Fraud Operations Specialist

Melbourne, Australia Square Full time

**Company Description**
Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions - to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

The global Square Risk team works to protect Square and Square sellers and enable safe growth across our ecosystem. Square's Australian Risk team seeks an experienced Fraud Operations Specialist to reduce transaction fraud within merchant commerce. You will perform a detailed analysis of high-risk purchases/transactions in real-time queues to identify unauthorised transactions across different types of payments.
You will analyse risk patterns and communicate with merchants in cases where additional information is required. You will work with global and local Square teams, including Compliance and Customer Success. You are interested in fraud investigation and the financial payments industry and are curious about how world events impact risk. You will demonstrate a high degree of empathy for the businesses and people we serve and bring creativity and structured thinking towards our procedures while maintaining a positive seller experience. You will report to the APAC Risk Lead, based in Melbourne.

**You will**:

- Monitor real-time queues and review high-risk transactions
- Use policies to determine if transactions are fraudulent or high-risk
- Work high-level escalations from partner teams, including Sales, Legal, Compliance and Credit Risk
- Partner with Risk Policy to investigate trends and complete team projects
- Advocate for customers by identifying trends and suggesting improvements to Square processes and products
- Build knowledge of risk at Square and the broader payments industry
- Work some Australian state public holidays

**Qualifications** You have**:

- Some experience in a risk related role, including direct customer support
- Internet research, Google Docs, and overall computer skills
- An ability to work autonomously and within groups to drive execution
- Undergraduate degree or equivalent experience

**Nice to Have**:

- SQL experience
- Experience mitigating online fraud, such as account takeover, phishing and online card testing
- Experience in card issuer disputes and card transaction monitoring
