Vice President Fraud Performance
Join a global fraud prevention and authentication technology business supporting banks, payment providers, and financial institutions in a newly created VP leadership role bringing together Data Science, Fraud Analytics, and Fraud Advisory Services.
This is not a traditional Data Science leadership position. The opportunity is to build an integrated Fraud Performance function that combines deep fraud and payments expertise, advanced analytics, and executive-level customer advisory to deliver measurable improvements in customer fraud performance and outcomes.
The business is investing in this capability as the fraud market increasingly shifts from competing on technology features alone towards measurable performance, AI-driven intelligence, and strategic advisory.
About the role
Reporting directly to the CTO, the VP, Fraud Performance will lead a global multidisciplinary organisation spanning Data Science, Fraud Analytics, and Fraud Advisory Services.
You will be responsible for defining how these teams operate together, establishing shared accountability for customer fraud performance, and ensuring technical and analytical capabilities translate into meaningful customer and commercial outcomes.
The role sits at the intersection of technology, customer strategy, consulting, and product direction. You will work directly with senior leaders at banks, payment providers, and financial institutions, while partnering internally across Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and executive leadership.
This is a transformation role. You will inherit established expertise, but have the opportunity to assess the existing organisation, evolve its operating model, and shape how Fraud Performance develops as a strategic capability.
Key responsibilities
- Define and lead the global Fraud Performance strategy, bringing together Data Science, Fraud Analytics, and Fraud Advisory Services around shared customer outcomes.
- Lead and develop a global multidisciplinary organisation, creating greater alignment, accountability, and pace across specialist teams.
- Act as a senior fraud advisor to strategic customers, leading executive-level discussions and translating complex fraud challenges into clear actions and measurable outcomes.
- Drive the development and commercialisation of Fraud Performance and Advisory capabilities, demonstrating customer value and supporting strategic sales, expansion, and renewals.
- Ensure emerging fraud trends and customer insight influence Data Science priorities, product strategy, and future investment.
- Build a high-performing operating model that combines technical rigour, deep fraud expertise, customer focus, and commercial awareness.
