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 as a Risk Management Specialist
Verify your SOC code before applying
Risk Management Specialists are typically classified under SOC 13-2099 or 11-3031. Check the O*NET profile for your specific duties so your degree field and job description align with the specialty occupation standard USCIS applies.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing options
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated entities are cap-exempt H-1B filers. A risk or compliance role at a university endowment or federally funded research center can sidestep the April lottery entirely.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter by risk management roles on Migrate Mate to see employers with active LCA filing history for this occupation. That filing history signals genuine sponsorship capacity, not just a checkbox on a job posting.
Document your specialized credentials early
FRM, PRM, or CFA credentials directly strengthen your specialty occupation case. Have your credential certificates, transcript, and a credential evaluation ready before your employer starts the LCA, since DOL certification typically takes seven business days.
Negotiate a start date that clears the cap-gap window
If you're on OPT when selected in the lottery, your cap-gap protection extends your authorization through September 30. Confirm your employer's I-129 is filed before your OPT expires so USCIS can grant the cap-gap extension automatically.
Ask your employer about prevailing wage levels
The LCA locks in a wage level from the OFLC Wage Search. Level I covers entry-level analysts; Level III or IV applies to senior risk officers. Misclassification is a common RFE trigger, so confirm the level matches your actual responsibilities before the LCA is filed.
H-1B Visa Risk Management Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Risk Management Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as finance, economics, accounting, or risk management. Generalist roles that accept any degree field can face USCIS scrutiny. Your employer's job description should specify the required degree field, not just list it as preferred, and your actual degree should align with that field.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most consistently for this role?
Financial services, insurance carriers, asset management firms, and large multinational corporations with enterprise risk functions file LCAs for Risk Management Specialists regularly. Consulting firms that staff risk engagements at client sites also sponsor, though those roles may involve third-party placement, which adds an extra layer to the H-1B filing. You can browse employers with verified LCA filing history for this occupation on Migrate Mate.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer mid-year without losing my cap count?
Yes. Once you've been counted against the H-1B cap, you can transfer to a new employer through H-1B portability under AC21. Your new employer files an I-129 transfer petition, and you can start working as soon as the receipt notice is issued, without waiting for approval. Your cap count carries over permanently.
How does prevailing wage affect H-1B sponsorship for risk roles?
The DOL requires your employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and geographic location, determined using the OFLC Wage Search. Risk Management Specialists in major financial hubs like New York or San Francisco carry higher prevailing wages than the same role in smaller metros. Employers factor this into their willingness to sponsor, particularly at Level III or IV wage classifications.
What credentials strengthen my H-1B petition for a risk management position?
Professional designations like the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) or Professional Risk Manager (PRM) directly support your specialty occupation claim by demonstrating field-specific expertise beyond a generalist business degree. A foreign credential evaluation is also useful if your degree is from outside the U.S., since USCIS applies a four-year bachelor's equivalency standard. Include both in your employer's petition package to reduce the chance of an RFE.
