About the Role:
As a Fraud Analyst specializing in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Cash Advance products, you will be on the front lines of protecting Sezzle and our customers from financial loss and malicious activity. You will leverage data analytics, investigation tools, and industry knowledge to identify, mitigate, and prevent complex fraud schemes, including Account Takeover (ATO), friendly fraud, synthetic identities, and social engineering scams.
The ideal candidate is naturally curious, highly analytical, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where fraud trends evolve rapidly.
What You'll Do:
- Transaction Monitoring & Investigation: Conduct daily reviews of high-risk P2P transfers and cash advance requests to identify fraudulent activity. Investigate suspicious accounts and take appropriate action (e.g., freezing accounts, declining transactions).
- Trend Analysis & Rule Optimization: Analyze fraud patterns and emerging trends to identify gaps in current defenses. Work closely with the Risk Strategy team to recommend and test new fraud rules and machine learning model features.
- Scam & ATO Mitigation: Investigate complex fraud cases involving social engineering scams, unauthorized access (ATO), and first-party/friendly fraud specific to instant money movement.
- Reporting: Create and maintain dashboards tracking key fraud metrics (e.g., false positive rates, fraud loss rates, operational SLAs) and report findings to leadership.
What We Look For:
- Experience: 2 - 4 years of experience in fraud investigations, risk management, or trust & safety, specifically within fintech, banking, or the payments industry.
- Domain Knowledge: Strong understanding of P2P payment networks (e.g., Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, ACH) and short-term credit/cash advance products.
- Analytical Skills: Proficiency in data analysis using SQL and Python. Ability to connect the dots across multiple data sources to uncover hidden fraud rings.
- Problem Solving: A strong analytical mindset with the ability to make high-quality, high-velocity decisions under pressure.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex fraud patterns to non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Vendor Experience: Familiarity with modern fraud prevention tools and identity verification vendors.
About You:
- You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
- You're not bound by convention - your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things.
- You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
- You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
- You have backbone; disagree, then commit - you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly.
- You deliver results - you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle.

Tips for Your Remote Fraud Specialist Job Search
Tailor your resume to fraud typologies
Hiring managers scan for the specific fraud types you've worked on, whether that's card-not-present fraud, first-party misuse, or claims manipulation. Name each typology explicitly in your work history rather than listing generic investigation duties.
Earn a CFE before applying mid-level
The Certified Fraud Examiner credential is a concrete signal for roles above entry level. If you're targeting positions that require two or more years of experience, completing the CFE exam before you apply removes a common screening objection upfront.
Highlight the tools examiners actually use
Fraud teams rely on tools like NICE Actimize, SAS Fraud Management, or LexisNexis Bridger. Name every platform you've used in a dedicated skills section so your resume clears automated applicant filters before a recruiter reads it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists fraud specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare scenario answers around false-positive rates
Interviewers at banks and insurers will ask how you balance catching fraud without blocking legitimate customers. Prepare a specific example where you adjusted a rule or threshold to reduce false positives while maintaining detection accuracy.
Negotiate using regulatory context
Fraud roles tied to BSA, AML, or FCRA compliance carry compliance risk for employers, which strengthens your leverage. When discussing offers, frame your regulatory knowledge as a direct cost-avoidance asset, not just a technical skill.
Remote Fraud Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote fraud specialist job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person.

Entry-level remote fraud specialist openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
