Fraud Strategy Analyst (All Levels)

Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.

The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.

The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.

If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.

About the Role

As a member of Ramp's Fraud Strategy team, you will leverage data to develop and optimize fraud strategies, including underwriting (KYC/B, OFAC, fraud risk) and customer management (payment, transactions, account take-over) strategies. This role requires an understanding of fraud concepts & data sources, fluency with data, and the ability to drive a broad set of projects fairly independently. The role also requires the ability to work with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, operations, finance, marketing, sales, and design) to influence and execute risk strategies.

• Deep dive into individual fraud events to perform root cause analyses, and combine the insights with a data-driven approach to develop fraud defenses

• Partner with product, engineering, and design teams to execute fraud policies and features

• Implement fraud risk metric monitoring by researching/resolving risk events, and developing levers that mitigate risk factors

• Partner with data scientists to build and leverage fraud risk models in Ramp’s risk policy

• Drive Ramp’s customer experience by diving deep into the flow of funds (repayments, chargebacks, etc.) 

• Research emerging underwriting and fraud trends to innovate on Ramp's decision systems and policies

What You Need

• Minimum 2 years of experience in fraud risk management or quantitative strategy role

• Minimum 2 years of experience using SQL, Python, or R for data retrieval and manipulation
