This is a senior leadership role within the Send tribe - the team responsible for how Sokin moves money for our clients globally. You'll lead a cluster of Product Managers & Senior PMs across multiple regions, owning the output of both the Product Managers and the product strategy for each region you manage.

As we continue to expand, we're building a team of exceptional people who share our ambition to transform the future of global payments. As our Group Product Manager You'll own the product strategy and outcomes for your regions within the Send domain- the core of how Sokin moves money for its clients globally. You'll lead a team of Product Managers, owning their development and the regional strategy they execute against, ensuring they're working on the right things and delivering with clarity and pace. Your primary outcome is a high performing, well coordinated team that consistently ships impactful work with a clear strategic direction. Alongside this, you'll own licensing discovery for the countries in your regions - understanding the regulatory requirements for new markets, working cross functionally with Legal, Compliance, and Banking Partnerships, and ensuring Sokin has a clear, evidence based view of what it takes to expand. Working closely with engineering leads, the Product Director, and senior stakeholders, you'll represent the Send domain at a leadership level - bringing a well reasoned, evidence based point of view on where we're going and why. Your role as GPM at Sokin: Lead and develop a team of Product Managers spanning multiple regions - owning their growth, giving honest feedback, and building a team that operates with clarity and confidence. Own the product strategy and roadmap for your regions - ensuring it's grounded in evidence, clearly communicated, and aligned to Sokin's commercial expansion goals.

Work closely with cross functional stakeholder leads, including engineering, as a peer - building the trust and shared understanding needed to deliver well together.

Make prioritisation calls across your squads - balancing short term delivery needs with longer term strategic bets and being clear about what you're not doing. Support the Product Director with domain level input into broader product planning, hiring, and strategic decisions. We'd love to hear from you if: You have proven experience leading a team of Product Managers - you've owned their development, coached regularly, and been honest about performance. You've owned a product domain end to end - whereby you have been accountable for the strategy, the roadmap, and the outcomes, not just the delivery. You're commercially literate and able to connect product decisions to business impact - you understand how what you build affects revenue, margins, and client outcomes. You're a clear, confident communicator - comfortable representing your domain at a senior level and able to simplify complex problems for a range of audiences. You have experience in fintech, payments, or financial services - you understand the domain and the complexity that comes with building in a regulated, fast moving environment. You're a strong cross functional operator - you build trust with engineering, design, operations, and commercial teams, and know how to get things done through others. You can hold the big picture and the detail at the same time - strategic enough to set direction, grounded enough to know when to get into the work. You're honest and direct - with your team, your peers, and your leadership. You give feedback well and create an environment where your Product Managers can do their best work. Please note, candidates will need to have the right to work in the jurisdiction that they are looking to work in.

HR Synergy Roadmap, Planning and Change Assurance Lead Our HR Function plays a critical role within Defra Group. We are responsible for developing and delivering the Group People Strategy and Plan to build and sustain a high performing workforce, empowered to deliver against our organisational priorities in an inclusive, ambitious and engaging environment. To deliver our professional and expert end-to-end HR service, Defra Group HR partners with Defra, Rural Payments Agency, Environment Agency, Animal & Plant Health Agency, Veterinary Medicines Directorate, and Natural England, as well as many other delivery partners, which includes Civil Service and public service bodies. The HR function is structured across 3 pillars of delivery: HR Business Partnering, HR Expert Services and HR Operations. This role sits within HR Digital and Automation in the wider HR Operations space and has a specific focus on reporting, governance and delivery assurance within the wider Synergy Programme. The Synergy Programme aims to transform shared services across Defra, DWP, MoJ, Home Office, and their Arm's Length Bodies (ALBs). This transformation will impact around 250,000 Public and Civil Service employees, supporting new ways of working for over half of the Civil Service. Synergy's Mission: The mission is to simplify and enhance the delivery of corporate services in government with an outcome to make working lives easier. This results in crucial support which delivers crucial services through the provision of smarter, faster, and more intuitive