Junior Fraud Investigator

📍 Cardiff | 🏢 3 days a week in office, 2 days at home. This will be more in the office initially while you learn the role.

Fraud / Customer Operations 🚀
The Fraud team works to help keep our customers safe. You’ll play a vital role in our first line of defence. This role is about developing your "investigator’s gut" by working through a variety of alerts and learning to spot the difference between a real customer and a fraudster. You will focus on efficiency, accuracy, and mastering our internal systems.

What You’ll Be Doing 🗃️

• Execute daily fraud queues: Investigate high-volume alerts across application and account activity.


• Learn the ropes: Work closely with senior investigators to understand different fraud typologies (e.g., identity theft, APP scams).


• Maintain SLAs: Prioritize your workload to ensure we respond to potential threats within our operational timeframes.


• Customer Support: Communicate clearly with customers to verify activity, providing a supportive experience for potential victims.


• Identify Patterns: Spot recurring issues and flag them to the wider team for further review.


• Growth: Join our on-call rota and use your learning budget to build foundational fraud prevention skills.

Our Values & Culture 🌞

• Just Pilot: We never settle for “good enough”. We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.


• Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.


• Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it’s hard.


• Owners and Dates: We don’t chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.


• Feedback: We want our employees to flourish, so we regularly provide direct and constructive feedback.

We’re Looking For 🔎

• Curiosity: A natural desire to dig beneath the surface and ask "does this look right?"


• Adaptability: Comfortable pivoting between different ticket types in a fast-paced environment.


• Communication: Able to explain complex situations simply, both in writing and over the phone.


• Tech Savvy: A fast learner who is comfortable navigating multiple internal systems simultaneously.


• Ambition: Someone eager to learn Excel (and eventually SQL) to understand the data behind the fraud.

Interview Process 🤝

• Stage 1: 30 minute intro and values call with a Talent Partner


• Stage 2: 60 minute technical assessment with a manager in the Fraud team (in person or virtual)
