Job description


About the Role:

We're looking for an experienced, detail-driven investigator to join our Merchant Risk Monitoring team. In this role, you'll be on the front lines of protecting borrowers and preventing financial loss - identifying suspicious merchant behavior, investigating fraud and abuse, and taking action before problems escalate.

This isn't a passive monitoring role. You'll own investigations from initial alert through resolution, work closely with a fast-moving team, and directly influence risk outcomes. If you thrive in a high-stakes environment where your work has real impact, this role is for you.

What You'll Do:

  • Monitor merchant accounts on an ongoing basis, identifying anomalies, suspicious patterns, and early warning signs of fraud or borrower abuse.
  • Lead investigations into fraud, compliance violations, contractor misconduct, licensing issues, and abnormal loan activity - from intake through resolution.
  • Dig into transaction data, account history, and performance metrics to uncover root causes and build a clear evidentiary record.
  • Conduct background research on merchants, including criminal history, regulatory violations, negative news, and reputational red flags.
  • Prepare thorough, well-organized investigation reports with findings, risk assessments, and recommended actions for leadership and cross-functional partners.
  • Work with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Operations teams to implement mitigation strategies and escalate high-risk situations appropriately.
  • Contribute to the development of risk frameworks, monitoring protocols, and investigative playbooks to strengthen the team's capabilities over time.
  • Stay current on industry trends, regulatory changes, and fraud schemes relevant to merchant services and home improvement lending.

What We Look For:

  • 3-5 years of experience in fraud investigations, merchant monitoring, operational risk, or a closely related field within financial services or payments.
  • Strong analytical instincts - you can interpret complex data, spot patterns, and connect dots across large transaction sets.
  • Experience conducting background research, adverse media reviews, and regulatory/licensing checks.
  • Clear, precise written communication - you can distill a complex investigation into a report that's easy to act on.
  • Comfortable working independently and managing multiple open cases at once in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency with data analysis tools, risk platforms, and Microsoft Office Suite; experience with AI-assisted research tools is a plus.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, finance, criminal justice, risk management, or a related field. CFE, CRM, or similar certification is a strong plus.

Nice to Have:

  • Background in home improvement lending, contractor-funded loan programs, or merchant acquiring.
  • Familiarity with Jira, case management systems, or investigation tracking platforms.
  • Experience collaborating with or supporting a borrower outreach or rapid response team.
  • Exposure to regulatory environments such as CFPB, state licensing frameworks, or contractor compliance requirements.

What We Offer You: 

  • Competitive salary and stock option plan
  • Medical, dental and vision insurance with employer paid options
  • Flexible PTO
  • Competitive 401(k) and RRSP program
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development   
  • Paid parental leave
  • Health & wellness initiatives
