About the role
As our Credit Risk Director, you will help architect our global credit risk strategy. You'll lead the charge in balancing growth with sound risk management, ensuring that as we scale into new markets and complex verticals, our financial integrity remains unshakeable. We need a leader who is as comfortable with data modeling as they are with operations and high-level executive strategy.
Responsibilities
- Own the Strategy: Design, implement, and iterate on a global credit risk framework that supports diverse verticals (education, healthcare, travel, and B2B).
- Underwriting & Analysis: Oversee the underwriting process for new and existing clients, ensuring deep due diligence and financial health assessment.
- Data-Driven Decisioning: Partner with our Analytics and Engineering teams to build automated credit scoring models and risk monitoring tools that leverage real-time payment data.
- Global Expansion: Guide Flywire's entry into new geographies by assessing local credit environments, regulatory requirements, and sovereign risk factors.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as a key advisor to the Sales and Product teams, helping them structure deals and develop features that mitigate risk and allow for profitable growth of our portfolio.
- Here's what we're looking for:
- The Seasoned Pro: You have 10+ years of experience in credit risk, ideally within Fintech, Payments, or Banking. You've seen a few market cycles and know how to navigate them.
- The Strategic Thinker: You don't just identify risks; you identify solutions. You understand that "no" isn't always the answer-it's about "how."
- A Data Native: You are highly analytical. While you don't need to be a coder, you should be able to speak the language of SQL, Python, or BI tools to drive insights.
- An Exceptional Communicator: You can translate complex financial risk concepts into clear, actionable advice for non-finance stakeholders.
- A Thoughtful People Leader: You encourage the growth and development of your team, knowing that their success is the company's success.
- Global in Mindset: You've managed risk across borders and understand the nuances of international trade and currency volatility, all while helping to profitably grow portfolios.
