- Work with technology teams to improve monitoring systems.
- Analyze false positives and help improve detection accuracy.

- Present trends and findings to relevant stakeholders.
- Contribute to periodic risk reviews.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Business, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in fraud analysis, transaction monitoring, banking, fintech, payments, or financial risk.
- Strong analytical and investigative abilities.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Strong Excel and data-analysis skills.
- Familiarity with SQL or analytical tools is advantageous.
- Ability to interpret complex transaction patterns.
- Strong written documentation and communication skills.
- Ability to handle sensitive information professionally.

- Digital payments
- Card transactions
- Digital wallets
- Account takeover
- Identity fraud
- Transaction monitoring

- Customer behavior analytics
- Machine-learning-based fraud detection
