Fraud Data Analyst – Remote then Onsite in Kuwait

About the role

You will be the analytical engine of the fraud operations team: turning alert, transaction and case data into detection improvements, management information and tuning decisions. You will work under the bank's direction, alongside Capitex L1 and L2 analysts and a senior fraud investigator, and be the bridge between what the operation sees and what the detection estate does.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse fraud alert and case data to identify trends, emerging typologies, detection gaps and false‑positive drivers.
• Support rule and threshold tuning on the bank's fraud monitoring platform – build the evidence base, model the impact, and document proposed changes for the bank's approval.
• Design and produce operational MI: alert volumes, disposition outcomes, SLA performance, fraud losses and prevented losses, shift‑level throughput.
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting for the fraud operations leadership team.
• Support post‑incident and thematic reviews with data deep‑dives.
• Work with L2 and the senior investigator to convert case observations into measurable detection improvements.

Required profile

• 3+ years in data analytics within fraud, financial crime or banking operations.
• Strong SQL is essential; Python or R for analysis is a strong plus.
• Experience with BI/visualisation tools (Power BI, Tableau or equivalent) and building operational dashboards.
• Familiarity with fraud detection platforms and alert data structures (FICO Falcon, Actimize, SAS or equivalent) – enough to interrogate their output and support tuning.
• Ability to present analysis clearly to operational and senior stakeholders in English.
• Confirmed availability for an August 2026 start and genuine willingness to be onsite in Kuwait City from Month 3 to Month 6.
