Klarna
At Klarna, we're building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Working here means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else — you'll build with AI, not watch it happen. This is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.
About the role
As Fraud Operations Lead, you sit at the intersection of operational execution and fraud intelligence, shaping how fraud operations evolve as Klarna scales. You'll improve how teams, processes, and tools work together to deliver efficient, high-quality outcomes across consumer and partner fraud. This position combines leadership with hands-on expertise. You'll own operational quality while continuously advancing how the work is performed.
What you'll do
- You'll own and evolve Klarna's fraud operations framework.
- You'll lead a team of specialists while staying hands-on, so you understand the processes and can keep quality high.
- You'll work closely with external vendors while keeping expertise in-house, so the team can validate workflows, step in during operational peaks, and keep improving performance.
- You'll identify inefficiencies and optimize processes to make operations more consistent and effective.
- You'll act as the bridge between fraud operations and the wider fraud function, including prevention, detection, and investigation. That means making sure operational insights inform strategy and that changing priorities turn into scalable processes.
