We are searching for a Team Lead for our Fraud team. This role is the main driver of team results daily through tracking and being responsible for the performance of assigned departmental productivity and quality targets. You ensure team tasks are achieved by providing specific direction to the front line in Chicago and cursory mentorship to the Consumer Fraud Team in North America. This team and the lead will work to ensure company policies and guidelines are being upheld. They need to identify issues, develop a strategy, then implement those solutions to their problems while not requiring constant input from a supervisor, but consistent with overall direction as established by the North American Consumer Fraud Manager and Global Head of Consumer Fraud and Payments.
The Team Lead should use either the resources provided and/or delegate assignments to the team and themselves as needed. This should be done with a confident and encouraging attitude in order to instill collective team spirit. In this role requires your time will be split with 70% working on operational issues, 20% communicating, and 10% of your time reporting.
We’re a “best of both worlds” kind of company. We’re big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We’re curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
