About the team and the opportunity

We are looking for a new team member for our fraud prevention team Our team focuses on detecting and preventing financial, legal, and reputational fraud using advanced analytics tools. The team consists of two sub-areas, OPS and Analytics. OPS is responsible for detecting and managing fraud cases, while Analytics plays a role as a data enabler and executes high-impact projects for the area.

This role will be primarily focused on the Analytics area, with a specific emphasis on our databases (data enabler, models), and executing high-impact projects related to automation. The main goal will be to generate impact on our main objectives, such as reducing chargebacks and friction, working closely with our Data Analyst to receive guidance and collaborate towards a common direction.

We have recently merged our Onboarding and Risk & Fraud functions into one team - ONB and Fraud Prevention. This presents an exciting opportunity for us to leverage the synergies between the two teams. By adopting an analytics approach, we aim to make onboarding a more efficient and seamless operation, while also using it as a crucial tool for fraud prevention.

While the focus of this position will be on fraud prevention, we expect that the role will also involve responsibilities related to onboarding, with a strong emphasis on leading the team towards flawless execution (automation, data enablement and KPIs).
