ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Training Lead, Risk Operations to join our growing Risk Operations team in New York.

You will partner closely with BPO training leads to align on content, track completion and impact, and drive continuous improvement in how our teams learn and perform.

This role is ideal for someone with direct experience building and governing training programs in a disputes, fraud, or risk operations environment who understands what it takes to drive consistency across distributed teams.
