Responsibilities
• Predictive & Preventative Strategy (Real-Time Rules) • Real-Time Rule Authoring: Design, test, and deploy real-time logic within the risk rules engine (e.g., velocity checks, device fingerprinting triggers, IP risk thresholds, and behavioral anomalies, etc.) to intercept fraudulent actions during the entire customer lifecycle. • Real-Time Rule Authoring: • Risk Model Integration: Partner with internal and external platform partners to integrate, build and implement both customer and transaction level fraud scores into the rules engine, creating conditional logic that automatically approves, blocks, or challenges high-risk events. • Risk Model Integration: • Friction Optimization: Monitor and optimize false positive rates to ensure legitimate customer transactions pass through with minimal friction. • Friction Optimization: • Detective & Post-Transaction Strategy (Monitoring & Analysis) • Behavioral & Batch Monitoring: Build detective monitoring rules, threshold alerts, and transaction reports to identify complex fraud patterns, first party fraud triggers, account takeover, synthetic ID, or coordinated fraud rings after events occur. • Behavioral & Batch Monitoring: • Chargeback & Loss Root-Cause Analysis: Conduct post-mortems on confirmed fraud instances and Reg E disputes to identify gaps in existing rule sets and rapidly deploy backtest-verified countermeasures. • Chargeback & Loss Root-Cause Analysis: • Rule Performance Tuning: Regularly review, backtest, and refine active rules to eliminate stale logic, reduce redundancy, and adapt to shifting fraud tactics. Utilize the iterations of rules to also actively monitor the existing customer book. • Rule Performance Tuning: • Rules and telemetry expansion: Active work internally and externally to seek additional risk signals, and proactively deploy to stay ahead of emerging fraud patterns. • Rules and telemetry expansion: • Fraud Strategy & Operations • Responsible for partnering with the Head of Fraud to own and execute Raisin’s U.S. fraud strategy across onboarding, account linking, and payment flows. • Design and refine fraud policies, rules, controls, and escalation processes. • Lead fraud investigations end-to-end and translate findings into durable controls. • Build fraud KPIs, dashboards, and performance reporting for leadership. • Quantify fraud exposure, loss trends, and efficiency metrics to inform strategic decisions. • Fraud Modeling & Advanced Analytics • Own the roadmap for fraud models across the customer lifecycle. • Build and maintain customer risk profiling and scoring frameworks and enhance monitoring of high-risk customers. • Design, implement, and deploy machine learning models for anomaly detection, identity risk, behavioral analytics, and transaction monitoring. • Build features from device, behavioral, graph, identity, ACH/payment telemetry, and network data. • Partner with Engineering and Data to ensure high-quality data pipelines for real-time model scoring. • Translate model outputs into practical decision strategies (rules, thresholds, step-up flows).
