- Collaborate with teams across product, risk, and operations to improve authorization outcomes and fraud prevention processes.
- Use fraud platforms and decisioning tools to manage rule execution, monitor alerts, and enhance detection capabilities.
- Apply knowledge of card authorization workflows, decline responses, and interchange-related factors to strengthen decision quality.
- Support a dynamic operating environment by adapting quickly to evolving fraud trends, priorities, and business needs.
