Trust is one of the key pillars for our success, and your challenge will be to build a platform that allows users to transact safely while preventing abuse and balancing between offering best-in-class support to our customers and preventing fraud and abuse of our platform. You will lead a team of product managers who report directly to you while also leading engineers, designers, and data analysts who do not report directly to you. Your ability to lead, influence, and build alignment across cross-functional teams will be a key to your success. You will also collaborate with our Risk and Member Support operations teams to deliver on our mission and key objectives. This role is one of the most challenging roles in fintech and will provide you with tremendous opportunities for growth.

What you'll do:

• Set the strategy for your domain and develop team OKRs that serve the company’s overall strategy and objectives, with a focus on building user trust, improving member experience, and reducing risk.
• Work to improve the member experience as well as key risk and fraud metrics, including CSAT, NPS, Member Retention, and Fraud exposure.
• Structure a product roadmap addressing the biggest opportunities to improve our customer experience and company key results.
• Collaborate with Product, Technology, Design, Data, and Fraud Operations to implement your product roadmap and deliver measurable results.
• Build a sophisticated risk engine and ML models to identify and prevent unauthorized behavior.
• Be a subject matter expert in the areas of account security, authentication, risk management, fraud prevention, and customer support.
• Design strategies that balance a frictionless user experience and risk controls.
• Oversee our risk and identity vendor portfolio and ensure the appropriate and fiscally responsible use of these vendor solutions throughout the ecosystem.
• Create the vision for and drive the development of our in-house tools and dashboards, which our customer support agents use to help our customers.
• Drive improvements to the quality and effectiveness of customer support tools such as the help center, AI Chat, IVR, Email, and others.

What you'll need:

• 10+ years of product management experience in payment, fintech, or related direct-to-consumer companies.
• Deep understanding and empathy for customers' needs, specifically when it comes to customer service, fraud, safety, and trust.
• Experience partnering with cross-functional teams of engineers, designers, operations, and data analysts to deliver extraordinary products.
• Exceptional communication skills, both within your team, with leadership, and with stakeholders.
• Ability to collaborate with engineers in developing the technical architecture of the products you own and build.
• Experience and deep understanding of compliance and regulation in financial services.
• Experience building and managing onboarding, risk, fraud, compliance, and identity products.
• Experience designing sound customer support experiences that balance user experience and prevent fraud with minimal impact on healthy business growth.
• Ability to partner with data analytics to size business opportunities, create experiments, and interpret A/B tests to make sound business decisions.
• Minimum five years experience managing a high-performing team of product managers.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business or other related field.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience building AI-driven products in the customer support and operations space.
• Strong understanding of identity, authentication, and security concepts, including federated identity, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, ID proofing, and industry standards such as OpenID Connect/OAuth, FIDO, and NIST 800-63 security frameworks.
• You have a strong understanding of risk and fraud-related data available in the market and how it can be leveraged to enhance detection capabilities.
• Fluency in creating multi-layered detection strategies that consider and mitigate complex risk problems across the platform and throughout the user journey.
