About the Role:

As a Fraud Operations Specialist, you will join a growing Fraud Ops team and perform regular fraud investigations to detect bad actors and improve user experience for legitimate customers. Through your investigations, you will detect trends in fraud and abuse and find new opportunities to positively impact Extend’s internal processes. This role requires direct experience with fraud and abuse operations (preferably in an eCommerce setting), an understanding of fraud concepts, communication skills to work with cross functional stakeholders, and knowledge of spreadsheet and data processing software. 

What You Will Be Doing:

• Real-Time Claim Review: Review claims in real time for potential cases of fraud/abuse, leveraging your information gathering and communication skills to ensure you have sufficient evidence to make a decision, and providing valuable feedback for Extend’s risk models.
• Risk Score Judgments: Review customer behavior and incidents using internal and external data and independently make decisions on customer risk. During the ramp-up period, you will only make judgments on risk scores; however, afterwards, you will also have the power to recommend denials and approvals for claims.
• Fraud Investigations and Subject Matter Expertise: Bring your own experience to perform fraud investigations and deliver insights on emerging trends for fraud/abuse.
• Follow Procedure: Take ownership of each investigation and diligently follow all regulatory and departmental practices and procedures, making independent decisions based on facts and evidence, and reporting any non-standard escalations to your manager. Attend regular meetings and training for Fraud Operations best practices.
