About this role

The Fraud Analytics & Commercialization team drives Experian's fraud analytics business through four integrated functions — pre-sales engagement, scalable and custom solutions, consulting, and operational enablement — with the goal of becoming the industry's provider-of-choice. The Director of Fraud Analytics Consulting will work directly with major financial institutions to co-build custom fraud detection models and help clients understand emerging fraud trends. The role calls for a seasoned data scientist with an impact-focused mindset and strong collaborative, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills — and welcomes candidates from unconventional backgrounds who demonstrate curiosity and self-direction. In addition to client-facing analytical work, the Director will mentor and develop the team, partner with product teams to scale analytics capabilities, and foster a culture of thoroughness, empathy, and shared success.

This is a remote position. You will report to the SVP of Fraud Analytics.

Partner with major financial institutions and emerging market clients to help them realize the full potential of Experian's proprietary fraud data and analytics solutions

Co-develop custom fraud detection models with client teams, guiding them through the data, the analytics environment, and Experian's proprietary fraud detection methodologies

Conduct investigative analytics to help clients identify new fraud trends, emerging risk patterns, and evolving threats across their portfolios

Design and implement scalable proof-of-value processes, including standardized templates and automation, to support expansion into new markets and client segments

Build self-serve tools and onboarding resources that accelerate time-to-value for down-market clients and support their path to self-sufficiency

Partner with product teams to shape the analytics consulting strategy for market expansion

Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of data scientists, creating an environment where curiosity, collaboration, and continuous growth are the norm

Serve as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert to clients, translating complex analytical concepts into clear, actionable insights

7+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or a related quantitative field

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Econometrics, or a related quantitative discipline – or an equivalent combination of education and experience that demonstrates strong quantitative reasoning and analytical ability

Deep expertise in analytics and machine learning, with hands-on experience across the full modeling lifecycle; experience in fraud and/or credit analytics preferred

Strong investigative analytics mindset — skilled at identifying patterns, forming hypotheses, and drawing meaningful conclusions from complex, large-scale datasets

Demonstrated ability to lead, mentor, and develop data scientists

Experience working with clients or business partners in a consulting, advisory, or client-facing analytics role

Able to translate an ambiguous client need into a well-defined hypothesis with an analytical plan to address it

Experience designing scalable analytical processes, tools, or frameworks — ideally in a context where repeatability and efficiency were business priorities

Strong Python skills for data analysis and machine learning, including PySpark, Polars, NumPy, and Pandas; familiarity with large-scale data processing frameworks and cloud platforms, especially Spark and AWS

Willingness to travel periodically for on-site client workshops and engagements
