A Payment Risk Manager is responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks related to payment transactions within a company. They develop strategies to detect and prevent fraud, monitor payment activities, ensure compliance with relevant regulations, and analyze transaction data to identify suspicious patterns.

To thrive as a Payment Risk Manager, you need a strong background in finance, risk assessment, data analysis, and a relevant degree in business, finance, or a related field. Familiarity with payment processing systems, fraud detection tools, and risk management software, as well as certifications like Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), are typically required. Excellent problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills help professionals stand out in this role. These skills and qualifications are crucial for effectively identifying, mitigating, and preventing payment risks, ensuring financial security and compliance within organizations.

What are some common challenges a Payment Risk Manager faces when implementing fraud prevention strategies?

Payment Risk Managers often encounter challenges balancing effective fraud prevention with a smooth customer experience. Implementing robust controls can sometimes result in false positives, inadvertently blocking legitimate transactions and frustrating customers. Additionally, staying ahead of constantly evolving fraud tactics requires continuous learning and adaptation, as well as close collaboration with IT, compliance, and customer support teams. Regularly updating risk models and fostering communication across departments are key to addressing these challenges effectively.

Job description

Description

Payment Network Compliance Analyst (Visa/Mastercard/Discover)

Merchant Compliance | Sponsorship Oversight | Acquiring

About This Role

Citizens is seeking a Payment Network Compliance Analyst to support our sponsorship oversight program within the Payments Risk organization. This role is responsible for ensuring adherence to Visa, Mastercard, and Discover network rules across merchant and third-party relationships.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role-not a traditional vendor risk/GRC position. The work is case-driven, detail-heavy, and high-volume, requiring strong judgment, documentation accuracy, and follow-through.

What You'll Do

  • Review and manage merchant compliance cases, including network violations, inquiries, and escalations
  • Support third-party agent (TPA), including network registrations
  • Ensure compliance with  Visa, Mastercard, and Discover rules and programs
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation for all compliance activities and submissions
  • Track, prioritize, and resolve multiple active cases simultaneously
  • Partner with internal teams (Payments, Risk, Compliance) to investigate and resolve issues
  • Identify and escalate potential risks or non-compliant merchant activity
  • Support reporting and tracking using Excel and internal case management tools

What We're Looking For (Required)

  • Direct experience in at least one of the following: 
    • Payment network compliance (Visa, Mastercard, Discover)
    • Merchant acquiring or sponsor bank environment
    • Merchant registrations, or violations handling
  • Experience managing: 
    • Case-based compliance work (tracking, investigation, resolution)
    • Regulatory or network-driven processes with documentation rigor
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate, audit-ready work
  • Proven ability to manage high-volume, process-driven workflows
  • Strong Excel skills (tracking, validation, reconciliation)
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and independently drive issues to resolution

Education:

  • Bachelor's degree or 1-3+ years' experience in payments required

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with: 
    • Third-party agent (TPA) registration processes
    • Merchant network compliance monitoring or acquiring operations
    • PCI DSS, ADC (Account Data Compromise)
  • Background in: 
    • Payments operations
    • Fraud / Rules in payments context (not required but helpful)
  • Experience improving or optimizing compliance workflows or tracking processes

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not a traditional TPRM / vendor risk / IT GRC role
  • Not focused on cybersecurity frameworks (NIST, ISO) as primary work
  • Not strategy-heavy-this is a hands-on operational role

Team & Leadership

  • Reports to Director - Sponsorship Oversight (Payments Risk)
  • Team operates in a high-growth, high-volume environment
  • Strong cross-functional exposure across Payments, Risk, and Compliance

Why Join Citizens

  • Recognized as a Best Place to Work (2026) and Fortune Top 100 Company
  • Part of Reimagine the Bank (RTB) - a multi-year transformation to modernize technology, simplify operations, and empower teams
  • Opportunity to build deep expertise in payments and network compliance, a highly specialized and in-demand domain

Hours & Work Schedule

  • Hours per Week: 40
  • Work Schedule: Monday - Friday
  • Hybrid, 4 days on site from a Citizens corporate office, 1 day remote
  • Work Location Options: This role can sit at ANY Citizens Hub where there is capacity, including:
