About the role
We are looking for a Risk Analyst Senior to join the Risk team and take ownership of one of the top-priority process in our risk strategy. You will find the levers that make the process work better, turn analysis into real product and strategy changes, and drive them to launch together with a dedicated analytics team and engineers. This is a role for someone who wants to run a direction, not only support it: you will set the backlog, shape priorities, and be accountable for the results.
Challenges that await you:
- Own the risk strategy end to end and develop it as a product: define where it can improve and what to change
- Analyze performance drivers and turn the findings into concrete changes to the process and risk strategy
- Build and prioritize the backlog, launch new ideas and experiments, and make sure that the solutions you ship are effective and sustainable
- Calculate the unit economics and the impact of every change, so that decisions are backed by numbers
- Coordinate work between analytics and engineering, and align plans and priorities with business stakeholders
What makes you a great fit:
- 3+ years of experience in risk analytics and/or product analytics
- Proficient in SQL and Python, with hands-on experience working with data
- A track record of identifying opportunities and leading improvements to a product, process, or portfolio, from the first hypothesis to measurable impact
- Strong command of economics: you can calculate the unit economics, efficiency, and impact of an initiative
- Product thinking and project management skills: you can build a backlog, prioritize, and move several workstreams forward at once
- Experience in credit risk, portfolio management, or risk strategy configuration is a big advantage
- Proactive mindset: you spot what needs to change and drive it yourself, and you can explain why your solution will work and why it will last
- Strong analytical and technical skills, plus the ability to present your thinking clearly
- Education: Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related STEM field from a top technical university
- B1 or higher English level for effective communication with an international team
Our ways of working:
- Innovative Spirit : a commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
- Honest Feedback : valuing open, transparent communication
- Supportive Team : a strong, collaborative community
- Celebrating Achievements : recognizing our wins together
- High-Tech Environment : a team full of smart and revolutionary people who date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances
Our benefits:
- Relocation support to Mexico with assistance for the employee and their family
- Flexible work : hybrid or full-time from our offices
- Healthcare Coverage
- Education Budget : Language lessons, professional training and certifications
- Wellness Budget : Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
- Vacation Policy: Annual leave and paid sick leave as per applicable policies
