Job Summary

A senior leadership opportunity at the forefront of fraud risk management within a leading African bank. This role is critical in shaping, governing, and strengthening first-line fraud control frameworks across a complex financial services environment.

Reporting at VP level, the Head of Fraud Controls & Fraud Regulatory Compliance is accountable for providing strategic direction, oversight, and independent challenge to ensure that fraud risk management practices are robust, compliant, and aligned to enterprise risk standards. The role operates as a key first line of defence, focusing on preventative controls, regulatory adherence, quality assurance, and governance rather than investigative execution.

You will work closely with Group Risk, Compliance, and Fraud leadership to influence policy, drive assurance outcomes, and embed a strong risk culture across Fraud Solutions. This includes ownership of control frameworks, audit readiness, regulatory engagement, and continuous improvement initiatives that protect the organisation from financial loss, regulatory sanction, and reputational damage.

Our client is a prominent pan-African banking group with a strong focus on governance, risk discipline, and sustainable growth. The organisation operates in a highly regulated environment and is known for investing in senior talent that can balance commercial outcomes with rigorous risk control.

Maintain fraud risk registers, dashboards, and mitigation plans

Provide oversight on POPIA, data privacy, and business continuity inputs

What You Bring

Extensive senior-level experience in fraud controls, fraud risk governance, or regulatory compliance within financial services

Strong first-line-of-defence expertise with a preventative and control-focused orientation

Deep understanding of enterprise risk management, regulatory frameworks, and audit processes

Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate independently

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Commerce, or a related field

MBA or relevant risk/fraud certifications advantageous

What Success Looks Like

Robust, auditable fraud control frameworks embedded across Fraud Solutions

Consistently strong audit and assurance outcomes

Reduced regulatory, operational, and reputational risk exposure

A mature, proactive fraud risk culture aligned to enterprise standards
