Brex is an intelligent finance platform enabling companies to spend smarter and move faster across 200+ markets. The Operations team owns credit, fraud, money movement, and payments—protecting customers and the company at the intersection of product, design, engineering, and customer success.
As a Fraud Strategy Associate, you will own the end-to-end integrity of Brex's fraud and risk ecosystem across credit, deposit, and card payment rails. You'll identify patterns, trace root causes, and build detection logic, automations, and reporting that keep fraud in check without adding friction for customers. You'll design solutions, see fraud across every product vertical, and partner with Risk, Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams to build prevention into the product itself.
Key responsibilities include:
**Strategic Analysis & Detection**
- Use SQL and Python to mine large-scale data and apply LLM-based tools to detect and automate identification of fraudulent patterns across credit, deposit, and card payment rails.
- Design and refine automated detection logic to proactively mitigate risk while maintaining a frictionless experience for legitimate customers.
- Stay ahead of industry trends and regulatory shifts to rapidly deploy new defensive strategies against novel fraud vectors.
**Operational Excellence & Process Ownership**
- Optimize internal processes for fraud investigations, ensuring operational discipline, case visibility, and high-fidelity documentation.
- Serve as the strategic bridge between Risk Leadership, Analytics, Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams to integrate fraud-prevention infrastructure into the core product lifecycle.
- Define and manage technical requirements for internal AI-driven tools and third-party risk-reduction platforms.
**Metrics, Reporting & Performance**
- Define and monitor KPIs such as false positive rates, fraud capture rates, and operational turnaround times.
- Build and maintain scalable reporting suites to provide real-time visibility into fraud exposure and program effectiveness for senior stakeholders.
- Conduct deep-dive post-mortems on fraud incidents to quantify financial impact and recommend structural process improvements.
