- Monitor fraud and chargeback performance against payment network and regulatory threshold, investigate the drivers, and lead remediation when performance trends toward a threshold.

- Design and strengthen fraud controls, monitoring frameworks, and tooling, including finding opportunities for automation and ML-assisted detection.
- Strengthen operational rigor by standardizing and documenting SOPs, investigation playbooks, and escalation criteria across the team.
- Partner with our vendor partner on payments workflows by setting escalation criteria, defining quality signals, and making sure SOPs are applied consistently.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Payments, Operations, and external payment partners to resolve complex payment-risk challenges.
- Serve as the escalation point for high-risk cases, and mentor analysts as the team's subject matter expert.
- Own initiatives from problem identification through implementation and impact measurement, communicating effectively and operating effectively in ambiguous environments.
- Contribute to operational strategy, regional coverage planning, and the long-term Payment Abuse roadmap.
Basic Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in payment fraud, payment abuse, payments risk, or a related field, including experience leading complex fraud, chargeback, or dispute investigations.

- 3+ years of experience designing or enhancing fraud controls, monitoring frameworks, and risk mitigation strategies supporting payment abuse prevention, chargeback management, or scheme-compliance programs.
- 3+ years of hands-on SQL and data-analysis experience, including analyzing large datasets, identifying fraud trends, defining risk metrics or KPIs, and translating findings into operational or product improvements.
- Experience operating in a global, high-volume digital payments environment.
- Experience with alternative payment methods and regional ecosystems, such as SEPA, iDEAL, ACH, and digital wallets.
- Track record of influencing product, policy, or platform changes to reduce abuse risk.
