Overview of tasks:

-
Execute account decisions accurately and completely, following documented procedures — including account locking, case notes, AML referrals, closure documentation, and customer communications in the correct sequence
-
Contact our users for information on their account usage and transactions
-
Identify the correct fraud typology for each case (e.g., account takeover, check fraud, business email compromise) and apply it consistently
-
Initiate enhanced due diligence (EDD) reviews on higher-risk users and escalate to the internal team for completion
-
Use the client scorecard to guide and document your decision-making on each alert
-
Escalate accounts appropriately through defined channels based on case type and risk level — knowing when to act independently and when to route to an internal reviewer
-
Work with our internal team to resolve questions and second opinions through established workflows
-
Document investigative findings clearly and escalate unusual or potentially suspicious activity to our partners for SAR consideration
-
Maintain organized queues and manage workload efficiently during high-volume periods without sacrificing accuracy

-
Execute multi-step workflows with precision and completeness — you follow documented steps accurately, don't skip actions under time pressure, and close the loop on every case
-
Maintain consistent quality as alert volume increases — your accuracy holds whether you're working through 20 alerts or 80
