What you'll do

• Own and lead noon’s end-to-end merchant risk charter across the marketplace – defining the strategy, operating model, and roadmap that protect our customers, our sellers, and the platform.
• Build, lead, and grow a high-performing risk team spanning seller vetting and onboarding risk, fraud and abuse prevention, investigations, and policy enforcement.
• Design and continuously strengthen controls across the full seller lifecycle – onboarding and KYC, ongoing monitoring, and offboarding – to detect and prevent fraud, collusion, counterfeit, and prohibited-product abuse.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to build the risk tooling, rules engines, and machine-learning detection models that scale with the business while keeping false positives low.
• Own the risk KPIs – fraud loss in bps, detection and recovery rates, false-positive rate, and investigation SLAs – and drive measurable improvement quarter over quarter.
• Lead complex investigations and enforcement decisions – warnings, suspensions, reinstatements, and appeals – balancing seller experience with platform integrity.
• Partner across Legal, Compliance, Finance, Payments, and Seller Operations to manage the regulatory, financial, and reputational risk of the marketplace.
• Deep-dive the root cause of emerging fraud and abuse patterns, prioritize, and drive resolution – building the playbooks and SOPs that prevent recurrence and reduce the per-unit cost of risk operations.
• What you’ll need:
• Master’s degree in business administration, engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 8+ years of experience in risk, fraud, trust & safety, or financial-crime / compliance, with significant exposure to e-commerce or marketplaces; 3P marketplace experience strongly preferred.
• A proven track record of building and leading teams and owning a risk function end-to-end.
• Strong command of fraud typologies and risk controls, and sound judgment on the trade-off between risk mitigation and seller growth and experience.
• Ability to read and understand data to take effective decisions, and comfort partnering with analysts, data scientists, and risk-tooling teams.
• Phenomenal stakeholder management and the ability to influence Product, Engineering, Legal, and Finance.
• Extreme sense of ownership and aggression to deliver results in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment.
• Excellent communication skills (written / verbal) and the judgment to make sound calls under pressure.
• Who will excel?
