Full job description
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
The team's core mission is to foster sustainable growth for our platform wallet partnerships, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. This involves a crucial balance of managing portfolio profitability and resilience. As Affirm experiences significant growth, key challenges ahead include developing credit policies for new initiatives and products, creating effective risk management strategies and capabilities, shaping ongoing testing and experimentation, and preparing to navigate unforeseen external changes.
This role requires extensive use of data analytics to derive insights and develop credit strategies. It also requires a lot of cross-functional partnership, working with the Data Science and Engineering team to develop new underwriting models and risk management capabilities, with the Product teams to develop new products and features, with the Merchant Pricing team to value different merchants, with the Finance team to help facilitate discussions with debt and equity investors are some parts of the role.
Come join us in our mission to change consumer finance through better data and technology, lower costs, and increased transparency while providing the best customer experience.
What you'll do
Partner with Data Science and Engineering on building risk analytics capabilities
Develop robust life-time valuation infrastructure and capabilities
Use advanced data analytics and critical thinking to derive insights and optimize credit strategies
Own risk initiatives within new product formation and new market exploration
Monitor portfolio as well as macroeconomic trends impacting loan performance. Drive adjustments to our underwriting and marketing strategies to mitigate risk
What we look for
Passion and drive to change banking, payments and online marketing for the better
2-4 of years work experience as a data analyst/scientist (consumer credit risk management strongly preferred)
Undergraduate degree in relevant field
Curiosity to learn about data, models and algorithms
Extensive experience with SQL, Python, or other scripting languages
Ability to collaborate and influence across different teams in the organization
Ability to communicate findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
A passion for finding insights in data and driving change based on those insights
Intelligence + Humility. Hubris is the fastest way to blow up a business!
