Cyber Security Principal

Description

About the Role

FedEx is seeking a highly experienced and visionary Cyber Security Principal to join the Enterprise Fraud & Security Solutions organization. This is a critical leadership role responsible for defining and delivering enterprise-wide strategies to combat sophisticated fraud and protect the integrity of our global logistics network.

As a Principal-level leader and subject matter expert, you will architect and scale advanced fraud prevention solutions that proactively detect, deter, and disrupt emerging fraud schemes. You will operate at the intersection of cybersecurity, data architecture, and physical supply chain operations—bridging digital threat intelligence with real-world logistics risks.

This role requires a strategic thinker and hands-on technical leader who can anticipate evolving fraud vectors, influence enterprise-wide decisions, and engineer resilient, data-driven defenses at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Fraud Architecture

Lead the end-to-end architecture, design, and implementation of scalable, enterprise-grade fraud prevention systems and controls tailored to a complex global logistics environment.

Advanced Threat & Fraud Mitigation

Develop and operationalize strategies to detect and prevent sophisticated fraud schemes, including shipping fraud, account takeovers, synthetic identity fraud, label manipulation, and insider threats.

Data-Driven Detection & Intelligence

Champion advanced analytics, machine learning, and behavioral modeling to identify anomalous patterns, high-risk transactions, and coordinated fraud activity before business impact occurs.

Business Process & Control Optimization

Partner with Product, Operations, and IT to redesign workflows and eliminate systemic vulnerabilities while maintaining a seamless customer experience.

Security & Network Integrity

Act as the technical bridge between digital fraud systems and physical operations, ensuring end-to-end protection of package flow, cargo security, and logistics network integrity.

Fraud Investigation Leadership

Serve as the senior escalation point for high-impact fraud incidents, translating investigative insights into long-term architectural improvements and preventative controls.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Influence and align stakeholders across business, engineering, and operations to drive enterprise fraud initiatives without direct authority.

Qualifications

Experience

• 8+ years of progressive experience designing and architecting solutions at enterprise scale
• Proven track record in fraud prevention, cybersecurity, risk management, or supply chain security

Data Architecture Expertise

• Deep experience designing domain-specific data ecosystems
• Ability to define and implement a unified “data universe” integrating structured and unstructured data (e.g., shipping, telematics, customer, and transactional data)

Domain Knowledge

• Strong understanding of fraud risks in logistics, e-commerce, or transportation environments (e.g., package interception, redirection fraud, manifest manipulation, final-mile theft)

Technical & Analytical Skills

• Proficiency with data analysis and engineering tools (e.g., SQL, Python, cloud data platforms)
• Experience partnering with data science teams to develop predictive models and risk scoring systems

Leadership & Influence

• Demonstrated ability to operate at Principal level, influencing executive stakeholders and driving cross-functional initiatives
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into business impact

Technical Environment & Skills

Cloud Platforms

• Expertise in architecting and deploying solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Data Engineering & Streaming

• Advanced knowledge of BigQuery, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub
• Experience modernizing legacy ETL pipelines (e.g., Ab Initio) and RDBMS systems (e.g., Oracle) to cloud-native architectures

Application Modernization

• Experience with Spring Boot, RESTful services, and microservices architectures
• Proficiency with GKE, Cloud Run, and Apigee

Event-Driven Architecture

• Experience transitioning from legacy middleware (e.g., TIBCO EMS) to scalable, event-driven systems

AI/ML for Fraud Detection

• Familiarity with Vertex AI, BigQuery ML, or similar platforms for real-time anomaly detection and fraud scoring

What Sets This Role Apart

• Direct impact on protecting a global logistics network at massive scale
• Unique blend of cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and physical supply chain security
• High-visibility role with influence across enterprise architecture and operations
• Opportunity to define next-generation fraud defense strategies
