Our Fraud Strategy team is responsible for the prevention, detection, and customer handling of account takeover, identify fraud, first-party fraud, and never-pay loss for Verizon Consumer Group. As a VCG Strategy Consultant, you will champion bold ideas and lead the execution strategy to evolve and grow fraud mitigation capabilities across the business while supporting our sales, growth, and customer experience drivers.

You will work closely with various technical and non-technical stakeholders, including sales / marketing / CX / channel strategy; data scientists and business intelligence experts; application developers and software engineers; and, frontline operations and customer-facing teams.

You thrive in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines and can adapt to changing circumstances and juggle competing priorities.
