1. What is a Business Analyst at LegitScript?
At LegitScript, a Business Analyst—often designated within operations as an Analyst I, Merchant Monitoring—serves as a critical line of defense in maintaining trust and safety across the global e-commerce ecosystem. This role is not a traditional corporate business-intelligence position; rather, it functions as a specialized digital investigator and compliance researcher. You will analyze complex, ambiguous online entities, payment systems, and merchant behaviors to determine if they comply with commercial policies, card brand rules, and international laws.
The impact of your work in this role is immediate and far-reaching. By identifying deceptive practices, high-risk merchant setups, and illicit online pharmacies or cyber-forensic anomalies, you directly protect payment networks, partner platforms, and everyday consumers from fraud and harm. You will dive deep into the corners of the internet, analyzing data points that are often intentionally hidden or obscured by bad actors.
This position requires a unique blend of intellectual curiosity, rigorous analytical stamina, and exceptional written communication. Because the internet evolves rapidly, you will constantly face new regulatory frameworks and deceptive tactics. For a professional who enjoys solving complex puzzles, conducting open-source intelligence (OSINT) research, and writing structured, evidence-based reports, this role offers an incredibly engaging and purposeful career path.
