The Fraud Countermeasure Team Lead drives the tactical defense layer of Veriff's Fraud Platform. By fusing threat intel, behavioral analytics, and real-time signals, the Countermeasures team uncovers new attack patterns, prioritises them by business impact, and ships detection logic that blocks fraud within hours. You will manage a team of fraud experts, own the attack-backlog roadmap, and ensure every countermeasure maximises protection while preserving user experience, speed, and trust.
You'll help us protect honest people online by:- Lead, grow, and develop a Fraud Countermeasures team that ships high-impact fraud rules at pace by nurturing a team culture of accountability, experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Translate raw threat intel into a focused detection strategy, aligning the team's backlog with the Fraud Platform's north-star metrics.
- Own end-to-end delivery-plan sprints, remove blockers, and help team ship countermeasures in hours, not weeks, while communicating crisp updates to execs and the wider company.
- Champion tooling and process upgrades-automate intel ingestion, detection testing, and rule deployment-so the team scales faster than the fraud landscape.
- Partner with product, data science, and engineering stakeholders to craft a long-term vision for proactive detection and inspire the team to chase it independently.
- Contribute to Veriff's global fraud risk posture reinforcement.
- Foster a red-team mindset: treat every missed fraud case as a controlled breach, and drive cross-functional squads to hunt, replicate, and shut down attacks faster than they can scale.
- Support career growth, feedback culture, and skill development in alignment with our internal product management principles.
- Executing orders of a direct manager or his/her substitute employee and
- performing other unforeseen tasks as required.
