The role

We are hiring a Senior Risk Analyst to own a material credit-strategy workstream within FairMoney’s Android lending portfolio in Nigeria.

This is not a monitoring-only or reporting-only role. It is a hands-on, P&L-impacting credit strategy and succession role.

Job Responsibilities

Workstream economics and planning

  • Own the end-to-end performance of your assigned Android workstream
  • Build a prioritised strategy and delivery roadmap aligned to the Android annual business plan
  • Own the relevant workstream assumptions, monthly forecast and corrective actions
  • Review budget-versus-actual performance and explain material variances
  • Manage the relevant approval, disbursal, exposure, revenue, risk-adjusted Gross Profit, ECL, FPD, roll-rate, PAR, NPL, customer-value and recoverability metrics
  • Identify material risk, economic leakage and profitable growth opportunities
  • Quantify expected impact, implementation requirements, dependencies and downside risks

Credit strategy and experimentation

Depending on your mandate, you may design and improve:

  • Eligibility, requalification and rejected-customer re-entry
  • PD cut-offs and calibration
  • Offers, exposure limits, pricing and tenure
  • DTI, affordability and income-source treatment
  • Top-Up and Consolidation eligibility
  • Repeat-customer growth and customer-lifecycle strategy
  • High-risk treatments and policy overlays
  • Customer routing and graduation logic

Production implementation and controls

  • Translate recommendations into decision-engine rules, parameters and implementation requirements
  • Work directly with SQL, analytical code and decision logic where needed
  • Define replay, back-testing, validation and testing requirements
  • Review implementation logic for unintended policy or model interactions
  • Define staged rollout, monitoring and rollback plans
  • Monitor strategies after release and take corrective action where performance differs from expectation
  • Maintain clear documentation, policy versioning and decision traceability

Cross-functional delivery and governance

You will work closely with the Android portfolio leadership team, Decision Science, Engineering, Product, Growth, Finance, Portfolio Economics, Collections, Fraud, Compliance, Legal, Operations and Customer Service.

  • Write clear analytical and implementation briefs
  • Define owners, milestones and expected economic impact
  • Manage dependencies actively and escalate blockers with options
  • Operate within agreed risk appetite, budgets and delegated authority
  • Scale, pause, modify or roll back controlled strategies within your mandate
  • Escalate decisions outside authority or with material legal, regulatory or customer-conduct implications

Senior individual-contributor leadership and succession

  • Be the recognised owner of your assigned workstream
  • Set its roadmap, forecast, scorecard and operating cadence
  • Review peer analysis and improve analytical and implementation standards
  • Mentor other analysts where required
  • Document critical policy, model and decision-engine knowledge
  • Reduce key-person dependency
  • Represent your workstream in senior forums
  • Deputise for the Lead Risk Manager, Portfolio Owner or designated workstream lead when required
  • Build the judgement and breadth required to progress into broader portfolio ownership

Requirements

  • 4–7+ years in consumer credit risk, credit strategy, lending analytics or portfolio management
  • Strong experience in digital unsecured lending, consumer finance, credit cards, overdrafts, BNPL or a related environment
  • Evidence of owning a material credit-strategy workstream through analysis, implementation and monitoring
  • Strong understanding of PD, LGD, EAD, vintages, roll rates, FPD, PAR, NPL, ECL, pricing, offers, tenure, exposure and NPV
  • Strong SQL capability and comfort with Python, R or equivalent analytical tooling
  • Experience translating credit strategy into decision-engine requirements or production rules
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-moving and ambiguous environment

Benefits

  • 25 days paid vacation, Sick & Public Holidays to B2B contractors.
  • Remote (timezone must have significant overlap with CET).
  • Training & Development budget.
  • Paid company business trips

Recruitment Process

  • A screening interview with one of the members of the Talent Acquisition team.
  • Business Case Study
  • Technical interview with Global Head of Android Lending

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
