The posting

We are looking for an experienced Risk Strategy Leader to lead the design and execution of our end-to-end risk control framework across both fiat and crypto ecosystems.

This role owns fraud prevention, AML strategy, and fund flow risk management, covering the full lifecycle from fiat on/off ramps to on-chain transactions. The ideal candidate can trace and assess end-to-end fund flows, identify suspicious patterns, and drive clear risk decisions and account actions.

This role is not a regulatory-facing MLRO/compliance role, but will work closely with the Philippines (PH) Risk & AML team to ensure strong local execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and drive the overall fraud prevention and AML strategy across fiat and crypto
  • Design strategies across the full lifecycle: onboarding, login, fiat deposits/withdrawals, trading, and crypto transfers
  • Identify and mitigate risks such as payment fraud, account takeover, mule activity, scams, and money laundering
  • Build unified strategies that connect user behavior, transaction activity, and fund flows (fiat + on-chain)
  • Balance risk control with user experience and operational efficiency
  • Design and optimize risk strategies for fiat on-ramp and off-ramp flows (bank transfers, e-wallets, payment rails)
  • Monitor and assess incoming and outgoing fiat transactions for fraud and AML risks
  • Define review, approval, and escalation mechanisms for high-risk transactions
  • Work closely with payment partners and internal teams to manage risk exposure
  • Analyze and trace end-to-end fund flows across fiat and crypto
  • Identify suspicious patterns such as layering, structuring, mule networks, and fraud-linked flows
  • Make or guide decisions on account-level actions (e.g., allow, block, restrict, freeze, escalate)
  • Build frameworks for consistent and explainable risk decision-making
  • Leverage and optimize Elliptic to strengthen on-chain monitoring and AML capabilities
  • Translate blockchain intelligence into actionable risk strategies (e.g., scam flows, high-risk wallets)
  • Integrate Elliptic signals into internal systems for automated decision-making
  • Evaluate other tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM) where needed
  • Lead the design of scalable risk infrastructure, including rule engines, decision engines, and case management systems
  • Build unified systems that support fraud, AML, and fund flow monitoring
  • Drive real-time decisioning and reduce reliance on manual processes
  • Identify emerging fraud and AML typologies using data analysis
  • Define and track key metrics (fraud loss, detection rate, false positives, operational efficiency)
  • Implement testing frameworks (A/B testing, rule tuning, segmentation)
  • Build and lead teams across risk strategy, fraud operations, and AML operations
  • Work closely with PH Risk & AML team for execution and local alignment
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Operations globally

Requirements

  • 8+ years in fraud risk, AML, payments risk, or risk strategy, with 3+ years in leadership
  • Strong experience in payments, crypto exchanges, or fintech platforms
  • Proven experience managing fiat transaction risk and/or payment fraud
  • Deep expertise in anti-fraud (ATO, payment fraud, scams) and AML
  • Strong understanding of fiat transaction flows, payment systems, and risk controls
  • Ability to trace fund flows across fiat and crypto and identify suspicious patterns
  • Experience making or guiding account-level risk decisions (block/freeze/restrict)
  • Experience designing scalable risk strategies and rule systems
  • Hands-on experience with Elliptic (or similar tools like Chainalysis / TRM)
  • Ability to translate tool outputs into risk decision logic
  • Strong data skills (SQL required, Python preferred)
  • Strong leadership and execution capability across functions
  • Experience working with regional or distributed teams
  • Fluent in English
  • Experience with both fiat payments risk and crypto risk
  • Experience analyzing complex fund flows (multi-hop, cross-channel)
  • Familiarity with Southeast Asia / Philippines market
  • CAMS or similar certifications

What We’re Looking For

  • A full-stack risk leader across fraud, AML, and payments
  • Someone who can trace money end-to-end (fiat → crypto → fiat)
  • A decision-maker who can translate analysis into clear account actions
  • A builder who can turn strategies into scalable systems
  • A partner who can work effectively with PH teams

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
