Uber

Senior Risk Analyst - Fraud, Abuse, and Security

Uber Overview

Uber’s Risk Team is at the forefront of one of the world’s biggest challenges. Every day we process millions of mobile transactions in over 75 different countries, while also issuing driver-partner payouts on weekly, and in some cases, daily basis. As we grow and rapidly expand our transaction base across emerging products, we face new and interesting situations that many companies have never encountered. Our goal is to deliver innovative risk management in the two-sided marketplace to maximize legitimate revenue and sustainable growth.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for an experienced fraud or risk professional who can successfully manage large projects across product, engineering, data science, finance, security, and operations stakeholders in a complex environment. As an owner of key loss metrics, you should have the analytics experience, intellectual curiosity, and resourcefulness to identify, measure, and mitigate new and emerging loss vectors. In this role, you will serve as the global subject matter expert and thought leader on techniques that mitigate risk of financial losses while also maintaining a positive user experience and enabling Uber to continue making big bold bets.
