Fraud Specialist

Role overview

This opening is being handled for a partner employer, and that company will manage the application review and any further hiring steps. The partner is seeking a Fraud Specialist in Australia.

You will join a rapidly expanding environment where fraud prevention and risk control are critical to keeping a digital marketplace secure and reliable. The role centers on spotting suspicious behavior, studying new fraud trends, and improving the systems that safeguard users and transactions.

The work brings together analytical thinking, case investigation, and collaboration across teams to reduce risk ahead of time. You will partner with product, data, and engineering stakeholders to refine fraud detection approaches and operational workflows.

This opportunity suits someone who enjoys tackling complex issues, recognizing unusual patterns, and building practical security solutions that improve trust for a global user base.

Accountabilities

• Review marketplace activity to flag suspicious conduct and help stop fraudulent transactions.
• Work with data to uncover fraud signals, shifting risk patterns, and likely attack techniques.
• Handle escalated fraud matters and suggest suitable actions after assessing the level of risk.
• Partner with product, data, and engineering teams to enhance prevention and detection controls.
• Build and update dashboards, reports, and alerting mechanisms that support continuous monitoring.
• Help shape fraud prevention policies, operating procedures, and internal guidelines.
• Spot weaknesses early and recommend improvements that strengthen trust and platform security.

Experience and profile

The ideal candidate should have prior exposure to fraud prevention, risk operations, trust and safety, fintech, e-commerce, or marketplace settings. Strong analytical ability and a problem-solving mindset are important, along with the capacity to read data, detect trends, and turn findings into useful actions.

Familiarity with fraud monitoring tools, anomaly-detection techniques, or rule-based risk systems will be valuable. A detail-focused, proactive approach is needed to identify and address threats before they escalate.

You should also be comfortable working with cross-functional teams, communicate clearly, and operate independently in a fast-moving, scaling environment. A good command of English is required, and stronger fluency is preferred because the working environment is international.
