Fraud & Chargeback Operations Manager

The Challenge

There’s no denying it: all online marketplaces can provide opportunities for fraudsters and malicious actors. Our ability to track, record, and combat fraud at scale is required to serve our creators needs. Eventbrite is growing at a massive rate, and our team is keeping up with the volume. In 2019 we distributed more than 300 million tickets to more than 4 million experiences; processing hundreds of millions of tickets comes with a huge amount of exposure, and we’re charged with keeping it secure. We’ve built machine learning systems that can crunch through large amounts of data and make real time decisions, and great tools that help us parse through and visualize behavioral data, but at the heart of it all this is the ability to make the right call at the right time by expert analysts, data scientists and operational specialists. Our job is to protect our customers and Eventbrite from fraud and malicious acts, while ensuring our technology and process is seamless and delightful. 

The Team

The Fraud & Chargebacks team is a small group with diverse backgrounds. We are a crucial part of the larger PPO team (Policy & Platform Operations) who serves a critical role in allowing our community to experience Eventbrite in a way that fosters trust, safety, diversity, and inclusiveness, while also internally managing certain legal and compliance risks associated with the Eventbrite platform.  We are analysts, operations specialists, data scientists and engineers, with different quantitative and qualitative analytical skills. Our varied experiences help us look at the same problem sets in different ways to extract real insight. We work cross-functionally with teams around the company to solve whatever challenges come our way.

The Role

You’ll lead a team of specialists in actioning specific cases of suspected fraud, spam and abuse, while partnering with Risk Detection & Analytics to ensure our detection mechanisms are continuously up to date, best in class, and surfacing the right issues and data for your team’s review.
