Head of Fraud Prevention & Detection - Brussels - #52831

Your job in a nutshell

Within the Fraud Management & Investigation team of BNP Paribas Fortis - the central hub responsible for fraud fighting across the entire bank - we are looking for a Head of Fraud Prevention & Detection.

You bring together two worlds that rarely sit in one role: on one hand a forward-looking, people-oriented prevention approach (advice, communication, training) aimed at preventing fraud before it happens; on the other hand a technical detection pillar where data, scenarios and AI-driven models are central to recognizing fraud as quickly as possible.

You lead both teams functionally and operationally, and report directly to the Head of Fraud Management & Investigation.

And in detail

Fraud Prevention

• You lead the team responsible for fraud advice, communication and training across the bank
• You build a proactive prevention policy that prevents fraud rather than merely curing it
• You translate regulation and fraud trends into clear, practical guidelines for employees and clients
• You ensure effective awareness-raising and training at all levels of the organization

Fraud Detection

• You manage the technical detection team that develops fraud scenarios, models and dashboards
• You understand the logic behind AI/ML-driven detection models well enough to lead, challenge and set the right priorities for your team
• You safeguard the quality and relevance of reporting towards internal and external stakeholders
• You work closely with data and IT teams to continuously strengthen detection capabilities

Strategy & Leadership

• You are a member of the Fraud Management & Investigation management team
• You set the strategic direction for both prevention and detection over the medium and long term
• You are a people manager: you coach, develop and evaluate your team members
• You report directly to the Head of Fraud Management & Investigation

You get a unique dual lever: you help determine how the bank prevents fraud and how it

detects fraud, with direct impact on the bank and its customers – with a direct reporting line

to the Head of Fraud Management & Investigation.

Highlight your strengths

• Relevant leadership experience, ideally in fraud, financial crime, risk or compliance
• A solid base knowledge of fraud and regulatory matters, and can communicate this to a broad audience
• At least a conceptual, solid understanding of AI/data-driven detection techniques – being a technical expert is not required, but you must be able to understand and challenge your team
• You think strategically and can set out a vision that keeps pace with a fast-changing fraud landscape
• You combine strong people management with stakeholder management at director level
• You are fluent in Dutch, French and English
• Experience in a banking environment is an asset

OUR ENGAGEMENT

At BNP Paribas Fortis, we want to attract and retain all talent, whatever their gender, age, background or sexual orientation, and irrespective of whether they are living with a disability, as every person has their own experiences and their own identity.

If the function is categorized as a banking services provider function (cf.
