About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and lead epay's global fraud strategy, systems roadmap and policy framework across all business lines, adapting controls to each line's distinct fraud vectors and risk profile.
Design and continuously improve gift card fraud detection and prevention controls targeting elder/granny scams, retailer-rack manipulation, and gift-card money-laundering and cash-out vectors.
Own the fraud risk framework for epay's open-loop prepaid card programs, including Giftzy and Prezzy in Australia, New Zealand and India.
Partner with epay's European payment acquiring business to manage merchant and transaction-level fraud risk, chargeback exposure and Visa/Mastercard scheme compliance.
Lead the build-vs-buy evaluation for epay's core fraud technology, including Skylight/Fraud.net and alternative platforms or architectures.
Serve as fraud risk lead for strategic initiatives related to card issuing and agentic payments.
Develop and maintain global fraud policies, typology libraries, detection rules and risk appetite thresholds.
Manage relationships with Fraud.net and other third-party fraud vendors, holding them accountable for performance, detection efficacy and service levels.
Build and report consolidated fraud KPIs and metrics to Executive Management and escalate material risks or significant incidents.
Partner with Compliance/AML, Product, Engineering and regional business leaders to embed fraud controls into products and markets.
Build, mentor and lead a global fraud team as the function scales.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Computer Science or a related field; advanced degree a plus.
8+ years of payment fraud experience, with direct, hands-on exposure to card issuing (prepaid and/or open-loop), payment acquiring, or gift card/stored-value fraud — not solely AML or general compliance.
Demonstrated experience selecting, implementing or managing fraud detection platforms and making build-vs-buy technology decisions.
Working knowledge of card scheme fraud rules and liability frameworks (Visa, Mastercard), open-loop prepaid issuing risk, elder/scam fraud typologies, and money-laundering typologies specific to gift cards and stored value.
Experience supporting large-scale issuing or platform partnerships with major technology companies (e.g., Apple, Google) is strongly preferred.
Professional certification in fraud, payments or financial crime (CFE, CFCS, CAMS or similar) is preferred.
Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills; comfort working directly with fraud rules, detection logic and case data, not only policy documents.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, including reporting to executive management.
Demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage vendor relationships and budgets.
High level of integrity, sound judgement and attention to detail.
