Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Industry Focus: Fintech • Fraud Prevention • Transaction Security • AI • Payments • Digital Banking

ANTICIPATE THE THREAT BEFORE THE TRANSACTION BECOMES A LOSS

Digital finance moves at extraordinary speed.

Millions of transactions can occur across interconnected platforms, creating enormous opportunity—but also sophisticated attack surfaces.

We are seeking a highly accomplished Intelligence leader to develop advanced capabilities for detecting, analysing, preventing, and responding to financial fraud.

This role combines transaction analytics, behavioural intelligence, machine learning, risk strategy, and operational security.

THE INTELLIGENCE MANDATE

You will develop capabilities across:

• Transaction monitoring

• Fraud detection

• Behavioural analytics

• Anomaly detection

• Account-takeover intelligence

• Payment fraud

• Identity intelligence

• Machine learning

• Real-time risk scoring

• Fraud investigations

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Fraud Strategy

Develop a comprehensive strategy for identifying and reducing financial fraud across digital channels.

Transaction Intelligence

Analyse transaction behaviour to identify anomalous patterns, emerging attack methods, and suspicious activity.

Detection Models

Work with data scientists and engineers to develop and improve analytical and machine-learning detection models.

Real-Time Decisioning

Support risk systems capable of evaluating transactions rapidly and escalating suspicious events.

Threat Intelligence

Monitor emerging fraud patterns and translate intelligence into operational countermeasures.

Investigations

Support structured investigations into significant fraud events and identify root causes.

Performance

Monitor fraud-loss rates, false positives, detection rates, investigation times, and customer impact.

THE INTELLIGENCE STANDARD

The goal is not to block everything unusual.

It is to distinguish between:

A legitimate customer behaving differently

and

A malicious actor attempting to appear legitimate.

That requires sophisticated data, context, behavioural analysis, and continuously evolving models.

IDEAL PROFILE

• 8+ years in fraud, fintech, payments, banking, risk analytics, cybersecurity, or financial intelligence

• Strong understanding of transaction behaviour

• Experience with fraud-detection systems

• Strong analytical and investigative capabilities

• Knowledge of machine learning and anomaly detection

• Excellent understanding of digital payment ecosystems

• Strong leadership and communication skills

Compensation: Competitive principal-level package aligned with expertise and leadership scope.

Work Model: Remote-first with GCC collaboration.

Application Focus: Demonstrate fraud-reduction programmes, transaction-monitoring systems, fraud models, investigations, or security initiatives where you achieved measurable results.
