About the Role:
We are looking for a data-driven Credit Risk Manager to build the analytical backbone of Real Wallet Capital - our dynamic line of credit for real estate agents.
This is not a maintenance role; it is a build role. You will be the primary owner of credit analytics, responsible for translating raw data into risk policies, pricing strategies, and loss forecasting models. You will help us scale a safe, innovative, high-growth lending business from the ground up.
If you are an AI, SQL, and Python-native analyst who loves credit strategy, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to shape the future of financial products for real estate agents, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Do:
Build the Risk Engine: Develop and own the analytical framework for credit risk, including underwriting models, loss forecasting, and credit policy definition using SQL and Python.
Monitor Portfolio Health: construct comprehensive dashboards (Sigma, Looker, or similar) to track repayment behavior, vintage performance, delinquency roll rates, and unit economics.
Drive Strategy & Optimization: Analyze product performance to recommend data-backed changes to product designs that maximize funding availability while protecting downside.
Lead New Product Analysis: Conduct deep-dive assessments on market segments and risk profiles to help design and launch future financial products for real estate agents.
Automate & Innovate: Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate code generation and insight discovery, moving our risk processes from manual reviews to automated decisioning.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner closely with Product, Finance, and Operations leadership to translate complex risk data into clear, actionable business strategies.
What You’ll Bring:
Technical Fluency: Strong proficiency in SQL and Python is required; you must be comfortable querying raw data and building your own analytical models.
Credit Domain Expertise: A solid grasp of credit risk principles for SMB or consumer lending, including repayment modeling, vintage analysis, and concentration risk.
Visualization Skills: Experience building dashboards and analytical tools using platforms like Sigma, Looker, Tableau, or Metabase.
High-Leverage Toolkit: Ability to utilize AI tools to dramatically increase speed and output quality in a lean environment.
0 to 1 Mindset: You thrive in ambiguity and are energized by building processes from scratch rather than just managing existing ones.
Clear Communication: Exceptional ability to simplify complex quantitative findings into clear written and verbal narratives for executive stakeholders.
Education & Experience:
Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative or analytical field (e.g., Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or Computer Science).
3+ years of experience in credit risk, analytics, fintech lending, specialty finance, or adjacent fields.
Experience in a high-growth startup or fintech environment is a strong plus.
