- Independently define and lead the development of fraud prevention strategies that span products, geographies, and operational domains.
- Translate fraud risk insights into strategic initiatives, working across product, engineering, and analytics to build scalable fraud controls and platform improvements.
- Perform fraud risk assessments for new products and geographic expansions, driving the delivery of business requirements from discovery through implementation and maintenance.
- Coordinate major incident response efforts, including root cause analysis, stakeholder alignment, and long-term solution delivery.
- Coach and delegate workstreams to other team members or collaborators to ensure velocity and coverage across a growing fraud landscape.
- Define and track program goals, risks, and success metrics; drive alignment across stakeholders.
You Have:
- 7+ years of experience in program management within a technical domain, ideally within a fraud, trust & safety, or risk context.
- Bachelor's degree, financial crimes related certifications (CFE, CFCS, etc.) or equivalent experience
- Strong technical fluency; ability to engage with engineers and analysts on system behavior and product architecture.
- Proficient in Excel and Google Workspace
- Basic SQL experience
- Proven ability to operate in high-ambiguity environments, building fraud controls from the ground up for new/changing products, including extensive experience in rule design, model implementation, and tooling enhancements
- Prior experience in payments, fintech, remittances, or money movement is a plus.
- Occasionally, you will be asked to provide your support during non-business hours when we are experiencing an acute attack. This role is exempt from overtime pay.
