At Global Payments, we power millions of transactions every day, helping businesses grow while creating secure and seamless commerce experiences. We’re looking for a Risk Analyst III to join our ever-evolving Risk team and play a critical role in protecting our business, clients, and customers.
You’ll join a team that combines data, expertise, and innovation to make informed decisions in a fast-moving payments environment. Every analysis you perform and every control you implement contributes to a stronger, safer ecosystem for merchants and Global Payments. This is an opportunity to expand your expertise, influence key business decisions, and make a measurable impact across the organization.
In this role, you’ll own the evaluation of merchant risk, transaction activity, and fraud exposure to drive informed business decisions. You’ll create opportunities to strengthen risk controls, influence strategies that protect revenue and reputation, and deliver insights that support sustainable merchant growth. Your work will help shape the future of commerce by enabling secure, responsible, and scalable payment experiences.
What you’ll own.
• Drive effective risk management by evaluating merchant behavior, transaction activity, and operational performance to identify potential risks and opportunities.
• Implement and enhance risk controls that reduce fraud exposure, protect business performance, and support long-term merchant success.
• Analyze transaction trends and merchant data to identify emerging risks, recommend actions, and influence decision-making.
• Balance risk and business growth by applying risk tolerance frameworks that support secure transaction approvals and sustainable portfolio performance.
• Investigate unusual activity and potential fraud patterns, delivering timely recommendations that minimize financial and operational impact.
• Create actionable insights through data analysis that strengthen portfolio health and improve risk management outcomes.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to drive consistent risk practices, improve processes, and enhance the overall merchant experience.
• Influence continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to optimize controls, increase efficiency, and strengthen Global Payments’ risk posture.
What you’ll bring
• Experience in risk management, fraud prevention, payments, financial services, or a related analytical environment.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret transaction data, identify trends, and make sound risk-based decisions.
• Experience evaluating merchant performance, transaction behavior, or financial risk indicators.
• The ability to balance risk mitigation with business objectives while maintaining a client-focused mindset.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to make recommendations in complex or evolving situations.
• Effective communication skills, with the ability to present findings and influence stakeholders across different teams.
• A proactive, accountable, and detail-oriented approach with a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes.
