• Initiate funding holds/releases within authority levels and investigate any potential losses as appropriate.
• Lead and resolve fraud investigations: fraud risk management, regulatory investigations, monitoring, preventing and mitigating economic and compliance risk from business customers and related investigative work.
• Analyse performance of risk alert and losses to statistically recommend the appropriate alerts and parameters for the Risk Monitoring System.
• Be responsible for setting merchant risk parameters according to merchants’ historical volume, activity and credit risk exposure.
• Identify gaps in processes, opportunities for improvement and assist in the development, training, and implementation.

• Strong organizational, analytical and communication skills as well as great problem solving and time management abilities.
• Self-motivated, diligent, resourceful, and can learn internal systems quickly.
• A creative/innovative approach to solving complex problems of both a strategic and technical nature.
