About this role
This is a net-new leadership role for a peer-to-peer marketplace scaling fast, built to give Trust & Safety a real seat at the table instead of being a reactive cost center. You'll report straight to the COO and own the function end to end: fraud prevention, identity verification, investigations, and moderation. Success looks like a measurably safer platform within a year, fewer fraud losses, faster incident response, and a T&S team running on real workflows and automation instead of tribal knowledge.
What You'll Own
- Build and run the Trust & Safety operating model from the ground up: team structure, workflows, tooling, and the roadmap to scale it
- Drive down fraud losses and platform risk by defining and tracking the metrics that actually move the needle…
