Senior Analytics Manager

We are seeking a senior Analytics Manager–level consultant with exceptionally strong analytical capabilities to support fraud risk management within a fast-moving financial services environment.

This assignment is analysis-driven, not experience-driven alone. While prior fraud domain exposure is important, the primary success factor is the consultant’s ability to deeply analyse data, identify patterns, challenge assumptions, and generate actionable insights. Fraud scenarios vary continuously, and this role requires intellectual rigor, curiosity, and strong problem-solving skills rather than reliance on predefined fraud playbooks.

Start: ASAP

Duration: Until Further Notice

Location: Stockholm or London
