Fraud Analysis Manager

About the role

As the Fraud Manager, you will lead H‑E‑B's Fraud team, owning the day-to-day investigation, detection, and resolution of suspected fraudulent transactions across the business. You’ll manage a team of fraud analysts working on account takeovers, payment fraud, and refund abuse, while identifying the trends and patterns that connect individual cases to broader fraud activity. You'll be responsible for ensuring investigations are timely, accurate, and consistent, and for building the workflows, tools, and documentation that let the team scale. You will also work with the Digital Trust team to implement tooling and rules with external vendors and ensure programs are in place to address different fraud vectors. Additionally, you will partner with the in-store Loss Prevention team to ensure a strong omnichannel fraud program.

Success in this role requires equal parts people leadership and analytical rigor: you're as comfortable coaching an analyst through a tricky case as you are spotting an emerging fraud pattern in the data or briefing senior leadership on what it means for the business.
