This newly created leadership role will establish a centralized fraud strategy, aligning business, technology, fraud operations, and executive leadership around a common vision to reduce fraud losses while delivering an exceptional customer experience. The ideal candidate is a strategic fraud leader with deep expertise across multiple fraud vectors-not someone solely focused on fraud operations or a single fraud domain. This individual will bring executive presence, strong cross-functional leadership skills, and a proven history of driving measurable improvements in fraud prevention, detection, and mitigation. Key Responsibilities: Enterprise Fraud Strategy: Develop and execute an enterprise fraud strategy spanning all fraud vectors, including:

• Account opening fraud
• Account takeover
• Money movement and payment fraud
• Emerging fraud threats
• Create and maintain a comprehensive fraud roadmap covering prevention, detection, investigation, response, recovery, and continuous optimization
• Align fraud initiatives with business objectives, regulatory requirements, customer experience, and organizational risk tolerance
  
  

Cross-Functional Leadership:

• Partner closely with Fraud Operations, Fraud Engineering, Product Management, Technology, Risk, Compliance, and Executive Leadership to drive enterprise-wide fraud initiatives
• Provide strategic direction across multiple fraud domains and help establish consistent governance and accountability
• Influence senior leadership and communicate fraud strategy, priorities, risks, and performance to executive stakeholders
  
  

Requirements

• 10 years of progressive experience in fraud strategy, fraud risk management, payments risk, or enterprise fraud leadership within banking or financial services
• Deep expertise across multiple fraud vectors, including account opening fraud, account takeover, and payment or money movement fraud
• Demonstrated success developing and executing enterprise fraud strategies that deliver measurable business results
• Experience influencing executive leadership and partnering across multiple business and technology organizations
• Strong understanding of fraud technologies, analytics platforms, AI, and emerging fraud prevention capabilities
• Proven ability to use data and analytics to identify trends, measure performance, and drive strategic decisions
• Excellent executive communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Banking experience is strongly preferred due to the complexity of regulatory oversight and risk management within financial institutions
• Experience within fintech organizations will also be considered, provided candidates possess broad enterprise fraud strategy experience
• Familiarity with banking regulations, risk management frameworks, and fraud governance
• Experience leading enterprise transformation initiatives or standing up new strategic programs
  
  

Ideal Candidate Profile: This role is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished fraud leader who has demonstrated enterprise impact and is ready to take ownership of organization-wide fraud strategy. We are seeking someone who combines strategic vision with execution, can influence at the executive level, and is passionate about staying ahead of an ever-evolving fraud landscape. The ideal candidate is known for:

• Enterprise thinking and strategic leadership
• Cross-functional collaboration and influence
• Strong executive presence
• Results-driven execution
