This individual will lead investigations and strategic initiatives, identify emerging risks and control gaps, influence stakeholders, and serve as a subject matter expert within the Payment Abuse organization.\nAt LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.\nKey Responsibilities\nLead complex payment fraud and abuse investigations end to end: find root causes and control gaps, and drive remediation to closure.\n\nMonitor fraud and chargeback performance against payment network and regulatory threshold, investigate the drivers, and lead remediation when performance trends toward a threshold.\n\nUse SQL and data analysis to surface emerging fraud trends, define risk metrics and KPIs, and turn findings into operational and product improvements.\n\nDesign and strengthen fraud controls, monitoring frameworks, and tooling, including finding opportunities for automation and ML-assisted detection.\n\nStrengthen operational rigor by standardizing and documenting SOPs, investigation playbooks, and escalation criteria across the team.\n\nPartner with our vendor partner on payments workflows by setting escalation criteria, defining quality signals, and making sure SOPs are applied consistently.\n\nPartner with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Payments, Operations, and external payment partners to resolve complex payment-risk challenges.\n\nServe as the escalation point for high-risk cases, and mentor analysts as the team's subject matter expert.\n\nOwn initiatives from problem identification through implementation and impact measurement, communicating effectively and operating effectively in ambiguous environments.\n\nContribute to operational strategy, regional coverage planning, and the long-term Payment Abuse roadmap.\n\n Basic Qualifications\n5+ years of experience in payment fraud, payment abuse, payments risk, or a related field, including experience leading complex fraud, chargeback, or dispute investigations.\n\n3+ years of experience with payment processors, acquirers, card-network rules, fraud-monitoring programs, chargeback programs, or scheme-compliance and remediation initiatives (VAMP, Mastercard, Auspaynet).\n\n3+ years of experience designing or enhancing fraud controls, monitoring frameworks, and risk mitigation strategies supporting payment abuse prevention, chargeback management, or scheme-compliance programs.\n\n3+ years of hands-on SQL and data-analysis experience, including analyzing large datasets, identifying fraud trends, defining risk metrics or KPIs, and translating findings into operational or product improvements.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience operating in a global, high-volume digital payments environment.\n\nExperience with alternative payment methods and regional ecosystems, such as SEPA, iDEAL, ACH, and digital wallets.\n\nTrack record of influencing product, policy, or platform changes to reduce abuse risk.\n\nExperience maturing an existing function by formalizing processes, raising quality standards, or evolving its operating model.\n\nExperience overseeing work delivered by vendors or managed service providers.\n\nExperience mentoring analysts in a payments risk, fraud, or Trust & Safety organization.\n\nSuggested Skills\nPayment & Fraud Abuse\nPayments Risk\nScheme Compliance & Risk Management\nChargebacks & Disputes\nFraud Investigation\nRoot-Cause Analysis\nSQL & Data Analysis\nControl Design\nRisk Monitoring & Remediation\nProcess Optimization\nVendor Oversight\nCross-Functional Leadership\nStakeholder Influence\nMentorship\n India Disability Policy\nLinkedIn is an equal employment opportunity employer offering opportunities to all job seekers, including individuals with disabilities.
