While it’s an innovation, ours is a business built on the next development, the evolution to come. For forward-thinking, technical professionals, that means making a wide-ranging and long-lasting impact in an organisation that’s changing the face of banking for our customers.
We're on a mission to make our customers happier and more successful by putting them in control of their finances.

The team primarily uses Hunter and ThreatMetrix to manage and maintain fraud loss performance with SAS & SQL being used as the main data query tools for the analytics. The successful applicant will also need to have strong communication skills to provide insight on fraud activity, proposals to mitigate and work closely with colleagues in other teams such as fraud operations. Project work will be expected, on an ad hic basis as required
Other responsibilities include:
- Delivery and analysis of both proactive and reactive strategies to mitigate fraud loss and develop action plans to tackle specific fraud types.
- Work closely with the analysts within the department to mitigate fraud trends, and to help deliver projects
- Building relationships with other teams such as Fraud Operations and Credit Risk to identify and resolve fraud challenges and work together to support delivery of changes where required.
What you’ll bring
- Highly analytical, educated to degree level in a numerate subject or equivalent work experience demonstrating this.
- Experience of analytical software/tools, such as SQL, SAS, VBA, Python or similar
- Ability to analyse and interrogate large data sets to help recommend, develop and deliver new strategies to combat emerging fraud trends and improve the performance of existing strategies.
- Ability to prioritise a plan of multiple actions to maintain and improve the fraud position.
