Lead Anti-Fraud Officer
Department: Risk B2C
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: KSA
Description
The Lead Anti-Fraud Officer independently leads complex governance, risk, and compliance activities and serves as a subject matter expert in one or more GRC domains — enterprise information security governance, risk management frameworks, regulatory compliance, or third-party risk management. The role produces high-quality GRC deliverables, provides technical mentoring to junior and mid-level team members, and contributes directly to the continuous improvement of the organization's GRC framework, risk treatment processes, and compliance reporting mechanisms.
The Lead Anti-Fraud Officer operates as a bridge between technical execution and programme leadership — collaborating with leads, legal, audit, and business stakeholders to drive mature and effective GRC outcomes aligned with the Saudi Fintech regulatory environment.

Enterprise Risk Management
- Lead the execution of complex enterprise information security risk assessments, applying advanced qualitative and quantitative methodologies to produce risk profiles aligned with the organization's risk appetite.

- Lead BIA processes for critical business functions — coordinating with asset owners, analysing recovery requirements, and producing BIA outputs for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning.
- Design and execute control effectiveness testing programmes, producing findings reports with gap analysis and risk-ranked remediation recommendations.
- Lead third-party information security risk management — designing assessment frameworks, conducting in-depth vendor reviews, and maintaining the third-party risk register.
- Produce executive-quality risk reporting with trend analysis, emerging risk identification, and treatment progress tracking for senior management and committee consumption.
Compliance Programme Delivery
- Lead compliance monitoring activities for CFFR, NCA ECC, PDPL, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS — producing gap analyses, treatment plans, and periodic compliance status reports.
