About the role
About the engagement
Capitex is a specialist Financial Crime Compliance talent provider. We are hiring a Fraud Data Analyst for a 6-month contract supporting the 24/7 fraud operation of a leading international banking client.
The shape of the engagement: the first phase is delivered fully remote from the UK. From Month 3, the engagement moves onsite with the client overseas, with relocation fully supported - flight, visa sponsorship and a housing allowance on top of your fee. Location specifics are shared at screening stage. Onsite participation from Month 3 is a firm requirement of the role, not a preference - please only apply if a supported working stint abroad genuinely works for you.
The role
You will be the analytical engine of the fraud operations team - working alongside L1 and L2 fraud analysts and a senior fraud investigator, and acting as the bridge between what the operation sees and what the detection estate does.
- Analyse fraud alert and case data to identify trends, emerging typologies, detection gaps and false-positive drivers - Support rule and threshold tuning on the client's fraud monitoring platform - build the evidence base, model the impact, document proposed changes - Design and produce operational MI: alert volumes, disposition outcomes, SLA performance, fraud losses and prevented losses - Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting for fraud leadership - Support post-incident and thematic reviews with data deep-dives - Contribute to knowledge transfer and coaching of the client's analyst team
