Data Analyst III - Fraud

Overview

As a Senior Fraud Data Analyst III at Fanatics Betting & Gaming, you will be a core driver of our fraud analytics and data infrastructure. This role is highly hands-on and execution-focused, with a mandate to fully automate and scale fraud reporting and analysis currently operating in Google Sheets into a robust, production-grade data pipeline.

You will sit at the intersection of Fraud & Risk, Data Engineering, and Analytics, owning fraud datasets end-to-end—from raw ingestion and modeling through insight generation and decision support. This is a senior, high-impact role for someone who can work independently, identify gaps, and drive initiatives to completion without heavy oversight.

The ideal candidate is a SQL and dbt expert, deeply fluent in modern analytics engineering practices, and brings strong domain expertise in fraud detection, prevention, and investigation within regulated, high-volume environments.

Key Responsibilities

Fraud Data Pipeline Ownership & Automation

• Lead the migration of fraud reporting and workflows into a fully automated, scalable data pipeline.
• Design, build, and maintain analytics-ready data models using dbt that support fraud monitoring, investigation, and strategy.
• Partner with Data Engineering to ensure reliable ingestion, data quality, and documentation of fraud-related datasets.

Fraud Analytics & Monitoring

• Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting that track key fraud metrics such as:
  • Fraud rates and loss
  • Chargebacks and disputes
  • Bonus abuse, promo abuse, and multi-accounting
  • KYC and account integrity signals
• Surface emerging fraud patterns and anomalies through proactive analysis.

Advanced SQL & Analytics Engineering

• Write performant, production-quality SQL across large, complex datasets.
• Build modular, reusable dbt models that enable self-service analytics for Fraud & Risk teams.
• Implement testing, freshness checks, and documentation to ensure trust in fraud data.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work closely with Fraud & Risk, Payments, Customer Support, Product, and Engineering to align on definitions, metrics, and investigative workflows.
• Translate fraud questions and operational needs into clear analytical outputs and recommendations.

Strategic Insight & Decision Support

• Provide actionable insights to fraud leadership to inform:
  • Risk rules and thresholds
  • Tooling and vendor evaluations
  • Process improvements and operational tradeoffs

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in analytics, data analysis, or analytics engineering, with significant focus on fraud, risk, or payments.
• Expert-level SQL skills with experience working in cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
• Strong experience with dbt and modern analytics engineering best practices.
• Proven ability to take ambiguous, manual processes and turn them into clean, automated, scalable solutions.
• Experience working independently and owning projects end-to-end.
• Strong analytical judgment and ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Direct experience in fraud detection, payments risk, or financial crime within sports betting, gaming, fintech, or ecommerce.
• Familiarity with:
  • Chargeback workflows and card networks
  • KYC/AML processes
  • Fraud tooling or risk engines
• Experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Sigma, or similar.
   

What Success Looks Like

• Fraud reporting and analysis are fully automated, reliable, and no longer dependent on manual spreadsheets.
• Fraud stakeholders trust and rely on your models and dashboards for day-to-day decision-making.
• You proactively identify fraud risks and data gaps before they become incidents.
• You operate as a thought partner to Fraud leadership, not just a reporting function.
