Head EMEA Refund Fraud, Integrity

About the Position

We are seeking a Head EMEA Refund Fraud, Integrity to lead our EMEA strategy for preventing and managing refund abuse across our marketplace.

Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team.

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.

Responsibilities

• Setting the C&R Fraud Strategy
• Owning Performance and Risk
• Build Scalable Fraud Prevention Capabilities
• Lead Cross-Functional Strategy and Investment
• Build and Lead a High-Performing Team

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 judgment 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 judgment 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 organization 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 organization 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 organization that anticipates risk and continuously improves rather than reacting to the fraud we see today.
