• High-Risk Case Investigation & Escalation – Act as an escalation point for complex, high-risk, or sensitive cases, including suspicious merchants, anomalous transaction behaviour, and potential organised fraud activity. Personally investigate critical cases where required and make informed risk-based decisions.
• Merchant Onboarding Fraud Oversight – Oversee fraud risk assessments at the point of merchant onboarding, including KYB checks, risk scoring, and application reviews, ensuring appropriate controls are applied to mitigate fraud risk at acquisition.
• Ongoing Merchant Fraud Monitoring – Supervise and contribute to continuous monitoring of merchant activity post-onboarding, identifying suspicious behaviour, emerging fraud typologies, and high-risk merchants.

• Transaction Fraud Decisioning – Oversee and support fraud decisioning across transaction monitoring queues, particularly for CNP and POS transactions, ensuring consistent and accurate application of fraud rules, policies, and risk appetite.
• Chargeback & Fraud Loss Mitigation – Support the management and reduction of fraud-related chargebacks through effective operational controls, root cause analysis, and feedback into fraud strategy and rule development teams.
• Performance Monitoring & MI – Track and report on key operational metrics, including fraud losses, decision accuracy, productivity, SLA adherence, and false positive rates. Use MI to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
• Stakeholder Collaboration – Work closely with fraud strategy & analytics, product, risk, and technology teams to ensure operational insights are fed into rule development, model tuning, and control enhancements across the acquiring product.
• Regulatory & Scheme Compliance – Ensure operations align with relevant card scheme rules (Visa/Mastercard), PCI DSS requirements, and applicable regulatory expectations within the merchant acquiring space.

To be successful you will:

• Minimum 4–6 years’ experience in fraud operations within a merchant acquiring, payment services, or broader merchant fraud environment.
• Proven experience managing fraud operations teams, including performance management, coaching, and quality assurance oversight.
• Strong hands-on experience investigating fraud cases across transaction monitoring (CNP and POS), merchant onboarding (KYB), and ongoing merchant risk monitoring.
• Demonstrable experience working within the merchant acquiring ecosystem, including understanding of authorisation flows, chargeback processes, and acquiring-specific fraud typologies (e.g. refund fraud, triangulation fraud, bust-out merchants).
• Experience handling escalations and making risk-based decisions on high-risk merchants and complex fraud cases. Familiarity with fraud management platforms such as Feedzai, including case management workflows and decisioning processes (experience with similar platforms also considered).
• Strong understanding of operational KPIs, including SLAs, productivity, fraud loss metrics, and decision accuracy. Ability to balance hands-on investigative work with team leadership responsibilities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify trends and translate operational insights into actionable improvements. Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both operational teams and senior stakeholders.
• Experience in a large corporate or institutional acquiring environment. Experience supporting the build or scaling of a new fraud operations function or product.
