About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join our Fraud Analytics team as a Senior Consultant Risk & Controls Partner, where you’ll play a pivotal role as a first-line fraud expert. Working at the heart of Fraud Management, you’ll lead in-depth root cause analysis of fraud cases, identify emerging trends, and collaborate with subject matter experts to continuously strengthen our understanding of fraud risks and controls.
You’ll represent Fraud Analytics across key projects, assessing the impact of change initiatives and ensuring fraud risks are clearly identified, understood, and effectively managed. Partnering closely with stakeholders across Fraud and the wider Protect function, you’ll help shape and enhance our fraud prevention strategies, bringing a strong focus on safeguarding customers and the business during a critical integration programme.
Key Responsibilities

- Subject Matter Expertise: Act as a subject matter expert, ensuring all requirements and controls align with key regulatory expectations across Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) guidance, sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and fraud frameworks.
- Risk and Control Evaluation: Evaluate the current risk and control environment end-to-end, identifying any gaps, vulnerabilities, and areas requiring remediation.
- Control Implementation: Support the uplift, redesign, and implementation of robust economic crime controls across systems, processes, and operational frameworks.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Governance, Compliance, Technology, Operations, and Programme delivery, to embed stronger, more resilient controls throughout the integration.
- Documentation: Produce clear, well-structured risk assessments and governance documentation for senior stakeholders, ensuring all decisions are transparent, traceable, and supported by comprehensive control design across detection, prevention, and monitoring.
