Associate Fraud Analyst

Investigates and blocks fraud on merchant accounts for Adyen's payment platform in Chicago, reviewing transaction patterns and working with risk and product teams against KPI and quality targets. Suits analysts with 1 to 2 years in fraud or AML at a financial firm; candidates must already be work authorised in the US, as visa sponsorship is not offered.

Topics

Ask for a referral to Adyen

A referral only means something if the person giving it can actually speak to your work. I will refer you where I know someone on the inside and your profile genuinely fits the role, and I will tell you plainly when I cannot. Either way you get an answer, and a straight one.

  • I read every request. A reply takes a few days, sometimes longer.
  • I will not refer someone for a role their profile does not fit. It wastes your time and costs me the contact.
  • Where I cannot refer you, I will say why, and point you at the way in that does work.
  • Nothing you send here is shared with anyone without you agreeing to it first.

If you found the opening, paste it. It tells me which team you mean.

A Drive, Dropbox or personal-site link is fine. Make sure it opens without a request for access, or I cannot read it.

At least a short paragraph. This is what I would be putting my name behind, so specifics beat adjectives.

Comma separated, up to six. Things you would be happy to be tested on.
