Job Description

The Fraud Tradeoff Analyst provides enterprise‑level analytical insight into the tradeoffs between fraud risk reduction, customer experience, operational efficiency, and financial outcomes across deposits, digital, payments, authentication, and the end‑to‑end account lifecycle.

This role applies advanced analytics to identify material loss drivers, customer friction points, operational inefficiencies, and emerging fraud risks—ensuring fraud decisions are grounded in measurable business impact rather than isolated metrics. By developing and applying a consistent fraud tradeoff and loss‑avoidance framework, the analyst enables leadership to prioritize initiatives, allocate investment, and optimize controls holistically.

The Fraud Tradeoff Analyst partners closely with Fraud Strategy, Risk, Operations, Digital, Technology, and AI/ML teams to translate complex analysis into clear, decision‑ready insights that support enterprise‑wide fraud outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze enterprise fraud performance across deposits, digital, payments, authentication, and account lifecycle domains to identify material loss drivers, customer friction, operational impacts, and emerging risks.
• Develop and apply a fraud tradeoff framework to evaluate initiatives across fraud loss reduction, customer experience, operational efficiency, and financial impact, enabling clear, data‑driven prioritization decisions.
• Engineer and maintain fraud loss‑avoidance methodologies, ensuring consistent, audit‑ready measurement of net benefit, including losses avoided, review costs, false‑positive friction, and revenue impacts.
• Perform advanced and ad‑hoc analytics to assess control effectiveness, conduct root‑cause analysis on fraud events, and identify optimization or decommissioning opportunities.
• Support strategic sizing and business cases by quantifying expected benefits, costs, risks, and tradeoffs for fraud initiatives, tools, and enhancements.
• Partner with Fraud Strategy, Risk, Operations, Digital, and Technology teams to align priorities, evaluate tradeoffs, and drive measurable outcomes from analytics‑informed initiatives.
• Collaborate with modeling and AI/ML teams to support predictive fraud capabilities through analytical input, performance assessment, and value tracking.
• Translate complex analytics into clear, executive‑ready insights and narratives, ensuring findings inform action, investment decisions, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure analytical rigor and data quality, validating assumptions, strengthening methodologies, and promoting transparent, decision‑ready metrics used confidently by stakeholders and governance forums.
• Assess operational impacts of fraud controls, including alert volumes, review capacity, false‑positive burden, and workflow efficiency, identifying opportunities to reduce friction while maintaining effective risk mitigation.
  
  
  

Additional Expectations

• Leverage approved AI‑enabled productivity tools to improve efficiency, quality, and effectiveness of work outputs, applying sound judgment to validate results and ensure responsible, compliant use in accordance with company policies.

• Perform additional duties and assume evolving responsibilities as needed to support changing business priorities, organizational needs, and strategic objectives.
• Maintain a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, internal controls, and risk management standards by adhering to applicable laws, policies, and procedures.
