We value teamwork, clarity of purpose, and rigorous attention to data to drive action. We balance speed and excellence to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
Role Overview:
As Director of Risk Management, you will lead credit strategy and portfolio performance oversight across ClarityPay's Pay Over Time lending solutions. You'll own the design and execution of scalable, data-driven risk frameworks that fuel growth while protecting our capital.
You'll collaborate cross-functionally with Data, Product, and Revenue teams to strengthen our underwriting, exposure, fraud, and repayment strategies-balancing innovation with rigor and compliance. This is a senior, high-impact role well-suited for a strategic thinker with deep credit risk experience in fintech or lending.
In this role, you will...

  • Experience building and managing credit policies and decisioning for installment loans or revolving credit
  • Proficiency in SQL and data analytics; familiarity with Python or business intelligence tools a plus
  • Familiarity with Data science model development life cycle.
  • Proven ability to translate data into strategic decisions and communicate clearly with exec stakeholders
  • Familiarity with U.S. consumer credit regulations (FCRA, ECOA, UDAAP, etc.)

Bonus Points:
  • Experience launching and scaling credit programs at early-stage fintechs
  • Direct experience with BNPL, embedded finance, or POS lending
  • Background in regulatory exam readiness or second-line governance
  • Prior leadership or team management experience

What We Offer:
  • Competitive compensation and equity package

  • Collaborative, fast-paced team with strong product and growth orientation
  • Opportunities to grow, lead, and shape the future of consumer finance
  • 401(k) program

Role Details:
