Job Description

We are seeking a Lead – Insider Risk & Investigations to help build and operate our global Insider Risk and Investigations capability.
 

This is a hands-on ownership role within a lean team. The successful candidate will play a central role in developing and maturing the Insider Risk and Investigations programme — shaping workflows, improving detection effectiveness, driving preventative initiatives and ensuring appropriate investigative handling where required.
 

This is a broad and hands on role covering Insider Risk, Data Privacy Investigations, Fraud, and Employee Misconduct related investigation.
It combines behavioural judgement, technical literacy and programme development.

This position carries ownership of key programme components.
Formal line management responsibility may evolve as the function matures.

This is a demanding, hands-on role that combines practical execution with programme ownership. The position requires direct involvement in investigations, workflow development, detection refinement and preventative initiatives, alongside broader oversight of programme maturity. It is not suited to someone expecting a large team to deliver strategy on their behalf. Success requires working closely with technical security teams, HR, Legal, Privacy and senior stakeholders to translate policy into operational reality.

Preferred

• Exposure to fraud or whistleblowing investigations
• Experience refining detection use cases or improving alert quality
• Understanding of privacy laws in employee monitoring contexts
• Experience delivering awareness or prevention initiatives

Working Style

This is a practical, execution-focused leadership role in a small team. Success requires initiative, adaptability and a willingness to personally build and improve programme components while handling investigations as needed. It is not a purely strategic, oversight or administrative position.

At Strada, our values guide everything we do:

• Anticipate Customer Needs – We stay ahead of trends so our customers can grow and succeed.
• Own the Outcome – We take responsibility for delivering excellence and ensuring things get done right.
• Challenge Ourselves to Work Smarter – We move faster than the world around us to drive change and accomplish more.
