• Communicate clearly and professionally through outbound and inbound email interactions when required.
• Escalate complex, high-risk, or ambiguous cases to senior specialists or stakeholders as appropriate.
• Maintain detailed and accurate documentation of investigations and decisions.
• Adapt to process changes, new tools, and evolving fraud patterns in a fast-paced environment.
• Flex across different Risk & Compliance lines of business when required, supporting team coverage and operational needs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying trends, gaps, or opportunities to enhance fraud prevention processes.

The Experience You'll Bring:

Basic Qualifications:

• Strong written communication skills, particularly in email-based environments.
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to make consistent, policy-driven decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple cases while meeting productivity and quality expectations.
• Comfortable working with data, dashboards, and internal tools to support investigations.
• Willingness and flexibility to be reassigned across different Risk & Compliance LOBs within the same job level.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team.
• Proven ability to adapt quickly to change and ambiguity

Preferred Qualifications
