• Design and implement lightweight systems, templates, and processes that improve clarity without adding bureaucracy 
• Identify recurring points of friction in how Product operates and solve them through better tooling, workflows, or cadence 
• Support change adoption by aligning teams around new operating standards and practices 

In this role, success means:

• Portfolio visibility is stronger across teams and domains 
• Product reviews are more structured and decision-useful

• Exposure to fintech, payments, SaaS, platforms, marketplaces, or other complex product environments

About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist specializing in Fraud and Risk to join our Cape Town Data Science team. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of protecting our affiliate marketing ecosystem by researching, developing, and deploying ML models that detect and prevent fraud across attribution, lead quality, and partner compliance. You'll work on high-impact problems spanning traditional fraud patterns and emerging threats—from attribution manipulation to browser extension abuse—while building production systems that scale. This is an opportunity to combine rigorous analytical work with tangible business impact in a fast-moving, adversarial domain.

Core Responsibilities

Research & model development

• Conduct R&D on fraud detection and risk monitoring across the digital advertising ecosystem, including attribution fraud, lead fraud, click injection, browser extension abuse (e.g., Honey-style coupon hijacking), brand safety violations, and creator authenticity verification.
• Design, prototype, and validate ML models and rule-based systems for fraud detection, partner risk scoring, compliance monitoring, and trust & safety workflows.
• Research and apply graph-based fraud detection techniques (community detection, link analysis, behavioral clustering) and explore graph database applications for modeling relationships between users, devices, transactions, and partners to uncover coordinated fraud rings and suspicious network patterns.
• Stay ahead of emerging fraud patterns through continuous learning—monitoring industry trends, reviewing academic literature, exploring data for novel anomalies, and collaborating closely with Product, Compliance, and Trust & Safety teams.

Production deployment & iteration

• Deploy Fraud and Risk ML models to production; own the end-to-end delivery from ETL, feature engineering, model training, deployment, to monitoring.
• Iterate on live models by adding new features, improving performance (precision/recall/F1), and reducing false positives.
• Partner with MLOps and Engineering to ensure models are robust, scalable, and production-ready (testing, alerts, drift monitoring, retraining pipelines).

Data analytics & insights

• Perform deep-dive analyses on fraud trends, partner behavior, and risk patterns to inform model strategy and business decisions.
• Translate analytical findings into actionable recommendations for Product, Marketing, and Finance stakeholders.
• Build dashboards and reports to communicate model performance, fraud impact, and risk metrics to leadership.

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Finance to scope requirements, prioritize work, and align on success metrics.
• Communicate technical work clearly to non-technical audiences; present findings and tradeoffs in planning forums and reviews.
• Contribute to a culture of experimentation, documentation, and knowledge sharing within the Data Science team.

Requirements

Essential

• Experience: 5+ years in data science, ML, or advanced analytics, with at least 2+ years focused on fraud detection, risk modeling, or anomaly detection in production environments.
• Fraud & risk domain expertise: Demonstrated experience building and deploying fraud or risk models (classification, anomaly detection, time-series analysis, graph-based methods).
• Technical skills:
• Strong Python and SQL; proficiency with ML libraries (scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, or similar).
• Experience with feature engineering, model evaluation (ROC/AUC, precision-recall, cost-sensitive learning), and handling imbalanced datasets.
• Familiarity with production ML workflows (versioning, monitoring, A/B testing, model retraining).
• Analytical rigor: Strong foundation in statistics and ML; ability to design experiments, validate models, and interpret results with business context.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex technical work into clear insights for stakeholders; experience presenting to cross-functional teams.
• Education: Bachelor's in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Math, Engineering, or similar); Master's/PhD preferred.

Preferred / Nice to have

• Experience in affiliate marketing, ad tech, or e-commerce fraud (attribution fraud, click fraud, lead validation, coupon abuse).
• Familiarity with browser extension detection, fingerprinting, or device/user identity resolution.
• Experience with graph analytics or network-based fraud detection (community detection, link analysis, behavioral clustering).
• Knowledge of privacy-preserving ML techniques or working with privacy-constrained data.
• Experience with real-time or near-real-time scoring and low-latency deployment (e.g., REST APIs, streaming pipelines).
• Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Cloud Run) and/or Databricks/Spark for large-scale data processing.
• Exposure to rule engines, decision trees, or hybrid rule-ML systems for compliance and risk workflows.