systems designed around user needs. Synergy's Objectives: To simplify operations through an optimised Shared Services Centre To improve user experience To enhance data quality and reporting To deliver service continuity alongside the provision of a foundation for service enhancements And to demonstrate value for money This post reports to the G6 HR Senior Programme Manager and is one of two G7 roles within the HR Synergy delivery team. The role owns the HR Synergy delivery roadmap and planning architecture - the forward looking view that shows where HR is heading, what the major decision points are, and how delivery is sequenced. Because Synergy is the dominant transformational programme for HR, this roadmap serves as the primary reference point that the Change Portfolio Lead and other HR programmes use when aligning their own plans to Synergy's transformational timeline. The post-holder will lead the development and maintenance of the HR Synergy delivery roadmap - a rolling view showing minor and major Target Operating Model inflection points, interim state transitions, readiness milestones, and go live decision points. They will map the major decisions on the horizon, including Synergy go live timing considerations, readiness change requirements, and interim versus end state TOM transitions, ensuring these are visible and flagged in good time for senior decision making. Critically, the role also provides assurance over the Business Change Management support HR receives from the team, acting as the day to day HR counterpart to the BCM function at G7 peer level, monitoring the quality of change impact assessments, readiness activities, and stakeholder engagement, and identifying where support falls short.

About the Role The head of EMEA Refund Fraud will lead Doordash's EMEA strategy for preventing and managing refund abuse across our marketplace. You will be accountable for the performance of the Credit and Refund (C&R) Fraud domain: setting the long-term vision, determining where we focus our resources, and building the team, controls and capabilities required to reduce fraud sustainably while protecting the experience of genuine customers. This is a senior leadership role at the intersection of Integrity, Customer Care, Product, Engineering, Analytics and Finance. You will lead a team of experienced fraud and strategy professionals and work with senior leaders across the company to make complex decisions about fraud risk, customer experience, operational cost and product investment. You will need to be comfortable operating in ambiguity, identifying problems before they become material, and turning complex and sometimes incomplete signals into a clear strategy. Success will come not from personally solving every problem, but from creating the direction, operating mechanisms and team that enable the company to manage refund fraud effectively at scale. What You'll Be Doing Setting the C&R Fraud Strategy Set and own the 1-2 year vision and strategy for C&R Fraud, translating wider Integrity and business priorities into a focused roadmap. Proactively identify emerging risks, systemic vulnerabilities and opportunities rather than waiting for problems to be assigned. Determine the highest-value problems for the team to solve and make clear choices about where we should (and should not) invest. Define how we balance fraud loss, customer experience, operational cost and growth when designing controls. Build compelling business cases for significant product, policy and operational investments. Owning Performance and Risk Be accountable for C&R Fraud performance and establish a clear set of outcomes, targets and guardrails. Develop a comprehensive view of fraud exposure, including fraud cost, abuse rates, loss per order, false positives, customer impact and operational cost. Partner with Finance and senior leadership to quantify financial exposure and inform risk appetite decisions. Establish mechanisms to identify material changes in performance, understand their drivers and ensure effective action is taken. Ensure the organisation can detect and respond quickly to new abuse patterns and emerging threats. Build Scalable Fraud Prevention Capabilities Own the effectiveness of the overall C&R fraud framework across customer and partner journeys. Identify systemic control gaps and ensure the right preventative, detective and responsive controls are in place. Set the direction for product decisioning, eligibility logic, automation, friction, policies and operational interventions. Ensure rules, models and controls are continually evaluated against both fraud outcomes and customer-experience guardrails. Create effective feedback loops between frontline investigations, Analytics, Product and Engineering so that new insights translate into better prevention. Challenge legacy processes and controls, simplifying or retiring them where they no longer provide sufficient value. Lead Cross-Functional Strategy and Investment Act as the senior C&R Fraud partner to Product, Engineering, Customer Care, Merchant, Finance, Analytics and other Integrity teams. Translate fraud problems into clear product and business opportunities and influence roadmaps outside your direct reporting line. Lead complex decisions where