Job Description

The Fraud Decisioning Analyst provides advanced analytics to evaluate and enhance fraud decisioning, performance, and queue dynamics across enterprise alert volumes within the Fraud Mitigation Solutions (FMS) organization.

This role applies advanced, data-driven analysis to evaluate how fraud decisioning performs in production-focusing on alert drivers, decision accuracy, and queue efficiency across enterprise volumes. By identifying performance gaps, inefficiencies, and emerging risks within the fraud mitigation lifecycle, the analyst enables more effective, efficient, and risk-aligned decisioning at scale.

The Fraud Decisioning Analyst translates complex execution-level analytics into actionable insights that improve fraud detection outcomes, reduce customer friction, and support sustainable workload management across fraud mitigation teams. This role does not design or implement rules, but instead provides the analytical foundation to inform enhancements to decisioning strategies, alert performance, and workflow execution.

Key Responsibilities
  • Analyze fraud decisioning performance across enterprise alert volumes, evaluating alert drivers, decision outcomes, false positive rates, and queue dynamics to identify performance gaps and inefficiencies.

  • Conduct root-cause analysis on alert behavior and decision outcomes, identifying drivers of unnecessary alerts, missed detection opportunities, and workflow bottlenecks.
  • Develop and maintain performance metrics and reporting frameworks that provide transparent, consistent views of alert effectiveness, benefit, decision accuracy, and operational impact.
  • Identify and quantify optimization opportunities to improve fraud detection outcomes, reduce customer friction, and balance workload across fraud mitigation teams, using data-driven analysis.
  • Translate complex, execution-level analytics into actionable insights and recommendations, enabling stakeholders to improve decisioning outcomes and workflow efficiency.
  • Partner with Fraud Mitigation Solutions (FMS) and Fraud Strategy teams to align on performance insights, validate findings, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Support evaluation of fraud controls and decisioning approaches in production, providing analytical input on performance impacts without directly designing or implementing rules.
  • Monitor emerging trends, anomalies, and shifts in alert behavior to identify new risks, changing fraud patterns, or degradation in performance.
  • Ensure analytical rigor and data integrity, validating assumptions, methodologies, and outputs to support confident, decision-ready insights.


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.
  • Develops and delivers data-driven insights and narratives to inform decision-making and support business objectives.
  • 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.
