THE ROLE

Truemed enables consumers to pay for eligible health & wellness expenses with HSA/FSA. As we scale, we need a dedicated fraud & risk operator to protect our customers, partners, and the business while keeping approval rates high and friction low.

This is Truemed’s first fraud hire. You’ll own the day-to-day detection, investigation, and remediation of fraud and abuse across our payment flows and customer/partner lifecycle.

Investigations & Decisioning

- Perform high-judgment investigations and make consistent allow/deny/hold decisions for transactions, accounts, and partner activity

- Maintain clean case notes and audit trails; ensure timely, accurate responses that maximize win rate while minimizing customer friction

- Analyze dispute reason codes and inquiry drivers; implement prevention tactics (policy/process changes, product nudges, data sharing with Support/Ops) to reduce repeat disputes and friendly fraud

Measurement, Dashboards, and Controls
