What’s the opportunity?

As our Fraud Analyst III - Tactics, you will lead and define the fraud prevention strategy for complex industries and key global merchants. Your objective will be to own the decision-making process for our most challenging scenarios, optimizing the balance between risk mitigation (chargebacks), user experience, and business growth. You will act as a strategic bridge between data insights and commercial objectives, driving the team toward an AI-first culture and identifying opportunities to turn fraud prevention into a revenue-enabling function.

What will I be doing?

• Leading the identification of complex fraud patterns through proactive data analysis, anticipating emerging threats before they impact the business.
• Designing and standardizing strategic rules and automated frameworks that can be scaled across different industries and teams.
• Mentoring junior and mid-level analysts, acting as a technical reference, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence.
• Collaborating with Data Science to refine machine learning models, acting as the subject matter expert to propose new features and optimize scoring thresholds.
• Taking ownership of KPIs for major industries, balancing fraud targets with conversion and revenue goals, and presenting clear “data stories” to senior stakeholders.
• Driving automation and AI capabilities, actively exploring new tools (like AI agents or LLMs) to minimize manual review and increase the team’s operational velocity.

What skills do I need?

• Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Engineering, Statistics, or a related field.
• 3 - 5+ years of experience in fraud prevention, risk management, or high-scale data-driven roles.
• Advanced command of large databases; SQL is a must.
• Knowledge of Python or a similar data-oriented language is a plus.
• Automation & AI Mindset: Genuinely curious and eager to explore new technologies (LLMs, automated agents, or workflow tools) to solve traditional fraud challenges and improve efficiency.
• Experience with data management tools such as AWS Athena, Sagemaker, or Quicksight is a bonus.
• Strategic Communication: Ability to translate complex data findings into clear, actionable business recommendations for diverse audiences.
• Proactive leader, team player, and natural problem-solver who thrives in “exploring” new ways to do things.
• Fluent in written and spoken English.
