• Support end-to-end analytics projects, from problem definition and hypothesis testing through to implementation and monitoring.

• Partner closely with Payment Integrity, Strategy and Analytics stakeholders to understand business challenges and deliver actionable insights.

• Evaluate new tools, techniques and data sources to continuously improve detection capabilities.
