The role
Are you energised by complex problems, real autonomy, and the chance to innovate? If fraud management - and its constantly changing landscape - excites you, this is the role.
Reportingdirectlyto the Director of RiskAnalytics,you’lluse deep data analysis to design, build, and productionise fraud strategies and models across the lifecyclebalancing loss reduction with healthy approvals.You’llwork across large, multi-source datasets, run A/B and champion–challenger tests, and turn analytics into clear, deployable decision logic that moves the needle.
Whatyou’llbe doing
* Own global fraud decisioning: rules, thresholds, step-up controls optimised for £-EL reduction at stable approval rates.
* Build models end-to-end: problem framing, label/observation window design, sampling, feature engineering, training (logistic/GBM), calibration, back-testing, validation, documentation, and deployment into production decisioning.
* Experiment & ship: A/B and champion–challenger tests; cost-based optimisation; roll out winners quickly.
* Monitor & govern:Robust dashboards/alerts for model drift, PSI, stability, leakage, review yield, chargeback/refund ratios; publish a concise weekly fraud pack.
* Data & vendors:Evaluate newdata sources and vendors, integrate where ROI is positive, and track performance over time.
* Cross-functional impact: translate analytics into clear policies/playbooks; work with Product/Engineering to land decision logic cleanly and safely.
What we thinkyou’llneed
* Experience in an analytical fraud management role with measurable impact (we expect this to be 2-4 years, as a rough guide).
* Up-to-date awareness of emerging fraud trends and the latest controls to manage them with a habit of turning intel into tests, rules, or model features quickly.
* Hands-on modelling experience: feature engineering and building/validating fraud models; understanding of ROC/PR curves, Gini/KS, calibration, stability.
* Ability to communicate clearly - turn complex analysis into crisp recommendations.
* Proactive, autonomous working style; you know when to dive deep and when to align stakeholders.
* Experience deploying models to production or translating models into rules/strategies in a decision engine.
* Experience with Power BI or Looker for reliable, self-serve dashboards.
* GCP exposure and familiarity with version control (Git) are a plus.
* A solid STEM background helps - but aptitude and impact matter most.
