The company

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.

The work

What you'll do

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.

The work

Responsibilities

• Lead complex global programs, from initial scoping to design and execution and work on high-impact strategic initiatives
• Collaborate with multiple stakeholders across Risk Operations, Risk Product, Risk Eng, and other stakeholder teams (e.g., Policy, Data Science) to prioritize and maximize the impact of your projects
• Design and launch programs that lead to step-change improvements in our operational processes and business outcomes
• Serve as the Risk Operations expert and partner closely with our cross-functional stakeholders to scope and execute large projects to create operational efficiencies and ensure operational readiness
• Embody our Operating Principles and foster our values and culture
