Full description
Holds. Limits. Locks. Closures. The judicious use of these tools is designed to protect good customers. But if wielded maladroitly, good customers get entangled in unnecessary friction, burden our operations teams, and may become detractors and churn. At Mercury, we believe banking* should be empowering and seamless, not difficult, confusing, or stressful.
As a Product Manager for Fraud, you’ll build products that enable Mercury to master these tools and deftly balance customer experience with fraud prevention. You'll develop a deep understanding of our customers, their accounts, and our money movement products to build systems that protect our customers and Mercury from fraud. You’ll work cross-functionally to build products for both end users and internal risk teams that enable Mercury to provide a seamless and safe banking* experience.
We are looking for someone who can lead us in redefining how risk friction is used, measured, and optimized to unlock the seamless, magical banking* experience we believe is possible.

What You Bring:
- 7+ years of relevant product management experience, including experience within fraud or risk in banking or fintech environments
- Deep customer empathy and understanding of how risk friction impacts user experience, growth and retention
