  • Partner closely with teams across the business to educate, innovate, and translate complex risk concepts into actionable insights for commercial stakeholders.
  • Deliver insight-led reports for senior leadership, focusing on macro trends, strategic direction, and clear action plans.

Key Requirements:

  • 8+ years of credit risk experience within merchant acquiring, payments, fintech, or agile financial services environments.
  • Hands-on quantitative skills with tools such as SQL, Python, or R to build, validate, and oversee scorecards and underwriting models.
  • Modern tech capability, including the practical application of AI tools, machine learning, and decisioning automation to accelerate risk analysis.
  • Deep regulatory knowledge of the Australian credit landscape, scheme rules, and merchant risk governance.
  • Strong executive presence, proactive ownership, and clear communication skills to influence leadership and drive strategic change independently.
