job description
We are seeking a Fraud Threat Intelligence Analyst to join our growing team and support the end-to-end intelligence lifecycle – from collection and enrichment through analysis, insight generation, and client-facing reporting. In this role, you will be engaged in collection and analysis of fraud activity and adversary tactics, investigation of emerging fraud threats and trends, and transformation of raw intelligence into actionable insights that inform client decision-making and fraud prevention strategies.
Fraud risk continues to evolve, and this role plays a critical part in enabling financial institutions to transform fraud prevention functions from reactive to proactive. The Threat Intelligence Analyst will gain broad exposure to real-world fraud schemes while building strong investigative and operational skills within a fast-paced organization. We are specifically looking for a candidate who has “been there before”—someone who understands the mechanics of how money moves in and through financial institutions, and how fraudsters try to intercept it.
roles and responsibilities
- Monitor and analyze underground communities (e.g., DarkWeb marketplaces, forums, Telegram, and more) related to financial crimes, fraud and other illicit activities.
- Collect and synthesize intelligence on new and emerging fraud techniques, tools, services, leveraging both open-source and internal collection systems.
- Produce high-quality intelligence reports, briefings, and presentations tailored for clients.
- Track and assess fraud-related TTPs to support trend analysis, customer needs, and business objectives.
- Engage regularly with clients to deliver intelligence findings, provide context, and offer actionable recommendations.
required qualifications
- 1–5 years of experience monitoring/researching underground fraud communities such as Telegram, markets, DarkWeb forums and other illicit platforms.
- Knowledgeable in underground financial crimes and fraud ecosystems (e.g., payment card fraud, check fraud and more).
- You have a solid grasp of the current fraud landscape. You know the difference between “On-Us” and “Transit” checks, you understand how an Account Takeover (ATO) happens, and you can spot the red flags of a Mule Account.
- You understand the mechanics of Check Fraud, Debit/Credit Card Abuse, and First-Party vs. Third-Party Fraud.
- You have a “forensic mindset” and enjoy digging into the data to find the truth.
- Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills, with the ability to work independently and meet individual objectives.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Proactive and resourceful problem-solver with a strong investigative mindset.
- High interest in combating cybercrime and fraud.
- Positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn.
- Proficiency in Russian, Spanish, Portuguese or Mandarin is a plus but not mandatory.
- Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience.
Compensation: We offer a competitive compensation package and comprehensive benefits package. Salary will be determined based on experience, skills and geographic location.
