Strategy Director Jobs in Tennessee

What We Need
CORPAY is currently looking to hire a Sr. Director, Fraud Analytics and Strategy, within our US Risk division to lead the end-to-end application and transaction fraud agenda for North America lending products. This leader will own fraud analytics, policy, decision strategy, customer authentication, process design, technology roadmap and implementation within the Risk IT framework.

Working closely with Risk IT, Product, Operations, Customer Service, Sales, and external partners, you will build a scalable fraud management capability that reduces fraud losses while enabling responsible growth and protecting legitimate customers. You will also serve as the senior point of escalation for material fraud events, customer-impacting issues and business partner concerns.

We are looking for a candidate with strong leadership skills, business acumen and deep technical and analytical expertise to lead and develop a team of fraud strategy and analytics professionals. This is a player-coach role: you will set the strategic direction, influence senior stakeholders and remain close enough to the data, decision rules, models and implementation details to ensure high-quality execution.
Success will be measured across fraud loss performance, approval and authorization rates, false-positive declines, application completion, authentication success, manual review efficiency, early-life customer retention, control effectiveness and delivery of the fraud technology roadmap. You will report directly to VP, Risk Analytics and regularly collaborate with teams and other departments.
