Fraud and Risk Manager

About Us

First Circle is one of the fastest-growing FinTech companies in the country, providing financial services to under-served SMEs. We've already transformed access to credit for thousands of businesses, and now we're building a full-stack neobank offering multi-currency bank accounts, payments, FX, corporate credit cards, and payroll. As we enter this next phase of growth, we're hiring exceptional talent with a track record of excellence to join us in shaping the next chapter.

We are hiring a Fraud and Risk manager to lead strategy and execution across all these domains. You are familiar with the risk landscape for fintechs, you can spot problems before they arise, and you can design and implement the very solutions that protect us against them. At First Circle, you will work closely with product, engineering, operations, legal and compliance, and executive leadership to build a highly resilient business — while supporting our continued growth. 

First Circle is changing financial services for small businesses in the Philippines. The sky is the limit for someone who wants to get stuck in and make a difference.
