Head of Fraud

Required

• Influence is the most critical skill for this role, and we'll assess it at every interview stage.
• Exceptional influence. You have a track record of getting fraud controls shipped by product and engineering teams you don't manage. You build trust fast, make a clear case using data, win prioritization against competing roadmaps, and turn disagreement into decisions.
• Deep fraud expertise. 10+ years of experience in fraud within fintech, payments, banking, crypto, trading, online gaming, or other high-volume digital platforms, including at least five years in leadership, with direct accountability for fraud prevention, investigations, operations, and measurable outcomes.
• Control design that works. A track record of building preventative and detective controls from scratch and proving they cut losses without hurting good customers.
• Breadth across fraud types. Hands-on experience with both first-party and third-party fraud, including account takeover, identity fraud and payment fraud.
• AI native. You use AI and automation as your default way of working: for detection models, investigation tooling, case triage and your own day-to-day productivity. You know where models beat rules and where they don't.
• Commercial judgement. You understand that the goal is the right balance of loss, friction and growth, not zero fraud. You can put a number on the trade-offs.
• Regulatory lens. You know what regulators expect from a fraud program (governance, documentation, testing, escalation) and can defend our approach in an exam.
• Pace and ownership. You drive outcomes quickly, prioritize ruthlessly and close things out. You're comfortable in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.
• Data fluency. Comfortable working directly in SQL and with data teams to size problems and measure control performance.
