- Hybrid · London, United Kingdom
What you'll do
- Decide which Partner Excellence problems are real and which only look real, before anyone builds a fix.
- Design how Partner Excellence decides: which signals count, what evidence the network runs on, and what good looks like.
- Tell the squad lead what to change and what to stop, and get a decision.
- Build the thing that decides: data applications, monitors and alerts, not decks, using Claude and agents to ship your own tools.
- Go and look when the data and the street disagree: the sort centre, the van, the shop.
- Get the missing data built, and prove which fixes worked.
What we're looking for
- Have owned fraud, risk or trust decisions end to end: turned investigations into rules, standards or interventions, and owned their number, such as the false positive rate you were held to, rather than building the model.
- Have run investigations in fraud, risk, financial crime or trust and safety, and decided whether a signal was real or noise.
- Have seen their work acted on: a leader changed a plan, a team adopted your method, or engineers built what you asked for.
- Have worked somewhere with enough volume for a false positive rate to mean something, where your rules ran live and something happened when they were wrong.
- Have got records created by teams who didn't report to you, and know how long it takes.
- Are hands-on and fluent in SQL, with or without AI, and would rather ship a working answer this week than a perfect one next quarter.
- No logistics experience needed, just the appetite to learn a physical operation fast.
