This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact analytics role within a fast-moving financial services environment that sits at the intersection of retail, data and risk. You will play a key role in shaping how fraud and financial crime risks are identified, understood and mitigated across the full customer lifecycle, with clear visibility and influence across the business.

The Company They are a large, consumer-focused organisation undergoing significant transformation, using data and digital innovation to improve customer experiences and decision-making. Operating in a regulated environment, they place strong emphasis on ownership, pace and relevance, encouraging teams to challenge existing ways of working. The culture is collaborative, commercially minded and focused on continuous improvement. The Role You will use data and insight to support effective fraud and financial crime risk management, turning complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations. Key responsibilities include:

• Identifying trends, patterns, anomalies and emerging risks across the customer lifecycle.
• Translating analysis into clear commentary that explains what is happening, why it matters and what actions are recommended.
• Producing high-quality MI, KPIs and KRIs with robust narrative for senior stakeholders and governance forums.
• Presenting findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Working closely with fraud operations, risk, compliance, data and customer journey teams to ensure insight leads to action.
• Maintaining clear documentation to support audits, governance and regulatory review.
• Taking ownership of defined analytical areas and proactively improving controls and reporting quality.

Your Skills and Experience To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• Strong commercial experience extracting and analysing data using SQL.
• A proven ability to identify meaningful trends and insights from large datasets.
• Experience within fraud, financial crime, risk, analytics or another regulated environment.
• The ability to convert analysis into clear written insight and practical recommendations.
• Confident communication skills, with experience engaging senior and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Experience with Excel, Power BI or similar visualisation tools is beneficial.
• Knowledge of fraud and financial crime typologies and governance-focused MI is advantageous.

What They Offer You can expect a competitive salary, a strong benefits package and the opportunity to develop your career within a growing analytics and risk function. The role offers genuine scope to influence decision-making, build your profile with senior stakeholders and deepen your expertise in fraud and financial crime analytics.
