What you'll be doing

Join a team that plays a vital role in protecting customers and the business from fraud by developing smart, data-led solutions that make a real difference. You'll use insights from a wide range of data sources to design, optimise and monitor fraud controls across multiple fraud typologies, helping to reduce risk while improving the customer experience. With a strong focus on innovation, you'll identify opportunities to enhance existing controls, respond to emerging threats and support the development of effective strategies that prevent fraud before it occurs.

Working closely with colleagues across Fraud Strategy, Internal Fraud, Operations and wider business teams, you'll develop automated monitoring and controls, investigate emerging trends, and provide valuable oversight of control performance across the organisation. You'll also play an important role in supporting fraud incidents, identifying vulnerabilities within the control framework, and contributing to transformation initiatives that drive continuous improvement.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining analytics, technology and problem-solving to influence meaningful change. You'll have the chance to shape future fraud prevention capabilities, stay at the forefront of emerging technologies and industry developments, and provide insight that helps strengthen the organisation's approach to fraud risk management and innovation.

About you

To be successful in this role, you'll bring a strong background in fraud strategy, analytics and control optimisation, with the ability to translate complex data into effective fraud prevention solutions. You'll be comfortable working across a range of stakeholders, using data-driven insights to influence decisions and drive meaningful change.

As a minimum, you will have:

• Proven experience developing and implementing fraud prevention strategies across multiple fraud typologies, including application fraud, card fraud, mule activity and broader financial crime risks

• Demonstrable experience creating and enhancing automated fraud controls using multiple data sources, including developing data-driven solutions to detect and prevent internal fraud

• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience using SAS and/or SQL to interrogate data, identify trends and build fraud detection strategies

• Experience within a fraud, financial crime or risk environment in banking, insurance or wider financial services

• A track record of influencing stakeholders and successfully driving change across cross-functional teams, including Operations, Technology, Analytics and Risk functions

• Strong knowledge of fraud risks, emerging threats and industry trends, with the ability to assess potential impacts and recommend effective mitigating actions

• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex datasets, generate actionable insights and deliver practical, long-term fraud prevention outcomes

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers' shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind

• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think - we're honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand

• Push for better - We don't settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development

• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
