Job description

What You'll Do 

Koalafi partners with thousands of merchants across the country to offer point-of-sale financing and receives over a million customer applications per year. As a Fraud Investigator, you will monitor and research risk signals for both customers and merchants that could indicate some form of fraud is being committed. This includes a risk assessment during onboarding of new merchants, ongoing monitoring/review of merchant performance, and review of applications flagged for potential fraud. 

As a Fraud Investigator, you will look for systemic patterns in suspicious customer and merchant behavior and conduct deep dives/investigations to determine legitimacy. This includes identity theft, synthetic IDs, manipulated IDs, taking advantage of vulnerable persons, and taking advantage of family or friends. Fraud Investigators have several tools available to assist in their research, such as application data, internal system of record data, internet search data, and third-party fraud prevention tools. You will be expected to use these tools and proactively call potential fraud victims to reach as accurate a conclusion as possible. 

In this role you will: 

  • Identify systemic patterns in suspicious customer and merchant behavior and conduct investigations 
  • Review and evaluate all new merchant partners during onboarding to ensure we establish partnerships with properly licensed merchants that align with our intent 
  • Manage inbound fraud claims and perform ad hoc research into uncommon scenarios that could indicate foul play 
  • Leverage tools such as application data, internal system of record data, internet search data, and third-party fraud prevention tools to reach accurate investigation conclusions 
  • Collaborate across multiple departments, such as Sales, Operations, Fraud Analytics, and Compliance 

About You (Qualifications) 

  • 2+ years of relevant experience in fraud detection, investigation, or related financial services experience 
  • Strong pattern recognition and attention to detail, with a strong commitment to quality, accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality  
  • Ability to conduct thorough research using multiple data sources 
  • Experience documenting processes, procedures, and investigation findings 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills 
  • Strong interpersonal skills; you're comfortable having difficult conversations with merchants 
  • Strong sense of ownership and motivation to stop fraudsters 
  • Proficiency in tools like Microsoft Excel and Word; familiarity with fraud databases or investigative platforms is a plus 
  • Ability to work independently and efficiently, both in-person and on work from home days 
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, with strong prioritization skills and ability to handle multiple responsibilities at once 
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred 
  • High school diploma, GED, or equivalent certification 

Location: Richmond, VA; Arlington, VA; or Remote (U.S.). Associates near one of our office locations may work in-office, hybrid, or remotely. Remote opportunities are available to candidates throughout the United States. 

Salary Range: $61,000-$74,000 per year (depending on experience and location)

Additional Compensation: This position will be eligible to participate in company bonus plan. 

The final salary offer will depend on factors including, but not limited to, experience, skills, and geographic location. The actual annualized salary amount offered to any candidate at the time of hire will be reflected solely in the candidate's offer letter.

Applications will be accepted until position is filled.
