Verifications Associate at Faire, using transaction and social data to detect fraud and protect the marketplace.
What I'm looking for
At Faire, I verify retailers and brands using social media, geolocation data, and supporting documents to protect the marketplace from fraud. I also review account balances and credit limits, and flag suspicious activity using fraud monitoring systems and transactional data.
I manage verification and risk cases in Zendesk, resolving them within service level agreements and documenting decisions for audit trails and compliance. I contribute to risk policy, procedure, and tool improvements, and work with Sales and Support to streamline communication.
At Glovo, I investigated customer transactions for account takeover, friendly fraud, theft, and other risks. I cancelled fraudulent transactions before processing and recommended system improvements to prevent future fraud.
Earlier, I managed teams at Booking.com, Spabreaks.com, and Interval International, supporting performance, recruitment, onboarding, and coaching. I’m a native Portuguese speaker, have worked in international teams across London and Barcelona, and am relocating to Portugal to seek a new role there.
