager to own the strategy and commercial success of our Biometrics product suite, one of the most technically sophisticated areas of Fourthline’s Identity Verification platform. Our biometrics prove that a real, live person is behind every verification, from face matching and liveness to deepfake and injection attack detection, and let returning users authenticate seamlessly. Your mission is to make biometrics a product that wins deals on its own merits: sharpening where we compete, turning our certifications into a sales advantage, and growing biometric authentication across the full customer lifecycle.
You’ll work in tandem with the Engineering Manager, who owns delivery. You own the why and the what: where we play, how we win, and what we build next. Expect to spend real time with clients, Sales and Marketing, not only with the team.
What you'll do:
Own the biometrics product strategy: where we compete, how we stand out against specialist biometrics vendors and full-stack identity players, and what we build, buy or partner for.
Own the commercial performance of the product line (adoption, revenue, win rates) and build the business cases that decide where we invest.
Shape positioning, pricing and packaging with Sales, Marketing and Finance, including how biometrics are sold on their own, as components, or as part of the full suite.
Be the product voice in front of clients: join sales and RFP conversations with Tier 1 banks, run discovery with fraud, compliance and product teams, and bring what you learn back into the roadmap.
Drive adoption of our deepfake and injection attack defences across our client base, working with Customer Success to turn new capabilities into protection that’s actually deployed.
Set the roadmap with the Engineering Manager and ML engineers. Make the tradeoff calls between fraud prevention, conversion and cost, and hold the team to measurable outcomes.
What you have:
5+ years in product management, including owning the strategy and commercial results of a B2B product line, not only its delivery.
Commercial fluency: you’ve built business cases, worked on pricing or packaging, and supported enterprise sales cycles or RFPs, ideally with banks or other regulated buyers.
You’re credible in front of senior client stakeholders and in leadership forums, and you can pitch the product as well as explain it.
Enough technical depth to earn the trust of ML engineers. You understand how biometric models are evaluated and what drives their performance.
A point of view on the market: how fraud, deepfakes and digital identity regulation are changing, and what that means for the product.
Experience in identity verification, biometrics, fraud prevention or RegTech is a plus. Familiarity with eIDAS, ETSI or AMLR is a bonus.
At Fourthline, we believe diversity enriches our culture and inspires you to do your best work. We value your unique talents and perspectives, welcoming them into a safe and inclusive working environment, to ultimately deliver the best products to our customers and society. You're welcome here. Fourthline is for everyone.
Our hiring process is designed to be equal, fair, and transparent. We welcome people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, religions, and experiences in life. If you're excited about this role, but your experience does not align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.
