MoneyLion’s mission is to give everyone the power to make their best financial decisions. We pride ourselves on serving the many, not the few; providing confidence through guidance, choice, personalization; and shortening the distance to an informed action.

In our go-to money app for consumers, we deliver curated content on finance and related topics, through a tailored feed that engages people to learn and share. People take control of their finances with our innovative financial products and marketplace - including our full-fledged suite of features to save, borrow, spend, and invest - seamlessly bringing together the best offers and content from MoneyLion and our 1,100+ Enterprise Partner network, together in one experience.

Established in 2013, MoneyLion connects millions of people with the financial products and content they need, when and where they need it.

About the Role

The Customer Advocate, Trust and Safety, plays a critical role in safeguarding MoneyLion’s customers and the integrity of our organization by investigating claims of identity theft, unauthorized charges, account takeovers, and other fraud-related concerns. This position requires a highly analytical, proactive, and detail-oriented individual who thrives in a dynamic environment and demonstrates a strong commitment to regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction.

As a key member of the Trust and Safety team, you will independently handle investigations, collaborate with cross-functional partners, and contribute to improving fraud detection and prevention processes. We are seeking someone who excels in a fast-paced, high-volume environment, brings exceptional attention to detail, and uses sound judgment to make confident decisions.

This role demands professionalism, analytical thinking, and the ability to work collaboratively across teams to address complex challenges while ensuring compliance with industry regulations and fostering a positive team culture. By identifying and resolving fraud cases effectively, you’ll play a vital part in maintaining MoneyLion’s reputation for operational excellence and building trust with our customers.

While our preference for this role is to be based in our New York City office, we are open to considering applications from qualified remote candidates.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough investigations into claims of fraud, including identity theft, unauthorized transactions, and account takeovers, ensuring compliance with industry best practices and regulatory standards (e.g., AML, KYC, FINRA, FTC guidelines).
• Detect, analyze, and mitigate suspicious activity, leveraging tools and resources, and escalate systemic risks as necessary.
• Document investigative findings comprehensively and accurately, in a manner suitable for legal discovery, ensuring internal and external communications meet professional standards.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including Compliance, Legal, Fraud & Product Operations, and Customer Advocacy, to address emerging trends, refine fraud prevention measures, share best practices, and resolve escalated issues.
• Handle high volumes of cases with accuracy and efficiency, meeting productivity and timeliness expectations.
• Engage with customers and peers effectively, using professional judgment to de-escalate situations and communicate complex matters clearly.
• Proactively identify process gaps and contribute to the development of documentation, SOPs, and training materials to improve team efficiency and knowledge sharing.
• Monitor workflow for opportunities to improve efficiency and implement solutions without compromising quality.
• Act as a subject matter expert (SME) in fraud and risk management, training peers and contributing thought leadership.
• Engage actively in team meetings, collaborate in peer discussions, and foster a positive and supportive team culture.

About You

• Experience: Minimum 2+ years in investigations, fraud detection, or risk management within financial services or e-commerce or a highly regulated industry.
• Expertise: In-depth understanding of fraud detection methodologies, risk assessment strategies, identity verification protocols, and regulatory guidelines, including FINRA, FTC standards, and other fraud-related compliance measures.
• Technical Proficiency: Experience with CRMs (Salesforce, Kustomer, Zendesk) and data analysis tools (Looker, Periscope, Qualtrics).
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas concisely and professionally to diverse audiences.
• Judgment: Demonstrated ability to evaluate and escalate risks, make sound decisions, and adapt to dynamic situations.
• Conflict Resolution: Proficiency in de-escalation techniques and delivering firm, clear “no” responses without exposing sensitive internal processes or information.
• Problem-Solving: Strong conflict resolution and analytical skills, with the ability to make sound decisions under pressure while striving to address customer concerns empathetically and thoroughly, even when the outcome may not align with the customer’s expectations.
• Ownership: Strong sense of accountability, proactive problem-solving, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
• Team Engagement: Active participation in team discussions, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment.
• Cultural Fit: Positive, enthusiastic contributor to team culture, with a willingness to wear multiple hats and assist where needed.
• Self-Aware: Understands strengths and weaknesses, takes ownership of personal development, and seeks feedback to grow.
• Proactive: Brings risks, trends and opportunities to leadership’s attention without waiting to be asked.
• Detail-Oriented: Produces thorough investigative reports and documentation, ensuring clarity and accuracy.
• Adaptable: Thrives in a dynamic environment with varying priorities, handling large case volumes effectively.
• Collaborative: Builds strong relationships across teams, demonstrating maturity in stakeholder interactions.
• Commercially Minded: Understands the financial and reputational implications of decisions.
• Industry Familiarity: Knowledge of regulatory frameworks and fraud detection tools is essential.
• Professional Maturity: Candidates must demonstrate corporate maturity and discretion in all communications, internally and externally.
• Growth Potential: A strong desire to develop into an SME and thought leader within the organization is highly valued.
