At Teachable we empower creators to transform their knowledge into income. To accomplish this, our core product enables individuals and small businesses to create, host and sell online courses and coaching. We have over 40,000 subscribers teaching a diverse array of topics, ranging from crafting to card tricks to coding, who have collectively earned over $1.5 billion through Teachable. Fifty million people worldwide consider themselves to be creators. More than two million people earn enough from their passion projects to consider it their full-time income. The rise of the creator economy means more people than ever want to share what they know and monetize it. Teachable is poised to offer best-in-class solutions to this ever-growing market.
The ability to process credit cards is critical to Teachable’s business model and overall Mission. The Fraud team, and specifically Fraud Analysts, ensure that Teachable maintains acceptable chargeback rates so that our payment processing activities can continue. In addition, Fraud Analysts play an important role in identifying and managing fraud across the platform, thus strengthening the integrity of our offering and further protecting the Company, its employees and our Creators.
Metrics
- Overall goal is to minimize fraudulent activity, with the primary relevant metric being chargeback rate (CBR). Our goal is to never let our monthly CBR exceed 0.5% on any of Teachable’s native gateways
- Prevent Negative Balances from increasing with preventative measures (locking payouts, raising reserves)
- Maintain a 24 hour SLA for held payments in review
- Review all schools making their first sale within 24 hours
Methods
- Use software tools (including our in house Staff app alongside third-party tools like JIRA, Sigma, and Sift Science) to monitor Teachable customers for elevated levels of fraud and escalate actions accordingly, up to removing Creators from the platform
- Develop dashboards in Sigma (based on SQL) as needed to fit the team’s needs
- Develop and maintain machine learning workflows within Sift Science
- Work alongside Security Team to respond to platform-level threats
- Use critical thinking and analysis to determine whether schools and students are fraudulent under Teachable’s standards
- Correspond with customers via email to inform them of potential fraud and possible solutions
- Assist customers in disputing fraudulent transactions by entering data into our payment processor portal
- Send outreach and warnings to Creators about climbing chargeback rates
What We're Looking For
- Familiarity with Excel, Google sheets, SQL, Stripe
- Deep understanding of SaaS platforms
- 2-3 years of work experience in payment processing or Trust & Safety
- Strong written communication skills with the ability to explain complicated processes in writing in “plain English” to customers
- Familiarity navigating social media platforms, gauging online presence of Creators
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to operate in gray areas, comfort using your ‘gut’
- JIRA, Sift Science experience is a plus
