Payments, Fraud & Identity Analyst

At PointsBet, we have only built a fraction of what we have imagined.

Launched in Australia in 2017, PointsBet is committed to delivering the ultimate betting experience. As a global leader in the industry, our people are united by a shared mission: to push boundaries and elevate the thrill of the game – always with a focus on a safe, responsible experience for all users. Our diverse team brings together the best of tech, sports knowledge and creative vision to deliver an exciting platform for sports and racing enthusiasts worldwide.

About Us:

PointsBet’s Payments, Fraud & Identity team keeps our customers safe and our platform trusted – fast reviews, sharp decisions and tooling that keeps getting better. It’s a genuine intersection of payments and fintech, identity and KYC, operations, service and regulatory compliance.

About the Role:

In this role, you’ll run the frontline reviews that keep everything moving, own a set of areas end-to-end, and have a real say in how they’re run. This includes driving the weekly calibration meetings and the reporting that tracks them. You’ll work across the business, raise the improvement ideas others miss, and pick up initiatives and projects that leave a measurable mark. And you’ll do it with an AI-first mindset, always curious about how the latest tooling can make the work sharper.

This is a hands-on, operational role for someone who likes to get things done, wants exposure across a broad range of domains, and likes owning initiatives that have measurable impact.
