Compensation: Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus


We are partnering with a fast-growing, high-volume online gaming operator to appoint a VP of Fraud & Payments. This is a critical leadership role responsible for building, scaling, and optimizing the company’s fraud prevention and payments ecosystem across multiple products.

This is a hands-on, high-impact position for a proven leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and can transform fraud and payments into a strategic advantage, not just a cost center.

The Role

As VP of Fraud & Payments, you will lead the function end to end, overseeing fraud strategy, payment optimization, tools, and team management. You will build scalable systems that reduce fraud losses, increase payment approval rates, and enhance the customer experience.

Key Responsibilities
  • Own and lead the full fraud detection, investigation, and prevention strategy across the customer lifecycle, including registration, deposits, gameplay, redemptions, promotions, and KYC
  • Build, implement, and continuously optimize risk rules to detect and mitigate fraud patterns such as bonus abuse, multi-accounting, synthetic identity, and payment fraud
  • Drive payment performance by managing authorization rates, chargebacks, and dispute processes while optimizing relationships with payment processors and card networks
  • Lead decline analysis, BIN-level performance optimization, 3DS strategy, and chargeback representment programs
  • Own the KYC and identity verification framework, including thresholds, escalation workflows, and manual review processes
  • Evaluate, implement, and optimize fraud, identity, and payments tooling to ensure a scalable and proactive risk infrastructure
  • Build and lead a high-performing fraud and payments team, establishing KPIs, SOPs, and performance standards
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data, Compliance, and CX to reduce fraud, improve user experience, and support growth
  • Develop reporting and dashboards to track fraud loss, payment performance, and operational efficiency, and provide regular executive-level insights

Ideal Candidate Requirements
  • 7+ years of experience in fraud, payments, or risk within iGaming, online casino, sports betting, DFS, or similar high-volume digital environments
  • Proven track record of building or scaling fraud and payments functions from the ground up
  • Deep expertise in chargebacks, payment processing, card network rules, and fraud prevention strategies
  • Experience with KYC, identity verification systems, and fraud detection tools
  • Strong analytical and data-driven mindset with a hands-on leadership approach

Why Join The Team
  • Competitive base salary + bonus structure
  • Fully remote flexibility (North America or Europe-based)
  • Opportunity to build and lead a critical function from the ground up
  • High-visibility role with direct impact on revenue, risk, and growth
