Position Summary

The Senior Credit Risk Analyst supports the full credit risk lifecycle at Braviant, from originations strategy and underwriting analytics to portfolio monitoring and loss forecasting. This is a highly technical, execution-focused role for someone who is equally comfortable writing production SQL/Python, building a segmentation strategy, and presenting findings to senior leadership. You will work directly with the Head of Credit to develop and refine the risk strategies that drive portfolio performance across our direct mail and digital lending channels.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role suited for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, and biased toward action, not just case review. 

What You'll Be Doing

• Track and analyze key portfolio metrics including FPD, GNS, delinquency roll rates, and D2M performance across origination cohorts and risk segments
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting that surface early warning signals and portfolio trends
• Conduct vintage analysis, loss curve development, and cohort-level performance reviews to support monthly and quarterly business reviews
• Support the design and evaluation of originations strategies, score cutoffs, and underwriting policy changes across DM and digital channels
• Analyze the performance impact of ongoing A/B tests and pricing experiments, translating results into actionable recommendations

What You Will Bring

Required

• 3 to 5 years of experience in credit risk, consumer lending analytics, or a closely related quantitative role
• Strong SQL skills; you write complex queries without a template
• Strong experience with Python for data analysis and modeling
• Working knowledge of credit risk concepts: scorecards, vintage analysis, delinquency curves, loss forecasting
• Ability to communicate analytical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred

• Experience in subprime consumer lending, fintech, payments, or another regulated financial services technology environment.
• Familiarity with credit decisioning, underwriting strategy, or fraud detection
• Experience working in a regulated financial services environment
• Exposure to A/B testing, experimentation frameworks, or champion/challenger strategies

Benefits & Perks

Compensation at Braviant is competitive and commensurate with experience. Details will be discussed with qualified candidates during the interview process. In addition, we provide:

• Comprehensive healthcare including medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Generous paid time off, including PTO, sick time, and 13 company holidays
• 401(k) with company contribution
• Participation in annual discretionary bonus plan
• Regular team and company gatherings
