Job Description

Hello! We're Teya.

Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.

We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street. We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters. We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story.

We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.

The Team:

The Customer Risk Monitoring team, part of the Acceptance group, is responsible for implementing and maintaining the analytical intelligence that protects Teya and its customers from exposure to financial risks, including fraud and money laundering. Our goals are to minimise financial losses to Teya while maintaining customer trust and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. This team aligns very closely with the Ops teams investigating suspicious activities.

As a senior data analyst in fraud, you will work collaboratively with the data scientists building our in-house fraud intelligence, the engineers integrating it, the Ops investigators using this intelligence in the real world, and the team leadership aligning this work with roadmap goals and strategic planning.

  3. Work with senior product, business, and engineering leaders to analyse data, identify opportunities for building new models, develop and maintain real-time dashboards, and deliver insights through in-depth reports.
  4. Effectively manage business stakeholders and drive initiatives to promote actionable insights, identifying and prioritising requirements and owning a roadmap of deliverables.
  5. Build and maintain dashboards, documentation and reports in various environments, including Snowflake, Tableau and other visualisation tools.
  6. Build predictive models to forecast our fraud KPIs and evaluate against the budget and actuals.
  7. Collaborate with data engineering to build and maintain ETLs and data models relevant to the fraud and financial risk domain.
  8. Promote a data-driven culture across the business.

Qualifications

Basic Requirements:

  1. 3+ years of professional data analyst experience in a technical domain.

Nice to have:
