Description

Riipen is looking for a Compliance & Disputes Specialist to help protect the integrity of our platform, prevent fraudulent activity, and ensure a safe and trustworthy experience for our users.

This hands‐on role combines investigative work, data analysis, policy enforcement, and cross‐functional collaboration. You'll balance proactive compliance reviews with responding to escalations, identifying unusual activity, gathering evidence, and helping ensure that decisions are fair, consistent, and well‐documented. You'll also contribute to improving the processes and safeguards that help us identify and prevent issues before they escape.

This role is a solid fit for someone who is naturally curious, detail-oriented, and enjoys getting to the bottom of things. You're comfortable working independently, following the details wherever they lead, and using sound judgment to navigate situations that aren't always straightforward

This role is fully remote and open to candidates in Canada.

- Handle escalated user inquiries, overseeing the highest level of escalations related to disputes, platform integrity, and compliance issues.
- Investigate and resolve complex user disputes, ensuring all decisions are well‐documented, fair, and aligned with Riipen's policies.
- Oversee ID verification processes, ensuring accuracy and security in user authentication (Success Teams will provide initial support).
- Work cross‐functionally with customer success, legal,



and operations teams to maintain compliance and address concerns effectively.

Payment Dispute Resolution

- Own all payment disputes, investigating claims, gathering evidence, and determining appropriate resolutions.
- Manage escalated payments, handling transactions that require additional verification or review.
- Ensure all payment‐related escalations are documented and resolved within SLA, preventing fraudulent activity or misuse of funds.
- Coordinate with the finance team to process payments and refunds when necessary.

Decision Making & Documentation

- Render decisions on escalated cases, ensuring outcomes are well‐documented and communicated transparently to users.
- Maintain clear records of disputes, resolutions, and compliance actions, contributing to audit readiness and internal reporting.
- Stay up to date on compliance regulations, risk management best practices, and platform policies to ensure adherence.

Process Improvement & Risk Mitigation

- Continuously assess and refine compliance workflows, dispute resolution processes, and payment verification procedures.
- Identify trends in escalations and work proactively to reduce recurring issues through policy updates or preventative measures.
- Provide recommendations on best practices for fraud prevention, risk management, and platform integrity.

What you'll bring:





These aren't hard requirements but will be indicators that guide our search.

You may be a good fit if you have:

- Some experience in compliance, risk management, policy enforcement, fraud prevention, investigations, or a related field.
- Strong critical thinking and investigative skills, with a natural curiosity and the ability to recognize inconsistencies, ask thoughtful questions, and dig deeper to understand the full picture.
- Excellent attention to detail and the ability to review information, identify patterns, and make well‐reasoned decisions based on available evidence.