What sets you apart

• Adversarial thinking: You understand how fraudsters operate and can anticipate evasion tactics and evolving attack vectors.
• Pragmatic delivery: You balance rigor with speed, prioritizing MVPs and iterative improvement over perfection.
• Business impact orientation: You focus on measurable outcomes (fraud loss reduction, false positive rates, operational efficiency) and communicate ROI clearly.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive in evolving problem spaces, defining your own roadmap when fraud patterns shift or new threats emerge.
• Collaboration and influence: You build trust across teams and can drive adoption of your models through enablement, documentation, and clear storytelling.

• Provide direct people management: coaching, performance feedback, career development, delegation, hiring input, and team health
• Set and align technical approach for the squad; make or drive key decisions, resolve cross-engineer disagreements, and ensure designs fit architecture and guidelines
• Drive coordination to meet quarterly objectives - work breakdown, sequencing, dependency management, and alignment with stakeholders across a distributed team
• Serve as the final accountable approver for PRs, release readiness, point releases, and build/stage stability; ensure operational discipline is followed
• Own timely incident response patterns, drive follow-up, ensure preventative actions happen (not just fixes), and improve processes to reduce recurrence
• Set engineering standards for the squad (documentation expectations, review rigor, testing discipline, quality bars) and ensure consistency
• Break down complex data logic into small, testable units and model this practice for the team
• Instrument systems with strong observability - metrics and tracing - to support debugging and operational confidence
• Develop code both independently and while pair programming

The role in a nutshell:

In Luno’s customer-focused environment, the Workforce Analyst plays a key role in driving operational excellence through data, insights, and planning. You will create, maintain, and continuously improve schedules and forecasts to enable the achievement of service-level goals while ensuring the best possible experience for both customers and our Customer Success teams.

You’ll use your analytical expertise and scenario-based thinking to help Luno stay ahead of changing customer behaviors and global crypto trends. This means not only reacting to volume changes but anticipating them—collaborating closely with Customer Success leadership and global WFM peers to ensure our plans are flexible, data-informed, and future-ready.

You’re an analytical problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and can translate data into clear operational decisions. You bring strong communication skills, curiosity, and a continuous improvement mindset that helps shape how we work today and how we plan for tomorrow.

Your mission will involve:

• Serving as a subject-matter expert on workforce optimisation and capacity planning.
• Ensuring service level targets are consistently achieved through accurate forecasting, scheduling, and proactive planning.
• Building and maintaining forecasting models that account for historical data, customer trends, seasonality, and external market factors (including crypto market activity).
• Developing scenario-based plans to anticipate potential surges, downtime, or unexpected events, ensuring we are operationally prepared for varying demand scenarios.
• Maintaining, testing, and improving our scheduling software and workforce tools.
• Conducting data analysis to identify opportunities for improved coverage, productivity, and cost efficiency.
• Collaborating with Customer Success leadership and Team Leads to review scheduling effectiveness and adjust approaches based on feedback, performance trends, and evolving customer needs.
• Reporting on key workforce metrics such as Service Level, Forecast Accuracy, AHT, Shrinkage, Coverage, and CPH, and providing insights and recommendations.
• Continuously reviewing and refining WFM processes to enhance flexibility and responsiveness to market and business changes.
• Monitoring intraday performance, identifying real-time risks or opportunities, and making actionable recommendations.
• Maintaining and approving time-off requests, tracking attendance, and managing non-productive time to ensure optimal staffing balance.

In your first six months, you will:

• Build strong partnerships with the Customer Success and WFM teams across regions to understand operational needs and planning nuances.
• Support the implementation of an enhanced WFM framework, evaluating tools and processes for greater accuracy and agility.
• Lead scenario-based forecasting reviews, linking crypto market activity and customer engagement trends to potential demand impacts.
• Create data visualisations and dashboards that help stakeholders quickly understand performance trends and planning outcomes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement projects focused on schedule optimization, forecasting precision, and global capacity alignment.

