Director of Product, Risk & Fraud, Payments Platform at Flywire1

The Opportunity: As the Director of Product, Risk & Fraud, Payments Platform, you are the product leader for Flywire’s defensive ecosystem. You serve as the strategic product counterpart to our Business Risk Directors. While they define the "what" (risk policies and appetites), you build the "how", leveraging machine learning, real-time data pipelines, and third-party integrations to automate fraud detection and credit monitoring. Your goal is to eliminate "manual touch" wherever possible, creating a frictionless payer experience that is simultaneously ironclad against sophisticated global threats. What You’ll Do • Platform Vision: Define and execute the roadmap for a unified Risk & Fraud engine that supports all of Flywire’s payment modalities across our global merchant base. • Automated Underwriting & Scoring: Partner with the Director of Credit Risk to translate manual due diligence into automated credit-scoring models. Build the tools that allow for real-time account monitoring and "Early Warning Systems." • Intelligent Fraud Decisioning: Partner with the Director of Fraud Risk to build real-time rule engines and ML-driven decisioning. You will own the integration of biometric, behavioral, and 3DS tools into the checkout flow. • Internal Tooling: Build the "War Room" dashboard. Design the internal interfaces that our Risk Operations teams use to investigate alerts, manage cases, and orchestrate rapid remediation during high-stakes fraud events. • Data Architecture: Collaborate with Engineering and Data Science to ensure our risk models have access to the richest, cleanest global payment data possible. You will own the "Precision/Recall" product metrics for our automated systems. • Scalable Compliance: Work with localized payment methods to ensure our risk controls meet regional regulatory requirements without adding unnecessary friction.
