Your Mission: Serving as the definitive analytical shield of the TIU, you will assess the scale, scope, and severity of the threats targeting our platform. You will translate raw indicators into robust, first-line defense capabilities by developing preventative controls and detective rules. Utilizing structured kill-chain modeling, you will map fraud vectors end-to-end to isolate mitigation opportunities, collaborating cross-functionally across Wise to proactively neutralize risks.

Key Responsibilities

• Kill-Chain Modeling: Map out complex financial crime and fraud vectors using structured kill-chain frameworks, identifying strategic intervention and mitigation points across every stage of the attack lifecycle.

• Cross-Functional Strategy Execution: Partner with diverse business units across Wise to design and execute comprehensive response strategies for high-impact threats, transitioning seamlessly from immediate tactical fixes to long-term strategic changes.

• Framework & Investigative Support: Provide data-driven insights to steer the future direction of the ICF and support the TIUs investigative function in identifying and tracking malicious actor activity.

Qualifications & Experience

• Analytical Expertise: Significant experience in fraud and/or financial crime analysis, possessing a deep technical understanding of diverse attack typologies and their operational impact across various customer segments.

• Strategic Control Deployment: Substantial experience developing counter-fraud strategies, specifically through the creation, testing, and deployment of rules, models, and features, alongside a proven ability to influence key stakeholders.

• Strategic Mindset: A sophisticated, counter-adversarial approach to risk detection and threat modeling.

• Technical Data Proficiency: Proficiency in extracting, manipulating, and analyzing large-scale datasets using SQL, Python, or similar data science methodologies to produce structured, analytical outputs.

• Communication & Translation: Demonstrated capability to map end-to-end attacks and articulate complex threat technicalities to diverse audiencesranging from engineering and analytical teams to product owners, policy writers, and executive leadership.

• Desirable Credentials: Prior experience with external networks (industry trust groups, public-private partnerships, or law enforcement), cyber kill-chain mapping, or certifications such as SANS training, ACAMS, ACFE, or ICA are highly advantageous.
