  • Maintain expertise in fraud detection systems such as Verafin and Visa Risk Manager, including rule adjustments, system functionality, workflow optimization and staff training.
  • Conduct in-depth analysis of transactional activity, data trends and operational patterns to detect and prevent fraudulent activity before losses occur.
  • Prepare and deliver weekly, monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc fraud reports for AMS Leadership, Senior Management and the Board.
  • Develop, implement and maintain fraud policies, procedures, writing instructions and training documents to ensure consistent and compliant operations.
  • Lead ongoing improvement initiatives to strengthen fraud prevention practices, reduce operational gaps and enhance the member experience.
  • Coordinate with BSA/AML, Compliance, Risk Management, Operations, Card Services, IT and external partners to support investigations and effective risk mitigation.
  • Ensure accurate documentation of fraud cases, investigative steps, evidence and outcomes in accordance with audit and regulatory requirements.
  • Oversee PTO scheduling, training needs and staffing levels to maintain adequate departmental coverage and operational continuity.
  • Evaluate and recommend new fraud tools, system enhancements and technology solutions to increase detection accuracy and reduce losses.
  • Serve as the primary point of escalation for high-risk or complex fraud situations requiring advanced judgment or coordination with law enforcement or external partners.
