- Translate fraud questions and operational needs into clear analytical outputs and recommendations.
Strategic Insight & Decision Support - Provide actionable insights to fraud leadership to inform:
- Risk rules and thresholds
- Tooling and vendor evaluations
- Process improvements and operational tradeoffs
Qualifications - 5 plus years of experience in analytics, data analysis, or analytics engineering, with significant focus on fraud, risk, or payments.
- Expert-level SQL skills with experience working in cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
- Strong experience with dbt and modern analytics engineering best practices.
- Proven ability to take ambiguous, manual processes and turn them into clean, automated, scalable solutions.
- Experience working independently and owning projects end-to-end.
- Strong analytical judgment and ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Familiarity with:
- Chargeback workflows and card networks
- KYC/AML processes
- Fraud tooling or risk engines
- Experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Sigma, or similar.
What Success Looks Like - Fraud reporting and analysis are fully automated, reliable, and no longer dependent on manual spreadsheets.
- Fraud stakeholders trust and rely on your models and dashboards for day-to-day decision-making.
