Your Role

We’re seeking a Business Intelligence Analyst to join our Fraud Risk team. In this role, you will play a key part in establishing, enhancing, and maintaining Tamara’s Fraud Framework in alignment with SAMA’s Counter-Fraud Framework (CFF), ensuring governance, oversight, and compliance maturity across all internal and external fraud risk domains.

You will contribute to developing fraud risk strategies by analyzing data, investigating internal fraud cases, and assessing control effectiveness across the organization. Drawing on your experience in data analysis (SQL) and exposure to fraud operations, you will support continuous improvements to Tamara’s fraud prevention and detection environment.

You will serve as a SAMA-facing subject matter expert, assisting in providing evidence, documentation, and responses to SAMA inquiries and ensuring full alignment with regulatory expectations. Your experience in working with or within Big Four consulting firms on fraud risk management frameworks will be valuable in building a robust and sustainable second-line function.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders — including Fraud Operations, Compliance, Risk, and Internal Audit — to ensure consistent implementation of fraud governance requirements, effective remediation of identified risks, and transparent communication of key fraud indicators.

You are driven, analytical, and solutions-oriented, comfortable working under pressure in a dynamic fintech environment. You thrive in data-driven environments, excel at detail-oriented tasks, and can shift seamlessly between strategic thinking and hands-on analysis.

Your Responsibilities

• Financial Crime Dashboards & Monitoring

• Risk & Trend Analysis
   Identify emerging fraud and AML trends across customers, merchants, products, and geographies.
• Data Support for Financial Crime Operations
   Provide timely, accurate data to MLROs and Financial Crime teams for internal reporting, committees, and management updates.
