Fraud Investigator - Crypto

💰 £25k-£60k, depending on experience and location

📍 UK / Europe / Remote

Fanvue is one of the fastest-growing creator monetisation platforms globally. We're an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Fanvue has surpassed $200m+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.

As crypto usage on Fanvue's payment rails keeps growing, so does our exposure to crypto-specific fraud and financial crime. Recent cases have shown gaps in the Fraud team's crypto knowledge, and right now nobody on the team has dedicated crypto fraud or financial crime expertise. This role exists to build that capability from the ground up.

🎯 The Role

We're hiring Fanvue's first Fraud Investigator with dedicated crypto expertise, reporting to Head of Fraud. AI has taken our fraud detection as far as it can on crypto rails, what's missing is in-house subject matter expertise: someone who has used these investigation tools before, can set the strategy, and can train the rest of the team.

🚀 What You'll Do

• Lead on investigating cases of potential fraud or financial crime where crypto rails are involved, including payment fraud, account takeover, and money laundering typologies on crypto on/off-ramps

• Build out crypto-specific fraud investigation capability within the Fraud team: on-chain tracing methods, tooling, and documented process for crypto-related cases

• Train the wider Fraud team on crypto fraud red flags and typologies, so risk indicators get caught earlier in standard triage, not just by you

• Design how Fanvue prevents and detects crypto-related fraud and financial crime as the function matures

• Work directly with vendors to get the most out of crypto investigation tooling and data

• Support fraud and financial crime investigations where crypto isn't involved, as part of the wider Fraud team's caseload

• Lead on escalations to law enforcement where relevant

• Feed your expertise into loss prevention strategy across Fraud, product, and payments

👀 Who You Are

• 3+ years investigating fraud and/or financial crime with specific crypto/blockchain exposure, from an exchange, blockchain analytics firm, bank crypto desk, or law enforcement crypto unit

• A process creator and improver: you've played a role in designing or improving investigation techniques, not just following them

• Comfortable being the subject matter expert. As our first crypto-focused Fraud hire, you'll build the wider team's knowledge while acting as the go-to for other parts of the business (payments, payouts, product) wherever crypto risk shows up

• Familiar with crypto investigation tooling (e.g. Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic, etc.) and know how to get the most from it in a fraud prevention context

• High ownership: excited by a large, expanding remit, and not afraid to break new ground without an existing playbook

✨ You'll Thrive Here If

• You want to build a function from scratch rather than inherit one

• You're energised by being the go-to expert and enjoy teaching others what you know

• You like combining hands-on casework with process and systems design

• You're comfortable working across functions, Fraud, product, payments, to get crypto risk taken seriously

⚠️ You'll Struggle Here If

• You need an established playbook, team, or tooling already in place before you can be effective

• You'd rather stay purely hands-on and not upskill others

• You're not comfortable being the sole specialist accountable for a new risk area

🌍 Why Join Fanvue?

• Sunday Times Best Places to Work, two years running. We don't just say we have great culture, we prove it

• A genuine greenfield opportunity: build Fanvue's first in-house crypto fraud capability from scratch

• Direct exposure across Fraud, Payments, and Product as crypto usage grows

• AI-native: we are not bolting AI on, it's core to our product and how we work

• Remote-friendly across UK/Europe

• High annual leave flexibility

• Support with upskilling and development costs

• Benefits package including gym memberships, apps, and more we're actively building out
