Trust And Safety Product Manager

We are seeking an experienced and mission-driven Trust & Safety Product Manager to lead the Product efforts to protect our Contributor ecosystem from fraud, abuse, and other integrity risks. In this role, you will be responsible for safeguarding our platform from a range of fraud vectors while ensuring an excellent, fair experience for our legitimate contributors, and healthy business growth.

You will build products and tooling to detect, prevent, and remediate fraud, while collaborating with our Engineering, Product, Finance and Operations teams. The ideal candidate combines strong analytical capabilities, a data-driven mindset, domain experience in Trust and Safety, a track record of collaborating with Product and Engineering (or leading relevant Product teams themselves), and experience driving integrity at high-growth marketplaces, gig platforms, or payment providers.

About The Role

Scale operates a global marketplace for talent, working with Contributors in over 100 countries.

We're looking for a Product Manager (or Senior PM) that will lead dedicated cross-functional teams to solve complex challenges that impact Contributors and Customers.

The Fraud team is a high-impact area to contribute to both the experience of Scale's unique and global contributor base, and offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of Scale.

You Will

• Set the product strategy for one of our vertical fraud teams or our horizontal platform fraud team.
• Develop and execute a data-driven, contributor-focused product roadmap through close collaboration with senior leadership, Operations, Data Science, Analytics, Design, and Engineering while balancing business needs.
• Translate customer and internal-user needs into clear, well-defined functional and technical requirements backed by data analysis and deep understanding of our users
• Guide and interface closely with data analysis and engineering teams to define scope, review and refine technical capabilities, prioritize projects for release, and define new opportunities.
• Build long-term instrumentation, monitoring, and evaluation capabilities for product performance, tracking, and to create product insights.
• Establish business cases and projected return on investment to identify and prioritize opportunities
• Partner with Finance and Business Leaders to manage the impact on the profitability of the overall business.

Ideally, You'd Have

• 5-8 years of experience in Product Management in the tech industry
• 3+ years of experience in the Risk/Trust & Safety/Fraud domains, with a proven track record of managing fraud, abuse, and adversarial behaviors
• Strong understanding of new and emerging fraud vectors enabled by AI
• Experience working in a high-growth, consumer-facing Marketplace business
• Experience in iterative, agile software delivery, with short release cycles
• Experience building products from the ground up, seeing them through the scaling journey of a business, and dogfooding to understand the users' perspective
• Strong business acumen and analytical experience, with demonstrated success in defining emerging or ambiguous user behaviors and driving continuous iteration in high-uncertainty environments.
• Deep understanding of modeling workflows, including data labeling, model training, inference, and deployment, with the ability to translate technical concepts into actionable product strategies.
• High level of proficiency in SQL
• Experienced in building scalable decision systems, partnering cross-functionally with policy, data science, and operations to enhance user protection and model reliability
