Fraud Analysis Manager

Role Summary 
As the Fraud Manager, you will lead H‑E‑B's Fraud team, owning the day-to-day investigation, detection, and resolution of suspected fraudulent transactions across the business. In this role, you’ll manage a team of fraud analysts working account takeovers, payment fraud, and refund abuse, while identifying the trends and patterns that connect individual cases to broader fraud activity. You'll be responsible for making sure investigations are timely, accurate, and consistent, and for building the workflows, tools, and documentation that let the team scale. You will also be responsible for working with the Digital Trust team to implement tooling and rules with external vendors, as well as ensure we have programs to deal with different fraud vectors. You will also partner with the in-store Loss Prevention team to ensure we have a strong omnichannel fraud program.

Success in this role requires equal parts people leadership and analytical rigor: you're as comfortable coaching an analyst through a tricky case as you are spotting an emerging fraud pattern in the data or briefing senior leadership on what it means for the business.
