  • Collaborate with product, risk, compliance, and engineering teams to influence roadmap and priorities with data-driven recommendations.
  • Design and run experiments (e.g., A/B tests) to evaluate the effectiveness of fraud controls and mitigation strategies.

You Have:

  • 5+ years of experience in product analytics, fraud/risk analytics, or data analysis roles.
