Risk Management & Incident Response:

  • Lead root cause analyses of fraud escalation trends and implement controls or process changes to reduce future impact.

  • Support audits, regulatory reviews, and internal investigations related to fraud handling and resolution.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:

  • Serve as a key liaison between the fraud resolution team and internal stakeholders including customer support, risk management, product, and executive leadership.

  • Communicate complex fraud findings clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Advocate for system or process improvements that enhance the customer experience and reduce fraud exposure.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation:

  • Stay informed about the latest fraud tactics, customer impact trends, and financial crime prevention technologies.

  • Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and integrate tools that enhance fraud case management and reporting.

  • Recommend improvements that streamline operations, reduce resolution time, and improve customer satisfaction.

    Bring Your Passion, Do What You Love. Here’s What We’re Looking For:

    • Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in finance, criminal justice, business, or a related field, and a minimum of 12 years of related experience; or an advanced degree with 8+ years of experience; or equivalent relevant work experience.

    • At least 5–7 years of experience managing and developing investigative or fraud operations teams, ideally within financial services or banking.

    • Strong understanding of fraud types (e.g., account takeover, check fraud, identity theft, card fraud), investigative techniques, and regulatory obligations (e.g., Reg E, Reg Z, UDAAP).

    • Experience working cross-functionally with customer service, legal, compliance, and technology teams.

    Leadership Skills:

    • Proven ability to lead and motivate high-performing teams in a fast-paced, high-risk environment.

    • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to navigate sensitive situations involving customers and stakeholders.

    • Strategic thinker with a customer-first mindset and a bias toward action and continuous improvement.
