I’m a Trust & Safety and Fraud Investigation specialist protecting marketplace integrity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Trust & Safety and Fraud Investigation specialist focused on protecting marketplace integrity through IP enforcement, fraud investigation, and risk-based decision-making at scale. I bring 6+ years of experience, including nearly 6 years at Amazon, where high-volume accuracy and policy quality are non-negotiable.
I specialize in high-accuracy investigations: managing complex IP and brand protection cases, validating documentation, and enforcing compliance policies in fast-paced global environments. I’ve maintained consistent performance—176+ cases resolved weekly with a 97% accuracy rate—and I’ve been trusted as a Subject Matter Expert and quality reference for my team.
My work spans IP fraud and brand protection operations, document authentication, and AML/KYC compliance frameworks. I’m comfortable owning processes like seller application evaluation, invoice review, and product authenticity checks, while aligning decisions with platform standards and audit-ready evidence.
I thrive in cross-functional, multicultural environments and bring fluency in English, Spanish, and Italian, with additional language capability supporting pan-European operations. I’m currently open to remote-first roles in Trust & Safety, Fraud Investigation, and risk/compliance work where I can use data-informed approaches and measurable outcomes to drive improvement.
