The posting, as Mission Lane wrote it

Mission Lane is combining the power of data, technology, and exceptional service to pave a clear way forward for millions of people on the path to financial success. By attracting top talent and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we’re enabling people to unlock real financial progress. Sound like a mission you can get behind?

We're looking for a Senior Operations Lead, Fraud to lead a team of Fraud Associates protecting cardholders and Mission Lane from fraudulent activity, reporting to the Principal Operations Lead.

Somewhere right now, one of our cardholders is checking their account after an unfamiliar charge shows up, waiting to find out whether their next few weeks get harder or stay on track. The moment your team catches that charge and clears it fast is the moment their progress keeps moving instead of stalling out.

• Build an inclusive team culture of trust, accountability, and open communication, recognizing individual and team wins
• Manage day-to-day team logistics: schedule adherence, time-off coverage, project assignments, and staffing through peak periods
• Translate company strategy and policy updates into clear, actionable direction for your team

You'll thrive in this role if

• You've led a customer operations, risk, or fraud team before and genuinely enjoy the coaching side of management, not just the metrics side
• You can read a performance dashboard and turn it into a specific coaching conversation, not just a status update
• You communicate directly and empathetically, even when the conversation is a hard one
• You're comfortable making a call on a high-risk case with incomplete information, and know when to escalate instead of guessing
