About the role

As a Risk Operations Analyst on the Strategic Supportability Operations team, you will investigate and assess complex, gray-area user business cases that require deep risk judgment and tailored solutions. You will go beyond standard procedures to understand the full risk profile of users, develop custom recommendations, and collaborate across internal teams to drive cohesive, well-reasoned decisions.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, fraud, financial operations, or a closely related field in a fast-moving environment
  • Demonstrated ability to navigate gray-area and non-binary decision-making in complex risk environments
  • Strong critical thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize multiple data sources into a coherent risk narrative
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally on complex problems and driving alignment across teams with competing priorities
  • Ability to engage directly with users—including in difficult or sensitive conversations—with empathy, clarity, and professionalism
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to articulate complex risk findings to varied audiences
