- Strong knowledge of ACH payment processing and applicable NACHA rules.
- Proven ability to measure the financial impact of fraud decisions and communicate findings to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human-in-the-loop practices to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality.

## Nice to haves
- Experience mitigating fraud across multiple payment rails (e.g., ACH, cards, real-time payments) or in international markets.
- Familiarity with machine learning models used in fraud detection, or experience partnering with ML teams to operationalize model outputs.
