• Document all findings and maintain meticulous records of transactions, investigations, and final risk decisions for audit and compliance purposes.

• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (e.g., Engineering, Product, Customer Service) to resolve complex customer-related issues.

• Identify areas for improvement and propose changes to optimize processes, enhance risk controls, and improve the efficiency of our operational technology.

• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, regulatory changes, and data knowledge to proactively identify new fraud and risk patterns.
