What the job involves
- As our Senior Risk and Fraud specialist, you will be a pivotal force in advancing the capabilities and success of our Payments & Risk team
- Your expertise and mindset will be instrumental in shaping and executing our Risk and Fraud strategy and you will collaborate closely with product managers, BI and the Payments & Risk team to drive advancements on our roadmap
- You will work with a team of Fraud Analysts, responsible for rules configuration, projects, performance monitoring and data analysis with a consistent focus on priorities, KPIs and execution of the strategy
- You will also share the accountability on the fraud ratios, approval rates and ultimately the chargeback result on the P&L
- You will be the bridge between multiple internal teams and a diverse ecosystem of external partners, including payment service providers and specialized risk management vendors
- Day-to-day fraud and risk management operations, including monitoring of transactions and customer activity across various payment methods and platforms to detect and mitigate emerging fraud trends and anomalies
- Perform in-depth analysis to identify fraud activities or patterns, and pinpoint opportunities to optimize the payment and risk funnel - i.e. adding/removing layers of defense to maximize profit balancing acceptance, cost and fraud
- Serve as a point of contact for ad-hoc questions related to fraud and risk from internal teams and external partners
- Define, implement and refine fraud mitigation strategies tailored to different payment methods and evolving fraud typologies, ensuring a balance between risk prevention, customer experience and commercial objectives

- Work on continuous improvement of our risk management capabilities by developing (predictive) models and rule-based logic for risk management use-cases. This includes (dynamic) payment route optimization, A/B testing, risk scoring, customer segmentation based on risk factors and (real-time) anomaly detection
- Explore and implement automation opportunities for routine risk management tasks, including reporting, alert generation and potentially aspects of rules deployment or model adjustments
- Design and execute payment and risk strategies, fraud rules and user experience (from payments and risk perspective) to determine the optimal balance between conversion, cost and risk mitigation

Our take
Branded payments (such as gift cards, mobile call credit, vouchers and prepaid payment cards) have been in operation for decades - but lately have experienced something of a boom. They are an increasingly popular gift, and Recharge.com is a branded payments scaleup that’s taking advantage of this increased interest.
Recharge focus predominantly on partnerships with leading entertainment and telecom giants like Playstation, Netflix, Apple and Orange. They are not the only player in the market, competing with similar businesses as well as North American behemoth Blackhawk Networks.
To gain an edge, Recharge is looking to capture the consumer side of the $3 trillion-valued branded payments market. With consumers more actively involved in branded payments than ever before, this move could very well prove lucrative.
