This position is suitable for a Risk Data Scientist with a strong foundation in data analysis and an even stronger focus on consultative risk advisory, conceptual thinking, and business-oriented problem solving.

This role is ideal for someone who thinks beyond the code — someone who can turn data patterns into meaningful narratives, communicate risk exposure to executives, and co-design solutions that align with both operational priorities and enterprise risk frameworks.

To be successful for this role, your CV will need to reflect on following skill-set:

• Background in data science, risk analytics, or strategy consulting with a focus on fraud, financial crime, or operational risk.
• Strong conceptual understanding of fraud typologies, internal controls, and risk frameworks;
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and communicate complex ideas simply.
• Experience in a banking, financial services, insurance, fintech, or consulting environment.
• Proficiency in tools like Python, R, Excel, SQL, Power BI or Tableau is welcomed – but strategic thinking and communication will set you apart.
• Hands-on Statistical and mathematical modelling background, i.e. decision trees, random forest
• A passion for uncovering risk blind spots and helping businesses build safer, smarter systems

Preferred but Not Essential Experience:

• Experience with Power BI Dashboards and Reports
• Experience with Machine Learning / Deep Learning / NLP

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with business units to understand fraud and operational risk challenges from a business and customer lens.
• Interpret and translate analytical findings into actionable insights that inform policies, controls, and risk management frameworks.
• Support fraud detection and prevention initiatives with conceptual models, root cause analysis, and strategic recommendations.
• Collaborate with compliance, internal audit, operations, and technology teams to embed risk intelligence across the organisation.
• Develop executive-level dashboards and presentations that clearly articulate risk patterns and business impact.
• Contribute to enterprise-level risk assessments and help design frameworks for identifying, measuring, and managing risk.
