The Problem

Fast-growing marketplaces, crypto platforms, and fintech card programs are facing sophisticated fraud while also trying to preserve user growth and transaction volume. The signals show companies need more than rules or tools: they need senior operators who can design fraud frameworks, manage investigations, handle escalations, detect emerging attack patterns, and coordinate with compliance and business teams.

Potential Solution

Offer a fractional fraud operations package for platforms that need immediate leadership and execution. The service would audit existing fraud workflows, define risk controls, set escalation playbooks, review suspicious activity patterns, tune vendor tools, and provide weekly fraud strategy reviews. Over time, repeated playbooks, templates, detection logic, and investigation workflows can become a productized managed service.

Why Now?

Fraud pressure is rising around social commerce, crypto payments, embedded finance, and card programs. Companies are hiring senior fraud leads because generic tooling is not enough without operational frameworks and scam-hunting expertise.

Fraud Strategy Specialist - Card Issuance

Own fraud strategy for the card issuance program end-to-end — from pre-launch risk assessment through steady-state monitoring after go-live. Translate our infrastructure partner's area-of-responsibility split into an operating decisioning model. Card issuing infrastructure providers generally aren't fraud teams — authorization decisioning, onboarding fraud, velocity controls, and cross-account detection sit with Felix, and this role turns that into actual controls, not just a documented split.
