What you'll do

We're looking for a Head of Fraud to join our team in Amsterdam and take full ownership of fraud risk across our merchant portfolio. This is a hands-onleadership role: you'll define strategy, build and lead a team, and work closely withour acquiring partners, product, and commercial teams to keep our portfoliohealthy as we grow.

• Chargeback and dispute management - lead the end-to-end chargeback process, manage scheme thresholds, and drive dispute resolution efficiency
• Fraud operations and tooling - oversee the tools and processes used to detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, and identify where we can improve or automate
• Risk analytics and reporting - build the data visibility needed to monitor portfolio health, spot emerging threats, and report clearly to leadership
• Team leadership — hire, develop, and manage a fraud team; set priorities and create a high-performance environment
• Acquirer and scheme relationships — act as the primary point of contact on fraud-related matters with our acquiring partners and card schemes

Who you are

What we are looking for 

• Experience in fraud, risk, or payments — ideally in a card-present or acquiring context
• Strong grasp of chargeback mechanics, card scheme rules, and fraud typologies across European markets
• Analytical mindset — you're comfortable working with data and can translate it into decisions
• Clear communicator who can work across commercial, technical, and operational stakeholders
• Experience working in a fast-growing, international environment

Nice to have 

• Experience managing fraud across multiple markets simultaneously
• Familiarity with the acquiring and payment processing landscape
• Background in fintech or merchant acquiring

What we offer
