Fraud Data Analyst (Banking) - 6-Month Contract

Capitex · London, United Kingdom (Hybrid) · Contract · Posted 2026-08-19

Workplace: hybrid

Description

About the engagement

Capitex is a specialist Financial Crime Compliance talent provider. We are hiring a Fraud Data Analyst for a 6-month contract supporting the 24/7 fraud operation of a leading international banking client.

The shape of the engagement: the first phase is delivered fully remote from the UK. From Month 3, the engagement moves onsite with the client overseas, with relocation fully supported - flight, visa sponsorship and a housing allowance on top of your fee. Location specifics are shared at screening stage. Onsite participation from Month 3 is a firm requirement of the role, not a preference - please only apply if a supported working stint abroad genuinely works for you.

The role

You will be the analytical engine of the fraud operations team - working alongside L1 and L2 fraud analysts and a senior fraud investigator, and acting as the bridge between what the operation sees and what the detection estate does.
