With 20 offices across six continents and London as our HQ, we’re shaping the future of fintech - and we’re just getting started.

As an Analyst I at Checkout.com, you are the frontline defense in our mission to build a world-class financial ecosystem. This isn't just a monitoring role; it’s a high-impact position where you act as a guardian of our platform. Operating within a 24/7 shift system, you will utilize real-time data to hunt for fraudulent patterns, safeguard our customers, and ensure the integrity of every transaction that passes through our rails.

You will report to the Risk Operations Manager and serve as a subject-matter expert in card transaction monitoring. We are looking for someone who thrives under pressure, makes lightning-fast decisions based on data, and views every fraud attempt as a challenge to be solved.

What you will be doing:

• Execution & Delivery Manage a standard workload of alerts and investigations with increasing independence. You are expected to deliver accurate results within strict SLAs, document outcomes consistently, and escalate workload concerns or blockers promptly to ensure seamless operations.

• Problem Solving & Analysis Conduct routine analysis of transactional data to identify recurring fraud trends and anomalies. By applying established procedures and using specialized monitoring tools, you will detect well-defined problems and document findings clearly using team templates.

• Communication & Collaboration Provide concise updates and case summaries to stakeholders and team members. You will work closely with your peers to ensure smooth handovers and maintain professional relationships, adjusting your approach based on feedback and team needs.

• Domain Knowledge & Decision Making Apply a solid understanding of fraud monitoring tools and compliance policies to make decisions within defined parameters. You will resolve routine cases independently while seeking guidance from senior staff for complex exceptions or ambiguous issues.

• Process Improvement & Projects Identify daily inefficiencies or bottlenecks and suggest small-scale improvements to your manager. Additionally, you will manage segments of small projects or initiatives, ensuring they are completed on time and to the required quality standards.

Shift Requirements & Schedule

24/7 Operational Coverage: Due to the nature of global fraud monitoring, this role requires full participation in a 24/7 shift system. You will work a Panama Shift Model (2-2-3) consisting of 12-hour shifts, ensuring continuous business continuity and comprehensive coverage across days, nights, and weekends.

About You:

• Experienced & Educated: Bachelor’s degree in finance, Economics, Mathematics, or Risk Management with at least 1 year of experience in a similar analytical or fraud-focused role.

• The "Fraud Sense": You have a natural curiosity for identifying patterns. Prior experience in credit card fraud detection or the e-commerce landscape is a significant advantage.

• Process-Obsessed: You hate inefficiency. You are always looking for ways to simplify workflows and automate manual tasks.

• Resilient & Calm: You maintain composure during high-pressure incidents and can navigate tight deadlines without losing accuracy.

• Communicator: Native or professional fluency in English is required; proficiency in French is a strong competitive plus.

• Tech-Savvy: You pick up new risk monitoring tools quickly and are comfortable navigating complex internal systems.