fraud prevention, customer experience, commercial performance and operational efficiency are in tension. Create alignment around priorities, decision rights and accountability without relying on excessive consensus. Make longer-term trade-offs and ensure resources are concentrated on the initiatives with the greatest expected impact. Communicate complex risks and recommendations clearly to senior and executive stakeholders. Build and Lead a High-Performing Team Lead and develop a team of experienced fraud, strategy and operations professionals. Translate your strategy into clear, measurable outcomes for individual team members. Empower your team to own significant problems independently while providing effective challenge, coaching and direction. Establish strong operating mechanisms and rituals for reviewing performance, prioritisation, delivery and emerging risks. Build capability and succession within the team, identifying development opportunities and future talent needs. Create an inclusive environment in which different perspectives are actively sought and people are able to challenge assumptions. Hold yourself and others accountable for delivering ambitious outcomes while maintaining focus and sustainable ways of working. Requirements We are looking for an experienced leader who has previously owned a meaningful fraud, risk, trust & safety, operational or related business domain. You will ideally bring: Significant experience in fraud, risk strategy, trust & safety, marketplace integrity, strategy & operations or a related domain, typically gained over 10+ years. Experience leading and developing experienced individual contributors and/or managers. Demonstrated ownership of a substantial business outcome, risk domain or portfolio rather than solely individual projects. A track record of defining and executing strategies across a 1-2 year horizon. Experience identifying complex problems, setting direction and making high-quality decisions where the answer is not immediately clear. Strong commercial judgement and the ability to evaluate financial impact alongside customer and operational consequences. Experience influencing senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Operations, Analytics and Finance. Strong analytical judgement and the ability to use data, customer insight and operational evidence to challenge assumptions and make decisions. Experience translating complex problems into scalable product, policy or operational solutions. Strong people leadership, with evidence of developing talented individuals and creating teams that operate effectively with increasing autonomy. Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to turn complex analysis into clear executive-level recommendations. Experience with refund abuse, customer claims fraud, payments fraud, marketplace abuse or adjacent fraud domains would be valuable, but deep expertise in refund fraud itself is not essential. We are equally interested in leaders who have demonstrated the ability to quickly understand a complex risk domain and build the strategy and organisation required to improve it. What Success Looks Like In this role, you will have built a clear and widely understood C&R Fraud strategy, established measurable outcomes and guardrails, and focused the organisation on a number of high-impact priorities. You will have materially improved our ability to prevent and respond to refund abuse while protecting genuine customers, created a scalable control and monitoring framework, and influenced the product investments required to address systemic vulnerabilities. You will have built a team capable of owning complex problems independently - creating an organisation that anticipates risk and continuously improves rather than reacting to the fraud we see today. Why the company Our mission is to transform the way you shop and eat, bringing the neighbourhood to your door by connecting consumers, restaurants, shops and riders. We are transforming the way the world eats and shops by making access to food and products more convenient and enjoyable. We give people the opportunity to buy what they want, as they want it, when and where they want it. We are a technology-driven company at the forefront of the most rapidly expanding industry in the world. We are still a small team, making a very large impact, looking to answer some of the most interesting questions out there. We move fast, value autonomy and ownership, and we are always looking for new ideas. Workplace & Benefits healthcare well-being parental leave pensions generous annual leave allowances time off to support a charitable cause of your choice Diversity At the company, we believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander. All you need is a passion for (most) food and a desire to be part of one of the fastest-growing businesses in a rapidly growing industry. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of our hiring process. We recognise that some candidates may require adjustments to apply for a position or fairly participate in the interview process. If you require any adjustments, please don't hesitate to let us know. We will make every effort to provide the necessary adjustments to ensure you have an equitable opportunity to succeed.

