Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Business Development Manager - Risk & Fraud at Sportygroup B.V. is a strategic role focused on safeguarding platform integrity while enabling seamless customer journeys across emerging markets in Africa and LATAM, particularly in greenfield environments where regulatory and operational frameworks are being built from the ground up. This position is critical to ensuring that new market launches are compliant, secure, and scalable, directly impacting the company’s ability to expand responsibly while maintaining trust with users and regulators.
• Day-to-day responsibilities include monitoring fraud trends, risk ratios, and operational leakage across markets with regular reporting and insights; supporting new market launches by assessing regulatory frameworks, AML/KYC obligations, and optimizing onboarding and transaction flows in collaboration with Legal, Product, Tech, and Ops teams; conducting monthly competitor analysis on fraud tools and risk controls to ensure best-in-class security-user experience balance; partnering with Product and Tech to continuously improve onboarding, withdrawal, and transaction flows; evaluating, onboarding, and managing KYC, AML, fraud, and compliance partners; leading partner negotiations and driving cost optimization initiatives; supporting PCI DSS compliance, security audits, and broader regulatory readiness programs; ensuring end-to-end risk and fraud readiness for new market rollouts; and building dashboards and reporting frameworks to provide leadership with clear risk visibility and decision support.
• The team operates within a remote-first, sustainability-driven culture at Sporty Group, where cross-functional collaboration is essential. You will work closely with Product, Technology, Legal, and Operations teams across multiple markets, often in ambiguous, fast-moving environments that require initiative, adaptability, and strong stakeholder alignment. The company values innovation in risk design and sees compliance not as a barrier but as an enabler of sustainable growth.
• In this role, you will develop deep expertise in emerging market risk landscapes, regulatory navigation, and product-led fraud prevention strategies. You will gain hands-on experience in end-to-end market launch cycles, partner ecosystem management, and building scalable risk infrastructure — positioning you as a leader in global payments and digital trust, with clear pathways to influence company-wide risk strategy and advance into senior leadership roles in risk, compliance, or product risk management.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in risk, fraud, compliance, or payments security
• Strong working knowledge of KYC, AML, transaction monitoring, and risk controls
• Proven experience collaborating with product and engineering teams in fast-moving environments
• Highly analytical with strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Experience working in emerging markets strongly preferred
• Comfortable operating in greenfield, low-structure environments and managing multiple streams in parallel
• Highly adaptable and resilient, with the ability to navigate evolving regulatory and market requirements
• Strong stakeholder management skills across Product, Operations, Technology, Legal, and external partners
• Fluency in both written and spoken English is essential
