Job Description

• Develop independent benchmarks, thresholds, segmentation frameworks, key risk indicators, and trend analyses to assess changes in fraud exposure, control effectiveness, customer outcomes, and loss performance.
• Design and maintain transparent, repeatable, and auditable analytical methodologies, monitoring frameworks, and governance processes that can be independently validated, refreshed, and reproduced as new data becomes available.
• Proactively identify emerging fraud threats, control weaknesses, and monitoring opportunities by sourcing and analyzing relevant data assets, developing actionable insights, and recommending risk mitigation actions to business and risk management stakeholders.
• Assess the fraud risk implications of significant business, product, strategy, model, vendor, and technology changes through independent impact analyses and provide risk-based recommendations
• Support strategic data and cloud modernization initiatives involving fraud analytics, monitoring solutions, reporting assets, and analytical controls, including migration to Databricks, Azure, cloud data platforms, and enterprise data domains.
