Head of Risk managing and enhancing enterprise risk frameworks in corporate environments. Collaborating with leadership to ensure comprehensive governance and compliance across the organisation.
About the role
- Head of Fraud and Risk leading strategy and execution at First Circle, a FinTech company transforming access to credit for SMEs in the Philippines.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end fraud strategy including detection, investigation, and recovery. Oversee transaction monitoring, ATO prevention, and fraud modes relevant to the Philippine market (e.g. SIM swaps, document fraud, mule accounts).
- Work closely with compliance and internal audit to identify and understand our biggest risks. Partner with product, engineering and operations teams to implement solutions to protect against those risks. Where relevant you will also work closely with our engineering head of cybersecurity on data privacy and security.
- The role will be located in the Philippines and will report to Executive Leadership. Relocation and sponsorship will be considered.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience across fraud and risk, in a tech company.
- In an ideal case, you will have worked for a fintech company and you are familiar with the risk and regulatory landscape for non-bank financial institutions. You don’t need to have direct experience with the Philippines regulatory landscape specifically, but it is an added bonus if you do.
- Ability to work cross-functionally. Experience partnering with engineering, product, operations and compliance teams.
- This is an individual contributor role to start with, with the opportunity to build out a small team in the future. We are looking for someone who is comfortable doing a lot of the work themselves, not just directing others.
- Ability to roll up your sleeves and get things done. You are not just a layer of oversight - you are used to actually implementing solutions to solve critical problems. You will be expected to be hands-on, in the details, and executing to high standards.
Benefits
- Join a team with a deeply collaborative culture! Learn more here: https://www.firstcircle.ph/careers