The ideal Lunaut for this role:

• 2+ years Workforce Management experience, preferably in a multi-region or high-growth environment.
• Strong analytical background with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights and recommendations.
• Experience using forecasting and scheduling tools, as well as proficiency in Google Sheets, Excel, or BI tools (e.g. Looker).
• Demonstrated ability to plan for different operational scenarios and model the impact of business or market changes.
• Collaborative mindset — comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels to align plans and drive improvements.
• Detail-oriented and proactive with excellent problem-solving, time management, and communication skills.
• Adaptable to change, resilient under pressure, and passionate about improving processes and finding smarter ways of working.

 Life at Luno:

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not negatively discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Mission

We’re on a mission to help more people thrive in tech — becoming the central place for software makers to build great careers and for companies to build winning teams.

Within the Marketing team at OfferZen, our focus is to grow and engage our community of developers and companies through valuable content, events, reports, tools, and campaigns.

Design plays a key role in this — it’s how our brand shows up in the world, how we stay distinct in a market that often looks the same, and how we move from ideas to impact at pace.

As a Marketing Graphic Designer, your mission is to bring our brand to life across the full funnel while helping us scale how we design and deliver — through high-quality creative, reusable systems, and well-executed brand touchpoints like swag and events.

About the role

This role is focused on strong execution with room to grow. *Please note: This is a 12-month contract role that requires occasional visit to our Cape Town office. 

You’ll work closely with the marketing team and alongside a design lead, taking ideas and turning them into clear, high-quality visual outputs across campaigns, content, and brand touchpoints.

A key part of the role is not just delivering assets, but helping us move from one-off design work toward a more scalable system — through templates, reusable assets, and consistent visual patterns.

You’ll also play an important role in bringing the brand to life beyond digital — owning how swag is designed, produced, and delivered across campaigns and events, and helping build simple, reliable systems that ensure quality, consistency, and readiness at scale.

Outcomes

• We consistently ship high-quality, on-brand creative across campaigns, content, and community
• Design is no longer a bottleneck for marketing delivery
• We are building a growing library of reusable assets (templates, illustrations, components)
• The OfferZen brand feels consistent, distinct, and recognisable across all touchpoints
• The team is empowered with templates and tools to self-serve where appropriate
• OfferZen Swag is high-quality, on-brand, and event-ready at all times, supported by efficient systems for inventory, ordering, and cost control

Responsibilities

Design and deliver high-quality visual assets across a range of marketing needs:

• Ad creatives for paid campaigns
• Campaign collateral (banners, landing visuals, email assets)
• Blog, report, and social media creatives
• Sales and internal enablement materials
• Event and community assets
• Swag (t-shirts, stickers, print materials, etc.)

Contribute to improving how we design over time:

• Create and maintain templates to reduce from-scratch work
• Support the development of our illustration and asset library (e.g. dinocorn system)
• Apply and maintain consistency across all outputs
• Iterate on feedback and continuously improve the quality and impact of designs

Own the swag system:

• Manage swag ordering end-to-end (quotes, suppliers, approvals, timelines)
• Maintain accurate swag inventory and run regular stock takes with help of our office manager
• Ensure swag is shipped on time events, campaigns, and candidate placements with the help of our office manager
• Ensure all events are fully prepared with the right swag, in the right quantities, on time
• Identify opportunities to simplify and standardise the swag system (cost effective options, reusable designs, better processes)

What will make you a good fit

We’re looking for someone with strong design fundamentals who wants to grow into a more senior designer or marketer over time.

Core requirements:

• 2-3 years experience in graphic design
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates layout, typography, illustration and visual clarity
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• Capable illustrator, able to generate on brand assets
• Comfortable designing across multiple formats (digital and print)
• Super organised, proactive and detail-orientated 

Nice to have:

• Experience designing for marketing or brand 
• Exposure to templates or design system
• Familiarity with Figma or similar tools
• Ability to animate / create motion graphics
• Basic knowledge of AI implementation in design workflows

How you work

• You care about clarity and craft, not just aesthetics
• You’re comfortable working from briefs and iterating on feedback
• You have strong attention to detail and take pride in polished output
• You’re proactive and look for ways to improve how things are done
• You’re curious and invested in growing your skills over time

What We’re Looking For:

The Manager, Executive Education Analytics is responsible for the day-to-day analytical leadership of the Exec Ed program pod in Cape Town. This role sits between the Director and the analyst team  -  translating strategic direction into operational rigor, ensuring analysts are producing high-quality outputs on time, and serving as the primary point of accountability for program-level spend and performance across the pod. You will manage a team of analysts who each own a portfolio of Exec Ed programs end-to-end, and you will be expected to know every program in your pod well enough to speak to it at any moment. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both people management depth and strong analytical credibility.

Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To:

1. Team Management &  Analyst Development

• Manage and develop a pod of 3-4 analysts, each responsible for demand generation analytics and program performance for a defined set of Exec Ed programs.
• Set and maintain a high quality bar for analyst outputs - spend plans, forecasts, and meeting preparation should not reach stakeholders without a manager's review.
• Run structured 1:1s with each analyst focused on work quality, skill development, and wellbeing - not just status updates.
• Actively develop analyst capability particularly in areas where the new unified model requires growth: spend planning, forecasting methodology, and partner communication.
• Manage capacity and prioritization across the pod, escalating to the Director when workload or capability creates genuine delivery risk.

 2. Spend Management & Budget Oversight

• Own the pod-level view of Exec Ed spend tracking actuals versus plan across all programs in the pod and flagging material variances to the Director in a timely manner.
• Review and approve analyst spend plans before they are submitted to the media execution team, ensuring plans are analytically sound and aligned to program goals.
• Serve as the escalation point for spend-related questions from media, finance, or internal stakeholders within your pod.
• Ensure analysts are held accountable to budget accuracy and that spend decisions are documented and defensible.

 3. Analytics & Program Performance

• Maintain a real-time view of all programs in the pod  -  you should be able to speak to any program's status, funnel performance, and risks without preparation.
• Review cohort forecasts produced by analysts ensuring they reflect current pacing, are methodologically consistent, and are ready for stakeholder consumption.
• Own submit-to-registration analysis at the pod level  -  identifying systemic patterns across programs and surfacing insights to the Director and broader team.
• Ensure the pod meeting cadence is maintained with analysts leading well-prepared, data-driven program performance conversations on the agreed schedule.

 4.  Portfolio Visibility & Stakeholder Engagement

• Contribute to portfolio-level reporting by ensuring pod-level data is accurate, submitted on time, and in the correct format for rollup by the Director.
• Serve as a senior analytical resource in stakeholder conversations where analyst-level presence is insufficient - stepping in to provide additional context or credibility.
• Partner with US-based colleagues including the broader Analytics leadership team, maintaining tight alignment on spend plans, forecasting methodology, and portfolio priorities.
• Support partner-facing engagements as needed, ensuring that the analytical narrative presented to university partners is accurate, clear, and reflects the full picture of program performance.

 5.  Operations & Team Rhythm

• • Own the operational cadence of the pod including spend plan submission timelines, forecast cycles, and program meeting schedules.
  • Establish and maintain team norms around data hygiene, output formatting, and stakeholder communication  particularly important as the CT team is new and norms are being set.
  • Coordinate with the Lead Analyst (Portfolio) to ensure program-level data flows correctly into portfolio analytics workstreams such as contact strategy and partner reporting.
  • Identify and flag process improvement opportunities including areas where tooling or automation could reduce manual work across the pod.

Things That Should Be In Your Background:

• 5+ years of experience in analytics, with at least 1-2 years in a people management or formal mentoring role.
• Strong command of demand generation analytics, media spend management, and registration or enrollment funnel performance.
• Proven ability to hold a team accountable to output quality and deadlines while maintaining a coaching and development mindset.
• Highly organized - you can track multiple programs, workstreams, and analyst portfolios simultaneously without dropping threads.
• Strong communicator, comfortable in both internal stakeholder settings and cross-timezone collaboration with US-based leadership.
• Analytically credible - you can engage deeply with the work your analysts are producing and identify issues before they reach stakeholders.
• Proficiency in analytics and BI tools; SQL or equivalent querying skills.

Other Attributes That Will Help You In This Role:

• Experience in higher education, ed-tech, or an enrollment- or subscription-based business.
• Familiarity with CRM systems, contact strategy analytics, or customer journey frameworks.
• Experience working in a globally distributed team with remote leadership.

•  Exposure to cohort-level forecasting methodology and registration funnel analytics.
