Fraud Data Analyst; Banking

Fraud Data Analyst (Banking) – 6-Month Contract at Capitex – Kuwait City, KU, KW

This Visa sponsorship job abroad position offers great opportunities for career growth.

Capitex is a specialist Financial Crime Compliance talent provider. We are hiring a Fraud Data Analyst for a 6-month contract supporting the 24/7 fraud operation of a leading international banking client. The shape of the engagement: the first phase is delivered fully remote from the UK. From Month 3, the engagement moves onsite with the client overseas, with relocation fully supported - flight, visa sponsorship and a housing allowance on top of your fee.

Location specifics are shared at screening stage. Onsite participation from Month 3 is a firm requirement of the role, not a preference -

• Analyse fraud alert and case data to identify trends, emerging typologies, detection gaps and false-positive drivers
• Support rule and threshold tuning on the client's fraud monitoring platform - build the evidence base, model the impact, document proposed changes
• Design and produce operational MI: alert volumes, disposition outcomes, SLA performance, fraud losses and prevented losses
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting for fraud leadership
• Support post-incident and thematic reviews with data deep-dives
• Contribute to knowledge transfer and coaching of the client's analyst team

• 3+ years in data analytics within fraud, financial crime or banking operations
• Strong SQL - essential and tested at screening
• Python or R - a strong plus
• BI and visualisation tools (Power BI, Tableau or equivalent) - dashboards you have built, not viewed
• Familiarity with fraud detection platforms and alert data structures (FICO Falcon, NICE Actimize, SAS or equivalent environments) - enough to interrogate their output and support tuning
• Clear English and the ability to present analysis to senior stakeholders
• A passport with 12+ months' validity remaining
• Immediate or short-notice availability strongly preferred

• 6-month consultancy agreement with Capitex, with extension possible on client renewal
• Competitive all-inclusive monthly consultancy fee, with housing allowance and flight covered for the onsite phase
• Visa and work authorisation for the onsite phase arranged and sponsored
• Laptop provided
