About the team
The Payment team of TikTok USDS Joint Venture provides payment solutions - including payment acquisitions, disbursements, transaction monitoring, payment method management, foreign exchange conversion, accounting, reconciliations, and so on - to ensure that users have a smooth and secure payment experience on TikTok platform. In this role, you will be responsible for the health of our financial ecosystem. You will dive into vast datasets to identify sophisticated FinTech fraud typologies in real-time—such as card testing, synthetic identity clusters, and account takeovers (ATO)—and translate these findings into robust operational processes. However, your goal isn’t just to manage manual reviews; it is to resolve manual bottlenecks. You will work with product and engineering to implement AI-driven tooling and AI Agents to automate the ingestion of dispute evidence and payment signals, ensuring our response to fraud is as fast as the attacks themselves.
Key Responsibilities:
- Fraud Investigation: Analyze user behavior, device fingerprints, and login patterns to identify ATO (Account Takeover) and collusion. Build automated triggers to freeze suspicious accounts before financial loss occurs. Perform some hands-on risk reviews for high-value transactions and complex cases to stay grounded in the latest fraud trends.
- Chargeback & Dispute Strategy: Oversee the end-to-end contestment process. Use data to identify winnable chargebacks, automate the evidence-gathering process to improve win rate, and improve system performances of the automated representment.
- SOP Design & Optimization: Develop and maintain rigorous Risk Operations SOPs. Conduct gap analyses on existing manual reviews to determine where human intervention is required versus where AI can take over.
- AI and Automation Implementation: Identify opportunities to replace manual workflows with AI agents. Partner with Engineering to implement solutions such as OCR, LLM-based document parsing, and automated risk scoring.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
- Experience: 1+ years in a quantitative analytical role, specifically within Risk Operations, Trust & Safety, or FinTech.
- Technical Stack: SQL is required, Python for data analysis is a plus. Experience in building reporting suites in BI tools such as Tableau.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Analytics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
Preferred Qualifications:
- BPO Management: Experience managing external vendors or large-scale moderation workforces.
- AI/ML Experience: Hands-on experience implementing AI agents or machine learning models to automate operational workflows (e.g., using LLMs for text classification or Vision models for ID verification).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Risk Management Director
Verify your SOC code before applying
Risk Management Directors are typically classified under SOC 11-3031. Pull your O*NET profile to confirm the degree requirements listed match your credentials. A mismatch between your background and the SOC classification is a common RFE trigger.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Risk Management Director roles by employers who have certified Labor Condition Applications for this title. Employers with a documented LCA history are operationally ready to sponsor, which shortens your path from offer to petition.
Request premium processing in your offer negotiation
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. Asking your prospective employer to elect premium processing at filing shortens the USCIS decision window to 15 business days, which matters if your OPT or grace period is running short.
Confirm the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Run the OFLC Wage Search using your job location and SOC code before signing. The LCA wage must meet at least Level II for a director-level role. An offer below that threshold forces the employer to refile, delaying your start date.
Document your risk framework experience in plain language
USCIS RFEs for management roles often challenge the specialty occupation requirement. Prepare a resume and job description that ties your duties to a specific degree field, such as quantitative finance or actuarial science, not just general business administration.
Understand cap-exempt employer pathways if you miss the lottery
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government-related entities are exempt from the H-1B annual cap. Some large financial firms have affiliated foundations or research arms that qualify. Ask your employer's immigration counsel whether any entity in their structure is cap-exempt.
H-1B Visa Risk Management Director: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Risk Management Director role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as finance, risk management, actuarial science, or quantitative analysis. Generic management duties without a field-specific degree requirement can draw an RFE. The job description must tie each core duty to that specific degree discipline, not just to business administration broadly.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most frequently for Risk Management Directors?
Financial services, insurance, and multinational manufacturing are the heaviest sponsors for this title. Banks, asset managers, and insurance carriers routinely file H-1B petitions for enterprise risk and credit risk directors. You can browse verified sponsor employers for this role on Migrate Mate, which surfaces companies with confirmed LCA filing history for Risk Management Director positions.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect my timeline for starting a Risk Management Director role?
Cap-subject H-1B petitions can only have an October 1 start date at the earliest, meaning you must be selected in the April lottery and have your petition approved before then. If your current work authorization expires before October 1, your employer may need to structure a cap-exempt bridge arrangement or you may need to maintain status through another category in the interim.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer mid-year as a Risk Management Director?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 allows you to change employers once your new employer files a transfer petition, without waiting for USCIS approval. The new employer must file an I-129 with a certified LCA before your last day at the current employer. Your salary and title must still meet prevailing wage requirements at the new company's location.
What credentials strengthen an H-1B petition for a Risk Management Director position?
A degree in finance, economics, mathematics, or actuarial science is the strongest foundation. Professional certifications such as FRM or CFA support the specialty occupation argument by demonstrating field-specific expertise beyond a general management background. USCIS gives additional weight to credentials that directly map to the specialized analytical duties described in the LCA and support letter.
