## Description

**ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT**

Capitex is a specialist Financial Crime Compliance talent provider. We are building a fraud operations team for a 6-month staffing engagement with a leading Kuwaiti bank's 24/7 digital fraud operations function.

This is a 6-month consultancy engagement with a defined delivery model: the first two months are delivered fully remotely, and from Month 3 the role relocates onsite to the bank's offices in Kuwait City for the remainder of the term. Onsite presence in Kuwait from Month 3 is a firm requirement of the role, not a preference - please only apply if you are genuinely able and willing to relocate for the onsite phase.

**THE ROLE**

You will be the analytical engine of the fraud operations team: turning alert, transaction and case data into detection improvements, management information and tuning decisions. You will work under the bank's direction, alongside Capitex L1 and L2 analysts and a senior fraud investigator, and be the bridge between what the operation sees and what the detection estate does.

**WHAT YOU WILL DO**

\-      Analyse fraud alert and case data to identify trends, emerging typologies, detection gaps and false-positive drivers.

\-      Support rule and threshold tuning on the bank's fraud monitoring platform - build the evidence base, model the impact, and document proposed changes for the bank's approval.

\-      Design and produce operational MI: alert volumes, disposition outcomes, SLA performance, fraud losses and prevented losses, shift-level throughput.

\-      Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting for the fraud operations leadership team.

\-      Support post-incident and thematic reviews with data deep-dives.

\-      Work with L2 and the senior investigator to convert case observations into measurable detection improvements.

## Requirements

**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**

\-      3+ years in data analytics within fraud, financial crime or banking operations.

\-      Strong SQL is essential; Python or R for analysis is a strong plus.

\-      Experience with BI/visualisation tools (Power BI, Tableau or equivalent) and building operational dashboards.

\-      Familiarity with fraud detection platforms and alert data structures (FICO Falcon, Actimize, SAS or equivalent) - enough to interrogate their output and support tuning.

\-      Ability to present analysis clearly to operational and senior stakeholders in English.

\-      Confirmed availability for an August 2026 start and genuine willingness to be onsite in Kuwait City from Month 3 to Month 6.

**ENGAGEMENT DETAILS**

\-      6-month consultancy agreement with Capitex, with extension possible on client renewal.

\-      Competitive all-inclusive monthly consultancy fee, with an additional housing allowance during the onsite phase.

\-      Visa, work authorisation and payroll for the Kuwait onsite phase are arranged and sponsored through our employer-of-record partner.

\-      Laptop (Dell Latitude) provided by Capitex; client systems access configured by the bank.

\-      Commencement is aligned to contract mobilisation - indicative start August 2026, confirmed at offer stage.

**SCREENING QUESTIONS (WORKABLE)**

\-      The role is delivered onsite at the client's Kuwait City offices from Month 3 to Month 6. Are you able and willing to relocate to Kuwait for this period, with accommodation supported by a housing allowance? (Yes/No - disqualify on No)

\-      Are you available to commence in August 2026? If you have a notice period, what is it? (Short answer)

\-      Rate your SQL from 1-5 and describe the most complex fraud or operational dataset you have worked with. (Paragraph)

\-      Have you supported fraud rule/threshold tuning? Briefly describe one change you evidenced and its impact. (Paragraph)

\-      Do you hold a passport with at least 12 months' validity remaining? (Yes/No)
