About the team

The Risk Operations Enablement team sits within the Risk Operations org and is responsible for building and operating the core business and strategic programs that are critical to Risk Operations. These programs range from operational excellence initiatives to high-priority, cross-functional initiatives that typically require partnering across broader Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams. More specifically, we both lead initiatives to make step changes in the Risk User Experience and devise and execute strategies to ensure that a wide range of missing-critical business processes are effective at achieving our dual goals of preventing bad actors from exploiting our systems and delivering an exceptional user experience for legitimate users.

Key Responsibilities

You'll partner cross-functionally across Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and Risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams to lead ambiguous, high-priority problem spaces that change the trajectory of Risk Operations. You'll also partner across Risk Operations to deliver and measure processes that enable operational excellence at scale within the Risk Operations org.
