Head of Data Science - Fraud Insights

About the role

Socure sits on one of the most consequential datasets in the world - a global identity graph spanning hundreds of millions of identities, incorporating PII, device signals, behavioral telemetry, network relationships, and a continuous feedback loop of real-world fraud and verification outcomes across thousands of clients. The patterns inside this graph tell the story of how fraud evolves: who the adversaries are, how they adapt, and where they're going next. We are not looking for someone to report what happened. We are looking for someone who can explain why it happened, predict what comes next, and make that story impossible to ignore - for regulators, customers, boards, and the market. This person will sit directly at the intersection of rigorous research, macroeconomic and regulatory intelligence, and the richest identity dataset in the industry.

Responsibilities

• Own the Research Agenda
• Turn the Identity Graph Into Intelligence
• Bridge the Outside World to Internal Models
• Tell Stories That Change Minds
• Build & Lead a World-Class Team
• Recruit, mentor, and develop a team of researchers, data scientists, and analysts who share your appetite for rigor and storytelling. Create a culture where intellectual curiosity, methodological discipline, and external credibility are the standard.
• Influence Product, Models & Strategy
• Represent Socure Externally
• Speak at industry conferences, engage regulatory working groups, author market-facing research, and participate in customer and partner forums. Your external credibility is a strategic asset - you invest in it and it compounds for Socure.
• Drive Go-to-Market Differentiation
• Collaborate with Marketing and Growth to develop research-backed thought leadership that strengthens Socure's brand recognition, supports pipeline generation, and reinforces market leadership. Your insights become a competitive moat.
• What You Bring
