Analytics Engineer (Fraud Prevention & ONB)

at  SumUp

ABOUT THE TEAM AND THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a new team member for our fraud prevention team! Our team focuses on detecting and preventing financial, legal, and reputational fraud using advanced analytics tools. The team consists of two sub-areas, OPS and Analytics. OPS is responsible for detecting and managing fraud cases, while Analytics plays a role as a data enabler and executes high-impact projects for the area.
This role will be primarily focused on the Analytics area, with a specific emphasis on our databases (data enabler, models), and executing high-impact projects related to automation. The main goal will be to generate impact on our main objectives, such as reducing chargebacks and friction, working closely with our Data Analyst to receive guidance and collaborate towards a common direction.
We have recently merged our Onboarding and Risk & Fraud functions into one team - ONB and Fraud Prevention. This presents an exciting opportunity for us to leverage the synergies between the two teams. By adopting an analytics approach, we aim to make onboarding a more efficient and seamless operation, while also using it as a crucial tool for fraud prevention.
While the focus of this position will be on fraud prevention, we expect that the role will also involve responsibilities related to onboarding, with a strong emphasis on leading the team towards flawless execution (automation, data enablement and KPIs).

KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TEAM

We are LATAM, responsible for Chile, Peru and Colombia. As an anti-fraud team, our focus is always on the business, aiming to minimize friction subject to healthy levels of fraud that allow us to ensure a successful operation. This particular role belongs to the Analytics team but will be in constant communication with the OPS team, looking for ways to improve current processes or create new ones that help us improve results or optimize processes by saving time.
As LATAM tribe, we have a close relationship with the team in Brazil, who have a higher volume of transactions and a large team with whom we must continue to work together to take advantage of these synergies. Additionally, we are in weekly contact with the European and global teams, with whom we work along to develop products that include LATAM. These relationships are very important, as all these countries have already gone through many of the products we will be incorporating, so there is a lot of learning from which we can leverage.
