Job Description

The Product Manager for Customer Identity & Authentication will lead delivery of Citizens’ next-generation centralized CIAM platform, a core pillar of the bank’s Reimagine the Bank strategy. This role is responsible for transforming fragmented authentication and identity verification capabilities into a unified, risk-based, and intelligence-driven platform that reduces customer friction while strengthening fraud defenses. This leader will drive the transition from siloed OTP and point solutions to a modern, adaptive authentication ecosystem—leveraging passkeys, biometrics, device intelligence, and AI-powered risk signals. The role will partner across Security, Fraud, Digital, Technology, and Operations to position identity not just as a control point, but as a driver of customer growth, trust, and conversion. The role requires balancing near-term delivery (e.g., channel integration, OTP consolidation, fraud controls) with long-term platform transformation, ensuring measurable business impact across customer experience, fraud loss reduction, and operational efficiency. This role includes team leadership responsibilities and reports to the CIAM Product Leader.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead delivery of a centralized CIAM platform, consolidating fragmented authentication and identity verification capabilities across mobile, digital, contact center, and branch channels
  • Drive OTP and authentication consolidation strategy, reducing redundancy, improving reliability, and enabling consistent customer experience across journeys
  • Define and execute the roadmap for modern, passwordless and risk-based authentication, including passkeys, biometrics, behavioral signals, and adaptive step-up
  • Embed risk-based decisioning and AI-driven identity intelligence into authentication flows to dynamically balance security and customer friction
  • Partner across Security, Fraud, Digital, and Technology to align on enterprise authentication standards and eliminate duplicative controls
  • Enable omnichannel identity orchestration, ensuring identity signals persist and are leveraged consistently across customer journeys
  • Own delivery outcomes and adoption, ensuring scalable implementation, operational readiness, and measurable business impact
  • Establish enterprise authentication standards and governance, preventing future fragmentation and ensuring consistency across all channels and products
  • Track and optimize core business KPIs, including authentication success rates, step-up rates, fraud losses, customer friction, and conversion lift

Requirements

  • 7+ years in product management, platform delivery, or identity/authentication/fraud domains
  • Proven experience leading enterprise-scale platform transformations, ideally CIAM or authentication modernization initiatives
  • Strong expertise in modern authentication technologies (passkeys/FIDO2, biometrics, MFA, device intelligence, identity verification)
  • Experience delivering risk-based or adaptive authentication and integrating fraud/risk signals into customer journeys
  • Deep understanding of CIAM principles, identity orchestration, and omnichannel customer journeys
  • Experience driving OTP consolidation or authentication platform rationalization strongly preferred
  • Expertise in Agile delivery (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban) at scale
  • Strong executive communication skills, with ability to translate identity strategy into business outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence without authority
  • Experience defining and managing KPIs tied to business outcomes (conversion, fraud reduction, CX improvement)
  • Ability to balance security, customer experience, and operational efficiency in authentication design
  • Experience with AI/analytics-driven identity or fraud capabilities preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • advanced degree preferred
