Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in fraud analytics, payments risk, or transaction monitoring (issuer, fintech, processor, or network environments).
• 5+ years leading analytics teams and/or owning a fraud analytics program with measurable outcomes.
• Strong expertise in transaction fraud concepts: authorization decisioning, rules strategy, model performance, and fraud operations workflows.
• Advanced analytics fluency: strong SQL and data storytelling; ability to translate data into clear decisions for executives and partners.
• Demonstrated ability to partner across functions and drive execution through influence (Product/Engineering/Ops/Compliance).
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast change—able to set direction while still driving results.
• Hands-on experience with modern analytics tooling (Tableau/Power BI, Python/R) and model development/monitoring (e.g., gradient boosting such as XGBoost/GBM, feature drift/PSI, A/B testing).
• Experience with real-time decisioning platforms and/or fraud engines (e.g., IBM Safer Payments, Falcon, Actimize, SAS, etc.).
• Familiarity with modern data stacks and streaming ecosystems (e.g., Snowflake/Databricks, Kafka, Spark).
• Strong understanding of governance and controls for production decisioning (release discipline, auditability, model risk practices).
• Desire to leverage AI to transform how we do business in Risk
• Hands On: We are looking for “player-coaches” so someone who is desirous of getting their hands dirty. If you can’t write your own SQL code, build business cases in Excel or create awesome PowerPoint presentations then this is not the right role for you.
• Ownership Mindset: We want you to treat this company like your own and run it with a high degree of initiative and passion to improve the customer experience for our customers and drive increased Corpay revenue and margin. We want you to create an ownership culture throughout every level of the organization. This would also mean that you are intellectually curious with a thirst for learning and true understanding.
• Leadership Traits: You are humble and yet driven. Humility means many things but being able to admit your mistakes so we can move faster, acknowledging when you don’t know or need help so we can, again, move faster, are a few examples. You speak your truth but know that “how” you say something is as important as “what” you say.
• Team Building Skills: This leader role is expected to drive change, create valuable partnerships across the organization, and support the internal team members. You have the ability to establish trust by putting other people first, influence positively, communicate clearly and have a high “say-do”.
• Business Acumen: You have strong business acumen which means a few things like (i) ability to think strategically, frame for success and execute tactically (ii) understand how to prioritize most important and (iii) deliver results over short, medium and long term etc.
• Attention to Detail: We are looking for people who have an eye for detail to figure out issues beyond high level trends.
• Data Driven: You identify and teach your team how to access and present data in clear, concise ways to support timely, well-informed, and sound decisions.
• Curiosity: We are looking for people who have a “hunger to learn” beyond their role and function and who can help others around them grow by influence.
• Innovation: You take an “open systems” approach to running the business by proactively searching for the best improvement and transformation ideas, internally and externally across industries.

• Direct the development, tuning, and deployment of fraud rules and predictive models; drive continual improvement through champion/challenger and iterative optimization.

• Serve as the primary analytics partner to Fraud Ops, Product, Engineering, Data, Compliance, and Customer teams to scale decisioning and improve customer experience.
• Translate emerging fraud patterns and operational signals into durable controls, automation, and platform enhancements.
• Drive alignment on tradeoffs (risk vs. friction) with clear, data-backed recommendations.
• Lead analytics response during major fraud events/incidents, including rapid analysis, containment actions, and executive updates.
• Own root-cause analysis and ensure postmortems result in lasting fixes (controls, monitoring, tooling, process, training).

• Create clear role definitions, career development paths, and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
