About the Role

You will join the Fraud Strategy team to own the end-to-end fraud strategy for a new card issuance program. This is a 0-to-1 build role responsible for designing authorization decisioning, managing network fraud thresholds, and implementing controls that balance security with user experience across Latin American markets.

Responsibilities

  • Own fraud strategy for the card issuance program from pre-launch risk assessment through steady-state monitoring.
  • Translate infrastructure partner responsibilities into an operating decisioning model.
  • Design authorization decisioning including approve/decline logic, 3DS/SCA step-up, velocity limits, and cross-account linkage.
  • Monitor fraud-to-sales and dispute ratios against card network thresholds to prevent penalties.
  • Build the cardholder fraud lifecycle including onboarding risk and pattern detection.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to embed controls directly into card issuance and funding flows.
  • Manage card dispute and chargeback strategy in partnership with Fraud Operations.
  • Represent fraud requirements in vendor conversations and maintain documentation.
  • Use SQL and BigQuery to size fraud exposure, backtest thresholds, and monitor post-launch indicators.
  • Develop a scalable fraud playbook for future product and market expansions.

Requirements

  • 4–7+ years in fraud/risk strategy with hands-on experience in card authorization decisioning.
  • Working knowledge of card network mechanics including authorization/clearing/settlement, 3DS/SCA, and network fraud-monitoring programs.
  • Experience evaluating BaaS or program-manager card issuing vendors.
  • Advanced SQL proficiency for independent risk analysis.
  • Demonstrated bias toward product and action-based fraud controls over static rules.
  • Ability to build in ambiguity and translate documentation into operating models.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills.
  • Advanced English proficiency.
  • Prior experience with card issuing at a fintech or program manager.
  • Familiarity with stablecoin-backed card programs or crypto.
  • Proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese.
  • Background in cross-border remittance or LATAM-market fraud.
  • Experience negotiating or managing a BIN sponsor or issuing bank relationship.
