About the team

Our Fraud Prevention & Investigations team blends analytical detection with field-based investigation to identify, validate, and disrupt fraud patterns across operations. We operate with strong operational rigor—clear workflows, audit-ready documentation, and performance reporting—so we can scale consistently while staying aligned to policy, compliance, and risk-management goals. This role connects data signals to real-world findings, ensuring insights from investigations continuously improve detection methods, tooling, and program strategy.

• Manage escalations and partner with Legal, Compliance, Product, Engineering, and Care Operations on fraud requirements and countermeasures.

What you’ll bring

• Experience leading fraud prevention programs that combine analytics and investigations, including operationalization (SOPs, QA, metrics, reporting).

• Demonstrated ability to develop/validate fraud detection signals or models and reduce false positives through hypothesis testing.

• Hands-on investigation expertise using digital evidence (e.g., CCTV, device metadata, geolocation) and field findings.

• Knowledge of evidence handling, chain of custody, and working with Legal/Compliance and (as needed) law enforcement/regulators.

• Strong cross-functional execution skills translating risk requirements into scalable processes and tooling improvements.
