• 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

• 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.
