Do you thrive on investigation, pattern recognition, and protecting both customers and the business from financial loss? We are looking for a meticulous and analytically driven Chargebacks Analyst to join our Payment Operations team. In this role, you will own the full chargeback and dispute lifecycle — from initial retrieval requests through representation— working directly with card networks, acquiring banks, and internal stakeholders to recover revenue and minimize losses. Beyond dispute resolution, you will play a key role in identifying fraud trends, strengthening our prevention posture, and building scalable processes that protect the integrity of our payments ecosystem. This is an entry-level position with significant growth potential for candidates who combine curiosity with operational rigor.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Dispute & Chargeback Management

• Own the end-to-end chargeback lifecycle across all card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover & PayPal) including retrieval requests, first chargebacks and second chargebacks.

• Prepare and submit timely, evidence-backed representment packages to maximize win rates and recover revenue on behalf of the business.

• Respond to retrieval requests and fulfillment inquiries within network-mandated timeframes to prevent automatic losses.

• Triage incoming disputes by reason code, dispute stage, and financial exposure to prioritize caseload effectively.

• Track and manage all open cases within the platform, ensuring no case ages past its response deadline.

• Analyze dispute outcomes to identify patterns in win/loss rates and refine representment strategies accordingly.

Fraud Investigation & Loss Prevention

• Investigate True Fraud, first-party misuse, and policy abuse patterns surfaced through chargeback filings and user behavior signals.

• Collaborate with the Risk and Trust & Safety teams to take enforcement actions on confirmed fraudulent accounts including blocks, account restrictions, and fund holds.

• Flag high-frequency or high-value dispute clusters to leadership as potential coordinated fraud or network-level compromise events.

• Support pre-emptive refund decisions where accepting a dispute is more cost-effective than representment, balancing recovery goals with operational efficiency.

• Maintain detailed case notes and fraud intelligence logs to support pattern analysis and future investigations.

Process Improvement & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of chargeback SOPs, decision trees, and representment templates.

• Partner with Engineering to surface friction points in the buyer and seller experience that contribute to dispute volumes.

• Provide operational input during payment processor or chargeback tool evaluations and onboarding.

• Collaborate with Customers to resolve escalated user-facing dispute queries and communicate expected resolution timelines.

• Proactively share chargeback trend intelligence with Fraud & Risk and Leadership to inform strategic decisions.

Within 12+ Months
