London, GB · Full-time · £90,000 – £120,000

About this role

Ebury is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead fraud prevention across our financial products. In this critical role, you will safeguard customers and assets by developing a comprehensive product strategy to combat evolving fraud threats. You will design and implement best-in-class, customer-centric fraud controls that stop fraud before money leaves.

Your day-to-day will involve conducting in-depth research on emerging fraud trends and attacker methodologies, balancing growth versus risk trade-offs. You will own fraud controls across transactional fraud, document fraud, and behavioural anomalies, detecting abnormal user behaviour across onboarding, authentication, and payment journeys. You will translate control gaps into a clear, actionable roadmap for fiat and crypto transactions, card spends, and internal processes.

You will work closely with Operations, Compliance, Engineering, Data Science, and Security teams to ensure controls are effective and aligned with company direction. Partnering with Data Science on predictive AI models and with Security on account compromise and abuse patterns will be key. This role reports to the Head of Financial Crime Intelligence Product.

This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on Ebury's security posture and drive innovation at the forefront of fraud prevention. The role is ideal for someone passionate about staying ahead of trends, adapting quickly to changing regulations and emerging fraud patterns. Ebury fosters an environment where everyone can feel they belong, valued, and empowered to succeed.
