Fraud and Scams Officer

About this role

Protect customers. Prevent fraud. Make a genuine difference.

Fraud and scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and protecting customers has never been more important.

We are partnering with a leading Australian financial institution to recruit multiple Fraud & Scams Specialists to join a growing, high-performing team responsible for protecting customers from financial crime.

This is not your typical contact centre role.

You'll play a critical role helping customers who may have been impacted by fraud or scams, investigating suspicious activity, and supporting positive customer outcomes during what is often a stressful and emotional experience.

If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, asking the right questions, thinking critically and helping people when they need it most, we'd love to hear from you.

• Manage inbound and outbound customer interactions relating to fraud, scams and suspicious activity

• Support customers who may have been victims of scams
• Escalate high-risk matters where required
• Work across multiple systems and platforms simultaneously
• Follow strict regulatory, compliance and operational procedures
• Deliver excellent customer service during difficult and often emotionally charged conversations

This is a fast-paced operational environment where strong judgement, resilience and attention to detail are essential.

This role operates within a rotating roster environment.

• Shifts may operate across a 7-day roster
• Weekend work is required
• Public holiday shifts may be required
