Associate Threat Analyst

Experience Level: Associate

Description

Role: Associate Threat Analyst — BioCatch 

About the Role 

BioCatch is the leader in Behavioral Biometrics, helping 34 of the world's top 100 banks and 340+ financial institutions combat fraud through actionable behavioral insights. We're looking for a Threat Analyst to help strengthen our customers' ability to anticipate, detect, and mitigate emerging fraud threats — combining specialized domain expertise, data analytics, continuous control optimization, and capability transfer to internal teams. 

This is a consultancy-style role blending advanced analytics, strategic fraud advisory, and cross-level communication (from C-suite to operational fraud investigators). You'll work autonomously as part of a globally distributed Threat Analyst network. 

Key Responsibilities 

1. Fraud Analysis & Detection 

Design, test, implement, and optimize real-time tactical rules and controls to promptly detect and mitigate fraud attacks and emerging typologies. 

2. Threat Research & New Typologies 

Analyze emerging patterns and behaviors alongside Data Science and the customer's specialized teams, covering Account Takeover (ATO), fraudulent account openings, Remote Access Trojans/Tools (RAT), social engineering, digital scams, and mule account detection. 

3. Analytics & Control Optimization 

Analyze transactional data and customer behavior to identify risk patterns and control gaps. Propose adjustments that increase detection capability, reduce losses, and optimize false positives — using a data-driven approach to prove BioCatch's value against success criteria in proof-of-value and pilot projects. 

4. Specialized Advisory & Knowledge Transfer 

Provide SME advisory to maximize customer value from BioCatch solutions. Transfer knowledge to internal teams, educate new/potential customers on Behavioral Biometrics, and communicate findings and recommendations to both technical and executive audiences. 

5. Customer & Field Engagement 

Maintain strong relationships across the customer's fraud-fighting functions. Work tactically to deploy rules for acute fraud attacks. Share field learnings with Sales Enablement and act as a voice of the customer back to BioCatch product/Data Science teams. 

6. Reporting & Thought Leadership 

Deliver reporting and insights on fraud detection performance. Strive to be a thought leader in the fraud prevention space, supporting BioCatch Sales in new customer acquisition.
