This is a hands-on data role for someone who enjoys digging into large datasets, isolating patterns, and turning raw signals into clear, defensible conclusions. You will work directly in our data environment to investigate suspicious activity, quantify the impact of fraud and promo abuse, and produce the analysis and reporting that leadership relies on making decisions.

Responsibilities include: Querying and analyzing large datasets to investigate accounts, cohorts, and transaction patterns tied to suspected fraud and related risk activity. Building account-level and cohort-level analysis in Excel, Amplitude, Power BI and other tools to support investigations and quantify impact. Producing clear, professional reports and written summaries that translate complex analysis into tangible findings and recommendations for leadership. Investigating alerts and signals generated across internal and third-party detection systems, and validating or disproving suspected fraud scenarios. Supporting recurring operational and leadership reporting, with insights grounded in data. Assisting with the development and testing of detection rules and logic, and helping identify gaps and opportunities to improve accuracy. Conducting quality reviews of case handling and documentation against internal standards. Helping build and maintain the queries, tools, templates, and documentation that support the analytics function. Managing multiple concurrent projects and ad hoc requests while meeting turnaround expectations and following documented procedures. Partnering with fraud operations, compliance, and other teams to align on process and escalation. What are we looking for? Successful candidates will be self-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI is a plus. Knowledge of gambling and sports betting, and how customers engage with those products, is a plus.
