With over six years of experience in risk management and fraud prevention across multiple regions, I have developed a robust understanding of KYC, AML, and compliance frameworks. My work has involved launching products in greenfield markets, where I successfully balanced security with seamless user experiences. I am particularly drawn to this role because it sits at the intersection of regulatory analysis and product innovation. In my previous roles, I have collaborated closely with product and engineering teams to design onboarding and transaction flows that minimize friction while ensuring regulatory compliance. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to Sporty Group's expansion in Africa and LATAM. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills can support your team. Copy ### Sample Interview Questions Can you describe your experience with fraud detection and prevention in emerging markets?In my previous role, I managed fraud prevention for a fintech expanding into Southeast Asia. I implemented a rule-based transaction monitoring system that reduced false positives by 30% while maintaining detection rates. I also worked with local regulators to ensure compliance with evolving AML requirements.How do you prioritize between user experience and security when designing onboarding flows?I believe in a risk-based approach. For low-risk transactions, I streamline verification using biometrics and device fingerprints. For high-risk scenarios, I enforce additional checks like document verification. The key is to continuously A/B test and analyze drop-off rates to find the optimal balance.Describe a time you had to manage multiple stakeholders from different departments (e.g., Legal, Product, Tech) to launch a new market. How did you ensure alignment?During a launch in Nigeria, I set up weekly cross-functional meetings and created a shared roadmap with clear milestones. I used a RACI matrix to clarify responsibilities and maintained a risk register to track compliance issues. Regular updates and open communication helped keep everyone aligned.What metrics do you consider most important for measuring the effectiveness of fraud prevention efforts?I focus on fraud loss rate, false positive rate, and customer friction metrics like time-to-onboard. Additionally, I monitor recovery rates and the cost of fraud operations to ensure the program is cost-effective.How would you approach building a risk framework for a country with limited regulatory guidance?I would start by understanding the local payment ecosystem and common fraud vectors. I'd benchmark against similar markets and collaborate with local partners. A key step is to implement a flexible, rule-based system that can adapt as regulations emerge, and to set up dashboards to monitor unusual activity.
