About SurePay

Founded in 2016, SurePay is the leading account verification platform, relied upon by 250+ banks and thousands of organizations, to prevent fraud, misdirected payments, and reputational damage. Headquartered in Utrecht, we are scaling our platform and our team across Europe and beyond.

About the role

Our core Account Verification product has already changed the game. Now, we are scaling our vision. We’ve launched a new domain—Focussed on Financial crime prevention and detection—to build a powerhouse suite of actionable insights for Fraud and Anti-Money Laundering. The train has already left the station: we have a vision, a working prototype, and positive validation from major banks. However, to win in this competitive market, we need more than just technical direction. We need a Domain Lead who can provide the functional "north star"—someone who can look at a list of features and decide exactly which ML model or use case will deliver the highest value to a Tier-1 bank. 

This isn’t about building from scratch in a vacuum; it’s about taking the helm of a high-speed project and making the hard calls. With your expertise in fraud, you will drive our next level product; FinCrime Insights,  nurturing it from an ambitious initiative into a fully grown-up business unit by the end of 2026.  

Your core responsibilities will be:

• Domain Ownership: Working with a dedicated Product Owner, Product Manager, and two specialized IT teams to turn complex data points into world-class detection models.
• Strategic Decision Making: Answering the "What" and "When." Should we prioritize specific fraud types or AML triggers? Which features move the needle for a CISO or Head of Compliance? You are the subject matter expert able to answer these questions. 
• Client Partnership: Acting as the trusted subject matter expert in high-stakes conversations with banks, translating their pain points into our product roadmap.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Orchestrating alignment with relevant stakeholders and departments

About you

We are looking for a Fraud authority who knows exactly how banks think. You are a super specialist  when it comes to fraud detection and prevention. You understand the bureaucracy and risk-appetite of a bank, but believe you will thrive in the agile, sometimes "messy" environment of a scaling software company and are eager to use your expertise to drive this domain. To be successful in this role you: 

• Have a solid background (8+ yrs) in fraud detection within a banking environment. You understand rule-writing, model building, and how detection systems fit into a bank’s complex architecture. 
• Are a Regulatory Expert: You stay ahead of the curve on AMLR, PSD3, and PSR, understanding how shifting laws impact detection strategies.
• Live Pragmatic Decisiveness: You have a strong bias for action. When the team asks for a direction, you provide it based on evidence and experience.
• Have Resilience: You aren't rattled by ambiguity. You can pivot when the market shifts and keep the team motivated.
• Are a Master Storyteller: You can simplify complex technical fraud concepts into inspiring visions for stakeholders and clients alike.

What we offer

You will have the autonomy to build a new business unit, backed by the reputation and resources of SurePay. You’ll be at the forefront of the fight against financial crime, using cutting-edge AI to protect millions of transactions, before they take place.

• Competitive salary + 8% personal benefits budget (use it on training, more time off, or your salary) 
• 25 holidays 
• Hybrid working setup (1 day per week in Utrecht)
• MacBook Pro, iPhone, and all the tech you need
• Travel costs covered (NS Business Card)
• Pension plan
• A culture of ownership, innovation, and autonomy
• Friday drinks, offsites, and a quarterly company meetup
• A diverse team of 35+ nationalities, driven by impact
