As a member of the EDD team, you will be responsible for conducting high-quality investigative reviews on high-risk or complex cases. Operating at the front line of GoFundMe’s efforts to protect donors, fundraiser organizers, beneficiaries, and our company from financial crimes and abuse, you will serve as an escalation point for internal teams. In this role, you will perform in-depth EDD analyses, apply judgment to assess risk, and ensure each review is supported by clear, comprehensive, and well-documented findings.
The Job

- Gather and analyze information from internal systems, open-source intelligence, and third-party data sources to support risk assessments and investigative conclusions.
- Document investigative findings clearly and comprehensively in internal case management systems to support defensible decision-making and audit requirements.
- Analyze complex organizational structures, ownership, and operational activity to assess legitimacy and risk exposure.

- Contribute to process improvements and operational initiatives to enhance the effectiveness and scalability of the EDD function.
