Head of Fraud at Polymarket, New York, NY

Head of Fraud at Polymarket in New York, NY. $500,000 to $600,000 a year. Apply with swipeandhired.

About the role
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market, and trust in every account, deposit and trade is core to the product. As Head of Fraud, you will own Polymarket's fraud risk end to end: defining the strategy, building preventative and detective controls, and making sure every finding is resolved.
Your scope covers first-party fraud (customers abusing the platform themselves) and third-party fraud (bad actors targeting our users and systems, including account takeover). You will hold the bar for what good looks like both commercially and in the eyes of our regulators, and you will move fast.
You will partner with and influence Product owners and engineers you don't manage build and ship most fraud controls, so influencing them is critical to success in this role. You'll also work closely with Compliance, Legal, Data, Payments, Customer Support and Security.
