At USAA, we have an important mission: facilitating the financial security of millions of U.S. military members and their families. As a dedicated Fraud Strategy & Analytics Analyst I, you will provide decision support for business areas across the enterprise. Staff in this area will be responsible for applying mathematical and statistical techniques and/or innovative quantitative analytical approaches to draw conclusions and make 'insight to action' recommendations to answer business objectives and motivate change. The essence of work performed by the Fraud Strategy Analytics Analyst I involves gathering, manipulating, and synthesizing data (e.g., attributes, transactions, behaviors, etc.), models and other relevant information to draw conclusions and make recommendations resulting in implementable strategies. We offer a flexible work environment that requires an individual to be in the office 4 days per week. This position can be based in one of the following locations: San Antonio, TX, Plano, TX, Phoenix, AZ, Colorado Springs, CO, Charlotte, NC, or Tampa, FL. Relocation assistance is not available for this position. This position can work remotely in the continental U.S. with occasional business travel. However, any individual that resides within a 60-mile radius of the listed USAA office locations and able and willing to work 4 days from the office is preferred. As an individual contributor in a specialized team within Financial Crimes, you will leverage your understanding within the Financial Crimes space to independently solve complex problems that align with strategic business direction. You will use intermediate and some advanced business, analytical, and technical knowledge to participate in discussions with cross-functional teams to understand and collaborate on business objectives and influence solution strategies. Your role will involve applying advanced analytical techniques to solve business problems that are typically medium to large scale with impact to current and/or future business strategy. You will also be responsible for translating recommendations into communication materials to effectively present to colleagues for peer review and mid-to-upper-level management, incorporating visualization techniques to support the relevant points of the analysis and ease understanding for less technical audiences. Additionally, you will identify and gather the relevant and quality data sources required to fully answer and address the problem for the recommended strategy through testing or exploratory data analysis (EDA).
