• Fraud Strategy & Prevention

  • Partner with product/tech teams to deploy advanced monitoring tools and machine learning models.

  • Balance customer experience with fraud mitigation, ensuring frictionless payments.

• Stakeholder Management & Reporting

  • Deliver fraud risk reports, trends, and insights to management and regulators.

  • Train operations, customer support, and compliance teams on fraud risk practices.

  • Act as the subject matter expert for fraud-related policies and controls.

What We're Looking For

• Deep understanding of payment fraud typologies, chargeback processes, and AML/fraud regulatory requirements.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to work with large data sets and detection tools.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth fintech or startup environment.
