• Connect accounts, identities, devices, sessions, IP addresses, domains, phone numbers, email addresses, payment entities, and other attributes to identify coordinated activity.
• Translate investigative findings into detection logic, watchlists, dashboards, playbooks, control recommendations, and operational actions.
• Establish repeatable hunt methodologies, evidence standards, documentation requirements, intake processes, and operational handoffs.
• Partner with Fraud Strategy, Financial Crimes, Cyber Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, Identity and Access Management, Product, Digital Banking, Data Analytics, and other stakeholders.
• Communicate emerging threats, investigative findings, control gaps, and business impact to senior leaders.
• Measure team performance through financial-crime discovery, hunt execution, detection conversion, prevention, disruption, and operational quality.
