  • Review card authorization activity and make fraud-related transaction decisions.
  • Develop and optimize fraud rules based on transaction velocity, spending patterns, and merchant risk.
  • Analyze transaction data to identify emerging fraud trends and improve detection strategies.
  • Balance fraud prevention with customer experience by minimizing false declines.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to improve authorization outcomes and fraud response effectiveness.
  • Implement and manage fraud controls using issuer fraud and decisioning platforms.

• Proven ability to create, tune, and improve fraud rules in a live transaction environment.
• Strong analytical capability with the judgment to turn transaction data into effective fraud prevention actions.
• Solid understanding of payment network authorization flows, decline code behavior, and interchange fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with fraud platforms or rule engines such as Falcon, Forter, Sardine, Sift, or comparable solutions.
• Prior background within an issuing bank, sponsor organization, or card program management environment.
• Experience focused only on merchant acquiring or payment processing is not sufficient for this role.
• Ability to succeed in a startup environment with a high level of ownership and flexibility.
