About the Team
At Synchrony, the Acquisition Fraud Strategy team operates at the intersection of risk, data, and customer experience. Our mission is to protect the financial health of our portfolio while enabling growth through intelligent, data-driven strategies. We work within a multi-functional environment, collaborating closely with model developers, strategy validation, and implementation teams to ensure our fraud defenses are robust, transparent, and aligned with organizational goals.
About the Role
As the AVP, Acquisition Fraud Strategy and Model Monitoring, you will serve as a strategic partner in safeguarding our credit acquisition processes. This role exists to bridge the gap between complex model performance data and actionable business strategy. You will oversee the performance of fraud models, conducting deep-dive analytics to identify underlying issues when models deteriorate.
Your day-to-day involves partnering with model developers and the Credit Strategy Validation team to craft remediation plans that restore model efficacy. You will author executive summaries that translate technical concepts into clear narratives for leadership, ensuring transparency and alignment across the organization. Beyond monitoring, you will support the evaluation of new fraud tools, coordinate model roll-outs, and collaborate with cross-functional leads to drive targeting solutions that meet business objectives.
Reporting to the VP of Acquisition Fraud Strategy, you will navigate a fast-paced environment where flexibility and resilience are key. You will work alongside off-shore teams and engage with 2nd and 3rd line of defense functions to ensure strong governance and safety. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex problems, managing multiple projects, and influencing stakeholders to achieve desired P&L impacts.
Hiring Process
Candidates selected for this role will undergo a structured interview process designed to assess both technical acumen and cultural fit. The process typically includes:
- Initial Screening: A conversation with a recruiter to discuss background and role alignment.
- Technical & Strategic Deep Dive: An interview with the hiring manager focusing on fraud strategy, model monitoring, and problem-solving scenarios.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Meetings with potential peers and stakeholders to evaluate teamwork and communication styles.
- Final Review: A final discussion to address any remaining questions and outline next steps.
