Super.com

8d • $99,000 - $156,000 • Remote

About The Position

This newly created leadership role is focused on protecting the integrity and profitability of Super.com’s rapidly growing travel marketplace, with a focus on hotel and flight transactions. You will be responsible for shaping and driving fraud and risk strategy across the full booking lifecycle, from checkout and authorization through disputes and chargebacks, ensuring an effective balance between risk mitigation and conversion. You will develop scalable fraud and abuse controls, partnering cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Finance, and Compliance to reduce fraud losses across the travel products. This includes managing risks such as card fraud, friendly fraud, and refund abuse, while optimizing authorization performance and leveraging third-party decisioning tools. This role is critical to building a secure, seamless, and scalable travel platform that drives long-term growth and customer trust.

Risk Operations at Super.com operates as a centralized function with broad ownership across fraud prevention, financial crime, and transaction integrity. Our scope spans payment and card fraud, travel fraud, cashback and promotional abuse, offerwall fraud, KYC and identity verification, anti-money laundering (AML), and the end-to-end management of chargebacks and disputes. While we sit within the Finance organization, we are deeply embedded across cross-functional, mission-aligned teams (MATs), partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data, Compliance, and Operations. This structure enables us to influence both strategic direction and day-to-day execution—shaping risk controls, informing product design, and optimizing user experiences. Our team is responsible for safeguarding the business while enabling sustainable growth. We focus on improving the quality of transactions, reducing fraud and financial losses, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building scalable systems that support a seamless and trustworthy customer experience across travel, financial products, earnings and emerging product lines.
