Job Title: Fraud Analyst
Organisation: M-KOPA
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
About Organisation:
The scale and impact of our work is massive. M-KOPA is a fast-growing Fin Tech company offering millions of underbanked customers across Africa access to life-enhancing products and services. From our roots as the pioneer in pay-as-you-go “PayGo’” solar energy for off grid homes, we have grown into one of the most advanced connected asset financing platforms in the world, empowering a broad range of customers to achieve progress in their lives.
Job Summary: We are looking for a Fraud Analyst to join our Fraud team as we strengthen our defenses and protect the financial dreams of millions across our markets.
As a Fraud Analyst, you will become a digital detective in the fight against financial crime, standing guard over our customers’ aspirations and our company’s integrity. Working at the intersection of data science and criminal investigation, you’ll uncover hidden patterns in complex datasets, transform raw information into actionable intelligence, and ensure every fraudulent attempt is stopped before it can harm the communities we serve.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
We believe in data-driven vigilance and continuous learning. You will develop sophisticated analytical processes, conduct thorough investigations, and prepare insights that shape our security strategy. Your analytical prowess will be crucial in identifying emerging risks before they can impact our customers. If you thrive in a dynamic environment where your work directly protects vulnerable communities and enables financial inclusion, and if solving complex puzzles that blend technology with justice appeals to you, this might be the perfect role for you.
You will be reporting to the Fraud Manager.
Success in this role comes from a unique blend of analytical rigor and investigative instinct. We need someone who has walked the path of complex fraud detection and understands that true security lies in the ability to see patterns others miss. Your experience should tell a story of uncovering sophisticated fraud schemes that didn’t just solve individual cases but strengthened entire systems.
Qualifications, Skills and Experience:
- We are seeking someone whose career demonstrates a deep understanding of how data can reveal criminal behavior. Perhaps you have developed detection models that transformed fraud prevention strategies, or maybe you’ve been the person who spotted anomalies others overlooked and crafted solutions that kept critical operations secure. Your ability to mine data for fraud indicators and derive actionable insights should be second nature, as should your talent for communicating complex findings to diverse stakeholders.
- The ideal candidate will hold certification in a fraud-related discipline, such as Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), with proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and statistical analysis. Your minimum of two years’ experience in fraud prevention or analysis would give you valuable context for the evolving landscape of financial crime.
- Most importantly, we need someone who embodies our values of integrity, vigilance, and unwavering commitment to justice – someone who doesn’t just want a job but wants to be part of a mission that’s protecting financial inclusion across an entire continent.
- If this sounds like the challenge you’ve been waiting for, where your expertise in fraud detection and data analysis can truly make a difference in safeguarding our customers’ financial futures, we want to hear your story.
How to Apply:
If you are ready to make a difference and drive financial excellence in a dynamic and innovative environment, we want to hear from you!
