- Design fraud detection controls in partnership with Product and Engineering, including application-stage signals and post-approval monitoring
- Own weekly fraud intelligence reporting to Director, Risk and CFO — pattern observations, P&L impact, and recommended policy actions
- Partner with Legal/Compliance on escalation of coordinated fraud events and regulatory documentation
- Coordinate with Credit Underwriting on application fraud signals and with Member Support on high-severity card fraud cases
- 7+ years of relevant experience

- People leadership — managing investigators or analysts
- SEON or equivalent fraud detection platform
- Salesforce case management
- BSA/AML familiarity
- Familiarity with KYB outputs and how to read them for fraud signals
- Strong written communication — ability to escalate fraud patterns to leadership with clarity and impact
