We’re looking for a Product Leader to join our Trust & Safety team to help us defeat spam and fraud on our communications platform while building more value for our community of users and our company.

You will be responsible for building a cohesive vision and product strategy, for verifying the identity of our users and blocking fraudulent users who attempt to abuse our service.

You’ll play a key role in designing new fraud detection methods and tools, evaluating and integrating 3rd party technologies and vendors and working with our Data Scientists and engineers to help build and integrate AI, Machine Learning and 3rd party technologies that proactively detect and prevent negative behavior on the platform.

Additionally, you’ll work with other product managers, our care and operations team, the legal team and senior leaders to build a robust fraud detection and prevention system.

• Lead a cross-functional team of engineering, design, research, data science, care, operations, and more to detect, mitigate and prevent fraud and abuse.
• Drive product definition, strategy, and long-term vision for Trust & Safety initiatives impacting the user experience, company costs, and monetization across platforms (Android, iOS and desktop).

• Understand financial and customer-impacting issues related to fraud to make sound business and customer-obsessed decisions.
• Build, measure, and iterate rapidly using A/B testing and other analytical tools.
• Communicate your vision, plans, and their benefits to key stakeholders across the company.
