Summary

Fraud Prevention Manager
Motorway
London
07.2023 - 06.2024
- Here I took charge of a very new fraud unit in its infancy. I shaped it and grew it into an effective and professional team that was led by evidence.
- I completed and owned the fraud risk register and routinely reviewed it with the company head of risk to ensure fraud risks were managed and mitigated. I championed the creation of policy, processes, and strategy for the department, feeding into the C-Suite for approval and funding. Additionally, the work undertaken by the team as a result was consistent, reliable, and to a high standard.
- I pushed for the introduction of fraud mitigation technology, meeting with numerous solution providers, creating bespoke plans tailored toward the company and its unique challenges, and forming a network of contacts in the industry.
- Finally, I completed various processes and policies to govern how the company responds to fraud and fraud risk, formalising and improving upon the more ad hoc approach taken previously
Trust & Safety Systems & Analytics Lead (Fraud)
Tripadvisor
London
04.2021 - 07.2023
- Initially recruited as a Data Operations Specialist but later promoted, I quickly established myself as an extremely valuable data asset that could support the investigations across the company, take investigative findings and expand them globally to detect large-scale, impactful trends, and provide key information to leaders on KPI/OKR performance.
- I was entrusted with the data capture for the company's transparency reporting a piece of work requiring 200+ individual queries all aligning and matching to produce trustworthy insights that could be passed to editors for publication and eventually given to authorities as required.
- I took ownership of the company's User Generated Content (UGC) fraud rule engine, and through my analytical work, identified the inefficiencies within the systems and worked to remedy them, replacing the issues with a robust QA standard.
- Finally, I was often called upon by the company’s legal team to provide insight from a policing perspective on specific or challenging issues as they arose, helping advise on the appropriate authority to report said issues to and giving my input on what the investigative steps are likely to be.

Various

- Working on both the Tesco Mobile and giffgaff arms of Telefonica, earning promotion between the two as I went, I cultivated a very successful career with the company which pulled from both my private sector and policing experience
- With Tesco Mobile, I was the sole fraud analyst for the business, with access to all data collected and the responsibility of detecting fraud trends, gathering intelligence from stores, sweeping for PEPs and Sanctioned individuals, and monitoring the fraud mitigation software performance.

High Risk & Fraud Insight Analyst

Marlow, Dun & Bradstreet
04.2017 - 04.2018
- Here I was part of a small team of UK-based investigators undertaking open-source investigations into companies registering with the company (or theircustomers) to ensure legitimacy, prevent fraud and detect deception. Part of myrole was the scanning of adverse media that could indicate either deceptive orcriminal practices by the companies D&B have on record, or an early indication offinancial difficulty. While working here, I gained my Certified Fraud Examineraccreditation, which I continue to maintain to this day.
Fraud Team Manager
TSYS Managed Services
Milton Keynes
09.2016 - 08.2017
- This role saw me take direct responsibility for 12 team members out of around a 35-man fraud call centre, supporting credit card fraud.
- The team was very young and inexperienced, so it required careful coaching and mentoring to detect fraud in transactional information and respond to reports of fraud from customers as well as supporting them in the naturally chaotic call centre environment.
- The training consisted of call listening, one-on-one coaching, and leading investigations by example, speaking directly with customers. I was also able to provide guidance on when authorities needed to be involved and when specific reports needed to be made in light of investigation findings.
