Head EMEA Refund Fraud, Integrity - Fixed Term Contract
Role Summary
Deliveroo is seeking a Head of EMEA Refund Fraud to lead their fraud prevention strategy, requiring strong leadership skills and experience in fraud management.
About the Organisation
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 Deliveroo 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 Deliveroo to manage refund fraud effectively at scale.
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.
At Deliveroo, 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.

Minimum 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:
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.
- 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.
