About the Job

Requirements

  • Significant product management experience in the digital sector, such as a consumer-facing platform, marketplace, mobility, e-commerce, classifieds, fintech, or another high-scale environment.
  • Proven experience owning trust-related products or problem spaces such as Trust & Safety, Fraud Prevention, Risk, Identity & Verification, Marketplace Integrity, Account Security, Abuse Prevention, Payments Risk, or Compliance Technology.
  • A track record of building scalable systems that proactively detect, prevent, and mitigate abuse, fraud, risk, or other trust-related issues rather than relying solely on manual or operational processes.
  • A strong analytical and data-driven mindset, with experience defining success metrics, evaluating impact, and making evidence-based prioritization decisions.
  • Experience partnering closely with Engineering, Data Science, Operations, Legal, Compliance, and other cross-functional stakeholders to deliver complex products in regulated or high-risk environments, including vendor management and collaboration.
  • Experience building, deploying, or working closely with machine learning, AI, risk scoring, decisioning, detection, recommendation, or automation systems.
  • Ability to balance user experience, marketplace growth, operational efficiency, and risk mitigation, making thoughtful trade-offs that protect users and the business.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, taking ownership of complex problem spaces, influencing senior stakeholders, and driving strategy and execution across multiple teams.
  • Strong core product skills that transfer across fraud domains, including the ability to quickly understand unfamiliar threat vectors and deliver solutions.
  • Well versed in building and iterating core Data Science products at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Trust & Safety product strategy and roadmap, translating business risk and user insight into a clear, prioritized plan.
  • Shift the function from reactive incident response to proactive, intelligence-driven fraud prevention by building the Risk Engine, data-signals intelligence, anomaly detection, and investigation tooling.
  • Ship AI-native Trust & Safety product experiences by partnering with Data Science and Engineering to design, prototype, and productionize real-time detection and decisioning systems using machine-learning models, large language models, and behavioral signals.
  • Balance fraud mitigation with growth protection, ensuring Trust & Safety interventions do not unnecessarily create friction for legitimate users or throttle marketplace supply and demand; make evidence-based trade-off decisions.
  • Define and track Trust & Safety success metrics, including fraud loss rates, false-positive and false-negative rates, time to resolution, user trust scores, and financial exposure; communicate impact in business terms to senior leadership.
  • Partner closely with Engineering leads, Data Science, Legal, Compliance, and Operations, holding shared accountability for outcomes and navigating competing priorities.
  • Build long-term instrumentation, monitoring, and evaluation capabilities to measure fraud rates, detection-model performance, and contributor and user impact at scale.
  • Establish business cases quantifying fraud losses and the return on investment of prevention investments; secure resources and drive data-grounded prioritization.
  • Ensure products and strategies meet local and regional compliance, legal, and security requirements across all markets.
  • Apply AI to product management work, including threat analysis, synthetic user research on abuse patterns, AI-assisted specification writing, and automated experimentation pipelines.
  • Represent Trust & Safety at the leadership level, presenting strategy, risk posture, and results clearly to executive audiences.

Desired Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with AI-powered trust or fraud products.
  • Experience building trust, risk, fraud, or safety products across multiple international markets and regulatory environments.
  • Familiarity with emerging regulations and industry trends affecting online platforms, digital marketplaces, payments, AI, and consumer trust.
