• Review and assess investor contracts to identify material risk exposures, flag gaps against risk appetite
• Own contract enforcement activity - tracking obligations (standard and non-standard), identifying breaches, and coordinating remediation plans with relevant stakeholders
• Act as the primary risk point of contact for the Marketplace business unit, ensuring risks are identified, escalated, managed, and closed in a timely manner
• Represent the business unit during internal and external audits, supporting risk owners with documentation, evidence, and root cause analysis
• Maintain policies, procedures, and standards relevant to Marketplace risk, working with appropriate committees for review and approval as necessary
• Deliver regular reporting to Marketplace leadership on open risk issues, action plan status, and contract compliance posture
• Identify opportunities to improve risk monitoring workflows, including the use of AI tools where appropriate, to increase accuracy, coverage, and efficiency
• Look for opportunities to use AI tools to improve how you research, track, and organize risk-related work - and share what works with the team

• 2+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, or a related field within financial services
• Hands-on experience with contract review and risk assessment - proficient in reading agreements, identifying where exposure lives, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies
• Working familiarity with financial products and regulatory expectations in a lending or marketplace environment
• You take ownership of your work and follow issues through to resolution - you don't hand things off and assume they're handled
• You communicate clearly across levels - equally comfortable in a conversation with a business unit lead, or a regulator
• You actively look for ways AI can improve your work - from accelerating analysis to thinking through problems from a different angle - and you're thoughtful about accuracy and data sensitivity when doing so
• You're organized and detail-oriented, and you take tracking and documentation seriously rather than treating it as overhead
