Risk -vendor Manager

Uber Uber · Consumer · Bangalore, India +1 · Community Operations

This role is for an Account Security & Risk (ASR) vendor manager at Uber, focusing on supporting outsourced operations. The manager will act as a bridge between BPO partners and internal risk teams, ensuring precise handling of account security inquiries, fraud prevention workflows, and account restriction appeals. The role requires vigilance, detail-orientation, and execution focus to protect user identities and platform integrity, guiding BPO agents through complex security escalations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Frontline Escalation Management: Act as the primary point of contact for BPO agents handling complex or high-risk security cases (e.g., account takeovers, sophisticated fraud loops, and sensitive account updates).
  2. Resolution Excellence: Ensure timely, accurate, and compliant resolution of customer appeals regarding hacked accounts, identity verification (KYC) failures, and fraud-related restrictions.
  3. Balance Security & Experience: Execute support workflows that strictly adhere to security protocols while maintaining an empathetic, customer-centric approach to distressed users.
  4. BPO Workflow Alignment: Monitor day-to-day BPO metrics (SLA, QA, and productivity) specifically for risk workflows, ensuring agents are executing steps with zero room for error.
  5. Root-Cause Analysis: Conduct regular ticket deep-dives to identify fraud trends, agent knowledge gaps, or systemic process vulnerabilities, feeding these insights back to the ASR Lead.
