Job Title: Field Fraud Investigator - Mobile Devices

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full time
Department: Fintech Fraud

Description

• We are looking for a Fraud Investigator to join our Fraud group, as we scale up and drive digital and financial inclusion across our markets.
• We’re on the lookout for a Fraud Investigator who knows their way around fieldwork, understands how fraud really works on the ground, and isn’t afraid to knock on a few doors (literally and figuratively).
• If you’ve got a background in investigations—maybe from the police, law enforcement, or fraud risk roles—and you know how to work with external partners like the police or courts, then this role might just be for you.

What the Job is all About
You’ll be part of our fraud team, but your job goes way beyond a desk. Here’s a snapshot:

• Follow up on real fraud leads—cases flagged by our analysts that need boots-on-the-ground action.
• Track down people and data using addresses, phone numbers, next of kin details, and good old-fashioned legwork.
• Work closely with agents, informants, and law enforcement to resolve fraud cases and even make arrests when needed.
• Help us stay ahead of fraud trends by sharing what you’re seeing in the field.
• Push cases through the legal system, including securing court orders and getting devices examined when necessary.

What You Should Bring

• Experience in field investigations — this could be fraud, criminal, financial, or security-related.
• Preferably, you’ve worked in or with law enforcement (e.g., detective, CID, or fraud unit). If you come from a private investigations background but know how to handle law enforcement and court systems, that’s great too.
• A professional network in Nigeria’s law enforcement or judicial system.
• You’re comfortable working independently and making judgment calls.
• You’re a great communicator — both with everyday people and professionals in the justice system.
• You understand how to collect, protect, and present evidence — and why getting it right matters.
