The Head of Fraud Operations runs the operational engine of fraud prevention across Collectors' Marketplace, Power Packs, and emerging Financial Services lending business. This senior leader owns real-time and manual-review decisioning, fraud investigations, and AML alert operations; tunes rules and partners with Data Science on models; and builds the team, tooling, SLAs, and metrics that hold fraud losses down without imposing undue customer friction. The role manages a team, reports to the Head of Risk & Compliance, and works closely with Disputes Operations on fraud-related chargebacks and with Trust & Safety on enforcement.

• Multi-typology investigations. Lead investigations into payment fraud, account takeover, seller / listing fraud, counterfeit and authenticity abuse, collusion and shill activity, promotion abuse, and laundering of value through high-worth collectibles.

• SAR support. Prepare and support suspicious-activity reporting and maintain investigation documentation to AML and audit standards.

Tools, Vendors & Reporting

• Tooling & signals. Manage fraud, identity, and device-intelligence tooling and vendors; evaluate and onboard new signals and platforms.

• Metrics & continuous improvement. Define and report fraud loss rate, false-positive / decline rate, detection rate, review SLA, and recovery; drive continuous improvement against targets.

• Team building. Build, lead, and develop the fraud-operations team; scale headcount and managed-services support in line with volume growth.
