Merchant Risk Analyst
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.
As a Merchant Risk Analyst, you will assess financial risk related to credit, fraud, and identity associated with the merchants. You will also coordinate with cross-functional partners to assess non-financial risk – brand, reputational, legal, and compliance risk.
The ideal candidate will have knowledge or experience in e-commerce underwriting and/or commercial lending. They will also have a solid understanding of evaluating merchant financial risk based on 3rd party data, credit reports, and other merchant attributes. Prior work experience in payments, lending, banking, or financial institutions is a plus!
What you’ll do
- Assess brand, compliance, fraud, and financial risk and determine credit exposure risk on new and existing merchants
- Use business credit reports, financial documents, investigative research tools, and financial market data to conduct risk assessment of Affirm’s merchants
- Investigate and use new sources of third-party data to assess merchant financial risk
- Conduct ongoing monitoring of credit, fraud, and dispute/chargeback trends by merchants
- Business Improvement In Execution: Leverage your knowledge to provide guidance towards the automation/improvements of merchant risk evaluation
What we look for
- 3+ years of experience in assessing merchant risk in a function such as Merchant/Seller Risk Management, Fraud, Collections, or Merchant Underwriting
- Experience working with cross-functional partners across the organization, especially Sales and Business Development teams
- Experience reviewing financial documents, business credit reports, and payment processor statements
- Ownership mentality: Demonstrate an appropriate sense of accountability, ownership, urgency, and execution
