Cover Genius is strengthening its fraud prevention to support continued global growth. As the Global Fraud Lead, you will design and scale a fraud detection and investigation system that protects our loss ratio through automation. Your goal is to transition the company from manual investigations to a technical, automated model. You will improve our current technology to ensure it can handle rapid scaling across all business verticals.

You will be responsible for the logic behind our fraud detection: defining how we identify fraud patterns and managing the confidence scores that drive automated decisions.

• Architect the Fraud Taxonomy :
  Treat the fraud engine as a core product. You will define the key fraud indicators as a “Source of Truth” for fraud patterns across EMEA, AMER, and APAC, translating insurance-specific risks (e.g., Claims Ballooning, Ghost Broking) into technical triggers for the Product team.

• Optimize the Machine Learning Feedback Loop :
  Crucially, you will manage the product feedback loop: your team will receive notifications from the Product team to review and investigate cases identified by our fraud tools, drive outcomes on an individual case level and provide the expert confirmation needed to train and optimize our tooling over time.

• Govern “Human-in-the-Loop” Confidence Scores :
  Support building the logic that governs automated adjudication. You will define the confidence score thresholds that determine when a claim is processed in a fully automated way vs. when it is escalated for human review. You will partner with Product teams to deploy real-time anomaly detection at the intake stage to stop leakage before a claim is even registered.

• Execute Rigorous Fraud Auditing :
  Establish a high-frequency audit cadence. This includes conducting weekly post-payment audits to identify missed fraud patterns and performing mandatory pre-payment audits for all large loss claims. You will use these findings to close technical gaps and update the fraud engine’s logic.

• Lead the Hybrid Labor & SIU Strategy :
  Design and manage a high-leverage labor model. You will oversee scalable BPO partners to clear low-complexity, high-volume anomaly flags, while personally leading an elite, data-literate internal Fraud Operations Team. This team will focus on dismantling fraud across all verticals.

• Global Compliance :
  Ensure every data-driven fraud denial and automated decision is 100% compliant with regulatory standards (e.g., FCA, ASIC, and NAIC). You oversee investigations into organised fraud and will partner with Legal & Compliance teams to ensure our fraud engine meets all specific insurance regulations, protecting the company from legal risk and reputational damage.

• Build fraud reporting systems You will analyze global fraud trends to create clear, actionable risk reports. Your job is to set the standards for how we brief the Board, executive leadership, and insurance partners. You’ll be the lead voice on whether our current tools are actually stopping fraud and where we need to improve our defenses.