Partner with Finance and senior leadership to quantify financial exposure and inform risk appetite decisions. Establish mechanisms to identify material changes in performance, understand their drivers and ensure effective action is taken. Ensure the organisation can detect and respond quickly to new abuse patterns and emerging threats. Build Scalable Fraud Prevention Capabilities Own the effectiveness of the overall C&R fraud framework across customer and partner journeys. Identify systemic control gaps and ensure the right preventative, detective and responsive controls are in place. Set the direction for product decisioning, eligibility logic, automation, friction, policies and operational interventions. Ensure rules, models and controls are continually evaluated against both fraud outcomes and customer-experience guardrails. Create effective feedback loops between frontline investigations, Analytics, Product and Engineering so that new insights translate into better prevention. Challenge legacy processes and controls, simplifying or retiring them where they no longer provide sufficient value. Lead Cross-Functional Strategy and Investment Act as the senior C&R Fraud partner to Product, Engineering, Customer Care, Merchant, Finance, Analytics and other Integrity teams. Translate fraud problems into clear product and business opportunities and influence roadmaps outside your direct reporting line. Lead complex decisions where fraud prevention, customer experience, commercial performance and operational efficiency are in tension. Create alignment around priorities, decision rights and accountability without relying on excessive consensus. Make longer-term trade-offs and ensure resources are concentrated on the initiatives with the greatest expected impact. Communicate complex risks and recommendations clearly to senior and executive stakeholders. Build and Lead a High-Performing Team Lead and develop a team of experienced fraud, strategy and operations professionals. Translate your strategy into clear, measurable outcomes for individual team members. Empower your team to own significant problems independently while providing effective challenge, coaching and direction. Establish strong operating mechanisms and rituals for reviewing performance, prioritisation, delivery and emerging risks. Build capability and succession within the team, identifying development opportunities and future talent needs. Create an inclusive environment in which different perspectives are actively sought and people are able to challenge assumptions. Hold yourself and others accountable for delivering ambitious outcomes while maintaining focus and sustainable ways of working. Requirements We are looking for an experienced leader who has previously owned a meaningful fraud, risk, trust & safety, operational or related business domain. You will ideally bring: Significant experience in fraud, risk strategy, trust & safety, marketplace integrity, strategy & operations or a related domain, typically gained over 10+ years. Experience leading and developing experienced individual contributors and/or managers. Demonstrated ownership of a substantial business outcome, risk domain or portfolio rather than solely individual projects. A track record of defining and executing strategies across a 1-2 year horizon. Experience identifying complex problems, setting direction and making high-quality decisions where the answer is not immediately clear. Strong commercial judgement and the ability to evaluate financial impact alongside customer and operational consequences. Experience influencing senior stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Operations, Analytics and Finance. Strong analytical judgement and the ability to use data, customer insight and operational evidence to challenge assumptions and make decisions. Experience translating complex problems into scalable product, policy or operational solutions. Strong people leadership, with evidence of developing talented individuals and creating teams that operate effectively with increasing autonomy. Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to turn complex analysis into clear executive-level recommendations. Experience with refund abuse, customer claims fraud, payments fraud, marketplace abuse or adjacent fraud domains would be valuable, but deep expertise in refund fraud itself is not essential. We are equally interested in leaders who have demonstrated the ability to quickly understand a complex risk domain and build the strategy and organisation required to improve it. What Success Looks Like In this role, you will have built a clear and widely understood C&R Fraud strategy, established measurable outcomes and guardrails, and focused the organisation on a number of high-impact priorities. You will have materially improved our ability to prevent and respond to refund abuse while protecting genuine customers, created a scalable control and monitoring framework, and influenced the product investments required to address systemic vulnerabilities. You will have built a team capable of owning complex problems independently - creating an organisation that anticipates risk and continuously improves rather than reacting to the fraud we see today.
