What you'll do
As a Fraud Strategy Associate, you’ll own the end-to-end integrity of Brex’s fraud and risk ecosystem across credit, deposit, and card payment rails.

You’ll design your own solutions, see fraud across every product vertical, and partner with Risk, Data Science, Engineering, and Product to build prevention into the product itself.
