We are hiring a Risk Operations Specialist!
As a Risk Operations Specialist at Breeze, you’ll be at the front line of safeguarding our payments ecosystem. You’ll help identify, monitor, and mitigate fraud across card payments and crypto onramp/offramp transactions, ensuring a secure and seamless experience for our users and merchants. This role sits at the intersection of risk, operations, and product—perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys combining analytical problem-solving with operational execution.

Analyze, monitor, and prevent fraud across both card and crypto transactions, at user and transaction levels.
Use internal risk tools and platforms (including Sift) to label, track, and manage high-risk users and transactions.
Investigate suspicious activity and escalate potential fraud or compliance cases when necessary.
Collaborate closely with merchants, payment partners, and internal teams to refine risk management strategies.
Partner with Product Operations to respond to risk-related customer inquiries and manage user concerns.
Work with engineers to provide product feedback and request new features that enhance our risk detection capabilities.
Support the ongoing development and automation of risk processes and playbooks.
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of experience in risk management, fraud prevention, or compliance, ideally within payments, fintech, or financial services.
Strong attention to detail and sound judgment—critical for identifying and mitigating risk effectively.
Familiarity with payment gateways, banks, or high-risk merchant categories (e.g., gaming, travel, hospitality) is a plus.
Experience using fraud detection tools like Sift or similar systems (e.g., Riskified, Feedzai, or Forter) is a bonus.
Excellent communication, analytical, and decision-making skills.
A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently and collaborate cross-functionally.
