S&O Manager - Rider Fraud

About the role

This role will lead our approach to understanding and reducing courier/rider fraud and abuse across Wolt and the company. Combining data-led investigation with strong operational judgement, you will identify emerging risk patterns, understand the features of our operating models that may contribute to those risks, and assess their potential impact.

A key part of the role is turning insight into action. You will translate analysis into clear, proportionate policies and operational responses that protect platform integrity and customer outcomes, while remaining practical to implement and appropriate for the markets in which we operate. You will work closely with Legal, Public Policy, Product, Data Science and Operations to navigate complex legal and regulatory considerations and ensure our approach is effective, fair and robust.

Lead a programme of work to identify, assess and prioritise courier/rider fraud and abuse risks across Wolt and the company.

• Translate identified risks into proportionate policy, process and operational responses, balancing risk reduction with customer outcomes, courier/rider experience and business practicality.

• Lead the implementation, monitoring and ongoing refinement of fraud and abuse policies, with clear measures of effectiveness and residual risk.

• Ensure policy approaches are developed with appropriate consideration of legal, regulatory, compliance and reputational implications.

Build a deep understanding of our courier/rider operating models, incentive structures and end-to-end journeys to identify where fraud or abuse risk may arise, using data, operational knowledge and structured, hypothesis-led analysis.

• Develop analytical approaches and key metrics to identify patterns, quantify impact, assess detection signals and measure the effectiveness of policy interventions over time.

• Define new policies, or revise existing ones, in response to identified risks that may negatively affect customers, couriers/riders, the platform or the wider business.

• Conduct impact and risk assessments, framing clear options and recommendations that consider effectiveness, operational feasibility, cost, legal and regulatory requirements, and potential unintended consequences.

• Partner closely with Legal, Public Policy, Product, Data Science, Trust and Operations teams to shape business requirements, implement agreed responses and resolve complex trade-offs.

• Establish effective ways of working across Wolt and the company so that emerging trends, priority risks and lessons from policy performance are identified early and shared with relevant stakeholders.

• Lead cross-functional delivery from problem identification through to implementation, reporting and post-launch monitoring, adapting the approach as new evidence emerges.

6+ years’ experience in fraud, risk, compliance, policy, operations, consulting or a related field.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to combine data, operational context and judgement to identify root causes and prioritise action.

• Experience translating complex or ambiguous risk issues into practical policies, recommendations and implementation plans.

• Experience navigating complex legal and regulatory landscapes and working constructively with Legal and Public Policy stakeholders.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to influence senior and cross-functional stakeholders and challenge constructively when needed.

• Strong project-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple work streams, prioritise effectively and drive delivery in a fast-paced environment.

• Comfortable using AI-enabled tools appropriately to support analysis, hypothesis generation and problem solving.
