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 Lead
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
USCIS scrutinizes whether Risk Management Lead roles require a specific degree field, not just any bachelor's. Document how your degree in finance, statistics, or actuarial science directly ties to the duties in your job offer to reduce RFE risk.
Check LCA filing history before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers by verified DOL Labor Condition Application filings for risk management roles. This shows which companies have sponsored H-1B workers in comparable positions, so you're targeting employers with a real track record.
Target cap-exempt institutions for faster timelines
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government-affiliated entities are exempt from the H-1B cap and lottery. Risk management functions exist at these institutions, and a cap-exempt filing means your employer can file any time without waiting for October 1.
Verify your prevailing wage tier before negotiating an offer
Run your SOC code and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions. Your employer's LCA must certify at least the DOL prevailing wage for your level, and knowing your tier prevents offers that can't survive the certification process.
Collect risk framework documentation before filing begins
USCIS increasingly issues RFEs for management-level H-1B petitions asking for evidence the role requires a specialized degree. Gather org charts, internal risk policy documents, and reporting structures that show the position demands graduate-level quantitative or financial expertise.
Understand how job-duty changes affect your H-1B status
Promotions from analyst to Risk Management Lead can trigger a material change in duties, requiring an amended H-1B petition before you assume the new role. Confirm with your employer whether the new scope changes your LCA wage level or job location.
H-1B Visa Risk Management Lead: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Risk Management Lead role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as finance, economics, statistics, or risk management. Generic management experience alone isn't sufficient. The employer must show the role normally requires this specific academic background, and the O*NET profile for related occupations supports that requirement in most financial and analytical contexts.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most frequently for risk management roles?
Financial services firms, insurance carriers, large technology companies, and consulting firms file the highest volume of H-1B LCAs for risk management positions. Regulated industries where enterprise risk frameworks are legally required tend to sponsor more consistently because the compliance function is central to operations, not discretionary. You can browse employers with active filing history on Migrate Mate.
Can my employer file an H-1B for a Risk Management Lead role if I'm currently on OPT?
Yes. Your employer files the H-1B petition during the regular cap-subject filing window in March for an October 1 start date, while you continue working on OPT. If your OPT expires before October 1, the cap-gap rule automatically extends your work authorization until your H-1B status begins, as long as your petition is timely filed and selected.
What happens to my H-1B status if I get promoted to Risk Management Lead from a different title?
If the promotion materially changes your job duties, wage level, or work location, your employer must file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. Failing to amend when duties change significantly is a compliance violation. The LCA must also reflect the updated position title and any wage level adjustment corresponding to the Lead designation.
How should I evaluate whether a prospective employer will actually sponsor my H-1B?
Look beyond verbal assurances. Verify whether the company has filed H-1B LCAs for similar roles by checking DOL disclosure data directly. Employers who have gone through the process before are more likely to have internal HR processes that make sponsorship straightforward. Ask specifically whether they've sponsored H-1B petitions for risk or finance roles at the Lead level, and confirm their timeline for filing relative to your start date.
