We're building the bank of The Free, and protecting users and resolving fraud reliably is core to our mission. We're transforming Fraud Ops from a reactive function into an AI-led capability that gets faster, smarter, and more accurate with every case. That transformation needs one person to own it end-to-end. Up for this challenge? Kick off your application by taking our assessment and find out if bunq is your perfect match! 🕵️ Take Ownership As our Fraud Expert for Partner Reports, you'll own the end-to-end handling of every fraud case that reaches bunq through an external partner, from the individual report to the systemic fix to AI-led transformation.

You have hands-on experience handling complex fraud cases and escalations, including those raised by external partners. You know how to diagnose operational problems with data and drive permanent structural fixes, not workarounds.

About the role Chime's Financial Crimes team protects millions of members from money laundering, fraud, and the organized networks that target consumer financial platforms. We work in a bank-partner model: we run detection and investigation, and we escalate unusual activity to our bank partners, who hold the filing obligation. That means our written work product is read by outside parties, and the quality bar is correspondingly high. This is a senior individual contributor role.

Set the quality standard others calibrate to with defensible judgement calls. Move work across team boundaries without formal authority, and you are trusted to represent Financial Crimes to partners outside the function. Raise the ceiling of the people around you — through calibration, coaching, documentation, and the examples you set in your own casework. Improve the system, not just the case. Every hard investigation should leave behind something reusable: a control, a procedure, a detection change, or a documented typology. What you will own: Vendor Management. You will lead, and support, a team of analysts. Vendor team quality. You sample operations work, run calibration with partners, keep apprised of quality assurance trends, and hold quality and productivity expectations where they belong. Risk trend analysis. You understand AML and Fraud risks well enough to follow the pattern of unusual activity across accounts, devices, funding sources, counterparties, and behavioral patterns, and you can show the shape of a network in a way a non-investigator understands. Typology development. You document new and evo
