• Deep expertise in fraud prevention, with hands-on experience across multiple fraud domains (e.g., new account fraud, transaction fraud, first-party fraud)
• Industry background in money movement — fintech, banking, payments, or similar environments where financial fraud is the core scope
• Technically proficient: able to write or read code (SQL, SAS, Python, or equivalent), even if not actively coding in the role
• Comfortable with how machine learning models work and how they integrate into fraud decisioning
• Clear and compelling communicator with the ability to influence across teams and levels
• Detail-oriented with the operational depth to serve as a backup resource in a fraud incident scenario
• Skilled at navigating trade-offs and prioritizing high-impact strategic initiatives in a fast-moving environment

• Partner closely with modeling, engineering, and senior leadership to align on fraud priorities and resource trade-offs
