About the Role

We are looking for a highly analytical and execution-driven

Risk Operations Lead

to strengthen Bybit’s Card and Payments business.

This role sits at the intersection of fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, and chargeback management, with full ownership of risk control across the card payment lifecycle — from authorization to settlement and dispute resolution.

You will play a key role in protecting revenue, optimizing approval rates, and ensuring compliance with global card network standards, while building scalable risk frameworks to support business growth.

1. Card Risk Review & Operations

  • Review and assess high-risk card transactions (e.g., suspicious payments, abnormal behavior, account/card misuse)
  • Evaluate user submissions (KYC/KYB, transaction justification, source of funds) for flagged cases
  • Optimize review workflows to improve approval accuracy, reduce false positives, and enhance operational efficiency
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to improve risk tooling and automation

2. Fraud Analysis & Risk Detection

  • Investigate and analyze fraud cases across card payments, including:
  • Card-not-present (CNP) fraud
  • Account takeover (ATO)
  • Transaction laundering / merchant abuse
  • Refund and friendly fraud
  • Reconstruct fraud attack chains across the payment lifecycle
  • Identify emerging fraud patterns and define mitigation strategies

3. Transaction Monitoring & Risk Strategy

  • Monitor real-time and post-transaction risk signals across card payments
  • Track and optimize key metrics: approval rate, fraud rate, false positives, and operational efficiency
  • Design and iterate risk rules, scoring logic, and detection strategies
  • Build early-warning systems to proactively detect fraud trends

4. Chargeback & Dispute Management

  • Own end-to-end chargeback and dispute operations across card transactions
  • Monitor and manage key KPIs: chargeback ratio, win rate, dispute aging, and recovery rate
  • Analyze root causes of disputes (fraud, friendly fraud, authorization gaps, user behavior) and implement preventive measures
  • Optimize representment strategies and documentation to improve dispute win rates
  • Partner with card networks such as Visa and Mastercard, issuing banks, and payment processors to ensure compliance and operational alignment

5. Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and Business teams to embed risk controls into card products and user flows
  • Support risk readiness for new product launches, payment features, and market expansion
  • Act as a key stakeholder in balancing
  • risk control vs. user experience vs. business growth

Experience

  • 3+ years in card payments risk, fraud operations, or chargeback/dispute management within fintech, payments, or banking
  • Hands-on experience with card transaction lifecycle (authorization → settlement → dispute)
  • Strong understanding of chargeback workflows, representment, and dispute lifecycle management
  • Familiarity with card network ecosystems (e.g., Visa, Mastercard) is highly preferred

Technical Skills

  • Proficiency in SQL, Hive, Excel, or other data analysis tools
  • Experience with fraud detection systems, rule engines, or transaction monitoring tools

Risk & Fraud Expertise

  • Deep understanding of card fraud typologies (CNP fraud, ATO, friendly fraud, chargeback abuse)
  • Strong ability to identify fraud signals, optimize rules, and improve detection strategies

Mindset

  • Data-driven and detail-oriented with strong analytical thinking
  • High ownership and ability to operate in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
  • Passion for payments, fraud prevention, and continuous learning
