Ready to take your career global?
Make your mark at one of the biggest names in payments. We’re looking for a Risk Analyst Specialist to join our ever evolving Commercial Risk team and help shape the future of global commerce.
As a Risk Analyst on the Commercial Risk Team with a focus on Risk Intelligence, you’ll work on the cutting edge of risk management with the largest FinTech company in the world. While using your advanced technical skills to protect Worldpay from threats, you will partner with business leaders to identify risks, evaluate the effectiveness of controls, and promote continuous improvement.
What You Will Be Doing
- Provide decision support for new verticals/markets/partners with clear guardrails to enable responsible revenue growth.
- Identify process bottlenecks; implement automation and policy simplification to reduce friction and improve time-to-decision.
- Ensure strategic objectives of the Commercial Risk Management program are met, including execution of risk assessment activities, coordination of risk response, and program testing and validation, augmented by AI-driven analytics and automation where appropriate.
- Lead the integration of AI solutions into risk operations to improve detection, triage, and prevention (e.g., anomaly detection, segmentation, scoring models), with clear performance baselines, target outcomes, and governance.
- Review significant events and loss drivers; advise business owners on remediation and preventive controls, including opportunities for AI-enabled root-cause analysis, early-warning indicators, and predictive risk signals.
- Perform risk assessments across Data Protection, Supplier Management, and Enterprise Risk Management programs; identify potential issues, control gaps, data quality risks, model risks, and process efficiencies, leveraging advanced analytics and AI-assisted testing where applicable.
- Document risk analyses and controls; evaluate control design and drive continuous control improvement, including the use of AI/ML-enabled control monitoring and continuous control testing.
- Participate in and often lead cross-functional projects to mitigate risks, generating actionable remediation plans and embedding AI-enabled monitoring to sustain risk reduction.
- Track, coordinate, and resolve issues identified in control, compliance, audit, or risk work; implement dashboards and alerts for ongoing AI model and process performance monitoring.
- Develop and maintain knowledge of regulatory requirements, with emphasis on emerging AI/ML regulations, standards, and guidance relevant to financial services and payments (e.g., model risk management, data governance, AI ethics).
- Produce executive-ready reporting that supports decision making and future investment cases, including business cases, ROI analyses, and total cost of ownership for AI and data capabilities.
- Provide training and change management to upskill staff on AI-enabled risk practices, tools, and responsible AI principles.
- Other related duties as needed.
