The Opportunity DAT is seeking an experienced Senior Manager, Fraud Strategy & Prevention in Seattle, WA to build and scale fraud prevention across DAT's global platform. This role combines deep analytical capabilities with strategic program leadership to protect the integrity of our marketplace and customers. You'll drive DAT's fraud prevention strategy across all platforms – including DAT's core marketplace, Convoy Platform, and collaboration with Outgo and Trucker Tools teams – creating platform‑specific and global responses based on emerging fraud vectors.
As the strategic owner of fraud prevention, you'll inherit an opportunity to significantly strengthen fraud defenses and reduce exposure across platforms with broad industry reach. You'll build scalable detection and prevention systems and work closely with product, engineering, and data science teams to translate insights and learnings into effective solutions. This role requires exceptional pattern recognition skills, investigative persistence, technical depth, and the ability to build industry relationships while translating complex security concepts into business value.
What You’ll Do
Drive DAT's carrier and broker fraud prevention strategy across DAT's marketplace and the Convoy Platform with partnership and collaboration across Outgo and Trucker Tools to develop platform‑specific and global responses to emerging fraud vectors
Proactively identify, investigate, and analyze fraud patterns, user behavior abnormalities, and security trends across DAT platforms by analyzing datasets and ingesting qualitative trends
Monitor real‑time platform activity to detect emerging threats, suspicious behaviors, and potential vulnerabilities as programs scale and grow
Conduct comprehensive risk assessments using qualitative and quantitative data to uncover new and evolving threats, pulling investigative threads to their conclusion regardless of complexity
Build and maintain industry relationships to establish yourself as a thought leader in freight fraud prevention and security best practices
Collaborate with product, engineering, and data teams to translate security insights into technical requirements and solution specifications
Build and iterate on the CARVE methodology – the Convoy Platform’s forensic behavioral analysis approach for carrier onboarding, vetting, and continuous monitoring that proactively blocks risk before it's realized
Design scalable fraud detection and prevention processes that evolve with platform growth and emerging threats, balancing tactical quick wins with long‑term strategic solutions
Partner with Risk Analysts and operational associates to create effective and sustainable processes to analyze fraud events and drive customer experience
Drive customer relationship excellence by clearly communicating fraud prevention capabilities, security measures, and risk mitigation strategies
Lead cross‑functional initiatives to build technology solutions that proactively prevent fraudulent activities while minimizing friction for legitimate users
The Skills And Experience You’ll Bring
7+ years in analytical leadership roles managing complex, data‑driven programs at scale
Exceptional pattern recognition and investigative skills – you identify fraud vectors and behavioral anomalies that others miss, even in large, complex datasets
Highly technical and quantitative – strong hands‑on experience with SQL and data analysis/modeling to both analyze problems and build solutions
Strategic thinking combined with tactical execution – you're comfortable building from scratch in unstructured, fast‑paced environments and can balance quick wins with long‑term solutions
Proven ability to lead and develop analytical teams, with experience hiring, coaching, and motivating high‑performing talent
Outstanding communication skills – you translate complex technical and security concepts into clear strategies for diverse audiences including customers, executives, and engineering teams
Technical collaboration experience working with product, engineering, and data science teams to build automated detection and prevention systems
Strong partnership skills working effectively with operational teams to create sustainable processes and drive customer experience
Self‑motivated with ability to manage multiple complex investigations and strategic initiatives simultaneously
Experience in fraud prevention, risk management, or trust & safety – particularly applying practices from finance, fintech, or marketplace industries to detect and prevent fraud at scale (strongly preferred)
MBA or advanced degree in Data Science, Engineering, Statistics, or related quantitative field (strongly preferred)
