Job Responsibilities

• Review and recalibrate FAM 2.0 model methodologies and thresholds for prioritised backlog items, including back-testing, impact assessment, analytical specifications, validation approaches, gap analyses and documentation
• Translate business, policy and scheme requirements into changes to fraud-risk scenarios, indicators, features, thresholds and analytical logic
• Build and enhance monitoring for model performance (precision, recall), data drift and concept drift, including alert logic, visualisations and deployment support
• Design performance measures that account for delayed and incomplete investigation outcomes
• Assess new schemes’ structures, eligibility rules, claims processes and known fraud risks, map relevant patterns against the existing FAM 2.0 risk taxonomy, and recommend how each scheme can be brought into coverage
• Maintain clear methodology and change records
• Communicate findings, trade-offs, dependencies and recommended actions to programme owners, FAM stakeholders, engineers and management
• Produce reproducible code, analyses and documentation throughout the engagement

• Experience building dashboards in Tableau or an equivalent platform will be an advantage
• Experience with CI/CD, MLOps controls or operational deployment of analytical models will be an advantage
• Experience with Spark/PySpark and enterprise data platforms, particularly AWS Redshift and AWS Glue, will be an advantage
