About the Role
ย 
Versapay is scaling its B2B payments platform and preparing for future embedded lendingย capabilities. We're hiring a Director to lead the day-to-day merchant boarding, underwriting, andย risk operations functions, with an initial focus on improving speed, quality, consistency, andย control across payments onboarding. This is a hands-on operator role: you'll modernize how we
onboard and underwrite merchants - applying automation, analytics, and practical AI-enabledย workflows to create a frictionless experience for low-risk customers while maintaining rigorousย controls for higher-risk segments.ย 
ย 
You will own daily execution of boarding, underwriting, exception management, and ongoing merchant risk monitoring, while partnering with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, Sales, and sponsor bank stakeholders to evolve policies, workflows, vendor integrations, andย reporting. As Versapay's lending ambitions mature, you will help translate payments and ARย data into practical underwriting inputs and operating controls.
ย 
A key opportunity in this role is Versapay's unique data position. Our AR automation platformย provides visibility into invoice-level activity, DSO trends, payer behavior, and customerย concentration. You will help operationalize that data into better boarding, underwriting, andย monitoring practices - first for payments risk and, over time, for embedded lending use cases.
What you'll do
Boarding & Underwriting Operations
Lead a team of underwriters, risk analysts, and boarding specialists supporting bothย payments (PayFac/ISO) and lending applications.
Redesign the boarding journey to be AI-first - straight-through approval for clean files,ย intelligent triage for exceptions, human review only where it adds judgment.
Help define and operationalize risk appetite, credit policy, exposure limits, and approvalย guardrails across merchant segments, escalating exceptions through the appropriateย leadership and governance forums.
Support the operating rhythm for risk governance, including exception review, delegatedย authority workflows, escalation thresholds, and monthly reporting for senior leadershipย and sponsor bank partners.
ย 
Modern Decisioning Stack
Partner with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and vendors to improve the technologyย stack for KYB/KYC, business verification, beneficial ownership, sanctions/PEPย screening, fraud, bank/transaction data, and decision orchestration.
Implement practical automation and AI-assisted document review for commonย underwriting materials, ensuring outputs are reviewable, auditable, and integrated intoย human decision workflows.
Maintain clear controls around automated decisions, including decision logicย documentation, override tracking, quality assurance, and periodic performance review.
ย 
Lending Underwriting
Contribute to the buildout of the underwriting operating model for future embeddedย lending products, including application intake, policy translation, documentationย requirements, line assignment inputs, and exception handling.
Partner with Finance on portfolio performance, loss forecasting, vintage analysis, andย reserve modeling.
Partner with Finance and leadership to ensure underwriting practices, pricing inputs, andย monitoring routines are aligned with the economics and risk profile of any future lendingย program.
Establish servicing-side risk controls: early-warning triggers, collections strategy, andย loss mitigation.

Portfolio Risk & Monitoring
Own ongoing merchant monitoring, including transaction surveillance, chargeback andย return analytics, behavioral anomaly detection, fraud indicators, ACH-return trends, andย early signs of credit deterioration.
Build dashboards and exposure reporting for executive and sponsor bank review.
Lead reaction protocols for high-severity events (fraud rings, processor errors, fundingย disputes, NSFs, breaches of merchant agreement).
ย 
Compliance, Sponsor Bank & Network Relationships
Ensure boarding and underwriting comply with NACHA, BSA/AML, OFAC, card brandย rules, state lending laws, and sponsor bank requirements.
Support consistent boarding, underwriting, and monitoring standards across U.S. andย Canadian operations, partnering with Compliance on applicable jurisdictionalย requirements.
Serve as a key operational contact with sponsor banks and processors on underwritingย and risk matters, including audits, exception requests, file reviews, and policy alignment.
Partner with Compliance and Legal on policy approvals, regulatory exam readiness, andย audit response.
ย 
Leadership
Build, coach, and scale a high-performing team across underwriting, boarding ops, riskย analytics, and portfolio monitoring.
Translate risk strategy into measurable SLAs and KPIs (time-to-decision, approval rate,ย fraud bps, loss rate, NPS for boarded merchants).
What We're Looking For
Required
8+ years of relevant experience in payments risk, merchant underwriting, boardingย operations, credit risk, or financial services operations, with at least 3+ years leadingย teams or major operational workstreams.
Deep knowledge of merchant underwriting: KYB/KYC, beneficial ownership, financialย statement review, exposure modelling, MCC/industry risk, chargeback economics.
Proven track record modernizing legacy boarding processes - implementing automatedย decisioning, vendor orchestration, and straight-through processing.
Hands-on familiarity with modern risk and verification vendors (KYB/KYC, fraud, bankย data aggregators, accounting connectors, decision orchestration platforms).
Working knowledge of card brand rules, NACHA, BSA/AML, OFAC, and sponsor bankย operating requirements.
Experience operating in major card processor and sponsor bank environments.
Strong analytical chops - fluent in SQL, comfortable with portfolio data, can interrogateย model outputs and challenge analyst conclusions.
Ability to use alternative data signals - such as AR/invoice data, payer behaviour,accounting-system data, or transaction flows - to improve underwriting, monitoring, orย exception review processes.
Pragmatic approach to automation and AI - able to identify use cases that improveย speed and accuracy while maintaining auditable decisions and appropriate humanย oversight.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain underwriting decisions, operationalย tradeoffs, risk trends, and exceptions to senior stakeholders.
ย 
Preferred
Prior lending exposure preferred, particularly in small business lending, workingย capital, MCA, factoring, term loans, or embedded finance; direct credit policy ownershipย is a plus but not required.
Experience supporting the launch or operational scaling of a lending, credit, orย embedded-finance product inside a payments, fintech, or B2B software company.
Familiarity with AI/ML risk decisioning platforms (e.g., Sift, Sardine, Feedzai, Zest,ย Taktile, Oscilar, Unit21, Sentilink) and LLM-based document review tooling.
Background in B2B / accounts receivable payments, embedded finance, or verticalย SaaS.
Exposure to model risk management frameworks (SR 11-7 or equivalent).
Experience navigating sponsor bank audits and regulatory exams.
Working understanding of lending economics, including credit facilities, covenants,ย advance rates, cost of capital, and how those inputs influence underwriting policy andย pricing.
Experience operating across multiple jurisdictions, including U.S. and Canadianย payments or lending requirements; EU exposure is a plus.
What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)
  • AI-augmented document review live in underwriting workflow with measured accuracyย and override tracking.
  • Boarding and underwriting workflows redesigned with measurable reductions in decision
    time, clearer exception routing, improved SLA visibility, and increased straight-throughย processing for clean files.
  • Risk governance cadence operating effectively with documented policies, decisionย authority, exception tracking, and monthly reporting for senior leadership and sponsorย bank partners.
  • Versapay's proprietary AR/invoice data incorporated into underwriting and monitoringย workflows, with early evidence of improved decision quality, faster reviews, or better riskย segmentation.
  • ย Unified risk dashboard covering payments and lending exposure available to executives and sponsor bank partners.
  • Fraud, loss, chargeback/return, and exception trends remain within agreed risk appetite,ย with clear escalation paths and sponsor bank relationships in good standing.
$140,000 - $160,000 a year
