Success in this position requires a strong, collaborative spirit, as you will work daily with cross-functional teams, including Product, Analysts, Engineers, Customer Support, and Compliance, to protect our company and customers from financial fraud.

What You'll Do

  • Fraud Investigation & Mitigation
  • Oversee daily monitoring of fraud and operational metrics to identify and react to emerging fraud trends.
  • Lead and conduct complex fraud investigations, from initial detection through to resolution.
  • Develop and implement new fraud controls, rules, and procedures to mitigate risk and reduce fraud losses.
  • Drive operational excellence by refining investigation workflows and standardizing processes.
    • Global & Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with product, engineering, and data analytics teams to translate operational insights into scalable fraud prevention solutions.
  • Collaborate with customer support and compliance teams to ensure a seamless and customer-centric approach to fraud escalations.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for fraud-related concerns, communicating findings and recommendations to key stakeholders.
  • Coordinate with global counterparts to share intelligence, align on best practices, and ensure consistent fraud controls across all markets.
  • Must be able and willing to work at least two hours during East Coast US business hours three days a week to ensure effective communication and collaboration with global teams.
    • People Management & Team Building
  • Recruit, train, and mentor a team of fraud operations specialists and investigators.
  • Conduct regular one-on-ones, performance reviews, and career development discussions.
  • Build a strong, collaborative team culture focused on continuous improvement and shared objectives.
  • Ensure adequate fraud support and coverage by providing management oversight for markets outside of their primary responsibility when needed.

What You'll Bring

  • 4-5 years experience as a manager in a fraud or risk operations role in financial services or a related field within the fintech or digital lending industry.
  • Experience identifying issues, analysing root causes, and implementing effective solutions to improve global team efficiency and reduce fraud losses.
  • Expertise in developing, documenting, and enforcing fraud prevention runbooks and processes. This includes a strong understanding of how to optimize workflows for efficiency and accuracy, run effective QA programs, and a deep understanding of manual review techniques during the full customer lifecycle to identify suspicious patterns.
  • Proven track record of recognising fraud trends and properly escalating material fraud trends to leaders and peers in a timely manner. Ability to analyse data using existing tools to confirm fraud, identify trends, and measure the effectiveness of fraud controls.
  • Direct experience communicating with fraud-impacted customers by email and ability to manage a team responding to customer fraud complaints, ensure quality, and service level agreements.
  • Expertise in local languages of the markets being served by the role.
  • Deep understanding of financial fraud typologies specific to fintech and small loan lending, such as identity theft, account takeover, synthetic identity fraud, and first-party default.
  • Experience in case management and conducting thorough fraud investigations.
  • Familiarity with the fraud lifecycle, from prevention and detection to investigation and recovery.
Our vision is to build a new financial ecosystem where everyone can participate on equal footing and access the tools they need to be financially healthy.
