The Senior Data Analyst, Fraud Data & Value Stream Analytics will support two connected priorities: building the data foundation that powers fraud detection, decisioning, investigations, and customer protection, and developing Value Stream scorecards that measure business performance and outcomes. This role will partner with Fraud, Product, Data, Technology, Architecture, Analytics, Risk, Compliance, Finance, and Operations teams to translate business needs into clear data requirements, trusted metrics, and actionable insights.

The Analyst will map data across business processes and source systems, assess data quality and readiness, support real-time and batch data initiatives, and maintain documentation that improves lineage, traceability, and reuse. The role will also define and validate scorecard metrics, reconcile results to source data, produce recurring performance reporting, and explain trends and drivers to stakeholders. It is well suited for a curious, detail-oriented analyst who can connect business problems to data, communicate findings clearly, and work across teams to move complex initiatives forward.

• Develop and maintain Value Stream scorecards, dashboards, metric dictionaries, calculation logic, targets, and recurring performance reporting.
• Reconcile scorecard results to authoritative sources, investigate variances, document methodology and lineage, and clearly explain trends, drivers, limitations, and changes.
• Maintain fraud data inventories, metadata, ownership, quality measures, lineage, and traceability across source and consuming systems.
• Support real-time and batch data delivery through requirements validation, testing, reconciliation, production validation, and ongoing monitoring.
• Communicate findings, risks, decisions, and recommendations to technical and nontechnical audiences while managing multiple priorities in a collaborative environment.

• 3+ years of experience in data analysis, business intelligence, performance measurement, scorecard reporting, data management, financial services, fraud, risk, or a related discipline.
• Strong SQL skills and experience querying, joining, validating, and analyzing large datasets across multiple sources.
• Experience with data profiling, mapping, data-quality assessment, reconciliation, root-cause analysis, metadata, lineage, metric governance, and requirements documentation.
• Experience developing and maintaining scorecards, dashboards, metric definitions, and visual analyses using Snowflake, Power BI, and Excel.
• Working knowledge of data concepts such as real-time streaming, batch integration, APIs, data models, operational data stores, analytical platforms, and cloud-based services.
• Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, problem-solving, documentation, and verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and collaborate effectively with business, product, data, and technology partners.
• Experience with Python or another analytical programming language is preferred.
