Credit Risk Expert This role in one line You'll live in the data — SQL, Python, models, and strategy — turning portfolio signals into decisions that directly shape how Clara grows and manages risk across Latin America. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. The impact here comes from your own hands and your own thinking, not from managing others. If that excites you, keep reading. What you'll do You'll be deep in the data every single day. This means writing complex queries, building and maintaining credit risk models, and turning portfolio signals into concrete strategies — all by yourself, not through a team. * Write and maintain SQL and Python code daily to analyze portfolio behavior, delinquency trends, vintage curves, roll rates, and risk concentrations * Support the built, validation and recalibration of credit risk models: PD, LGD, EAD, and ECL * Own the Credit Risk MIS end to end — you build it, you maintain it, you improve it * Design and execute credit line management strategies (CLI/CLD campaigns, proactive limit reviews, exposure optimization) — from the data pull to the recommendation * Develop credit strategies and decision frameworks that feed directly into automated lending decisions * Use AI tools and workflow automation to improve how risk processes run — you'll be expected to experiment and build, not just observe * Translate your own analysis into clear insights for senior leadership * Ensure compliance with provisioning standards and model governance frameworks Who you are Must haves * Academic background in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field * Proven hands-on experience in portfolio-level credit risk: PD, LGD, EAD, ECL, vintage analysis, roll rates * You write SQL and Python (or R) every day — this is non-negotiable * Experience designing credit line management strategies: CLI/CLD campaigns, limit reviews, exposure control * Strong data visualization skills * Experience in Latin American credit markets * English fluency * You love operating and being strategic at the same time Nice to haves * Experience in fintech or high-growth environments * Exposure to credit card and payments ecosystems * Familiarity with Latin American regulatory frameworks for provisioning * Hands-on experience with AI tools: workflow automation (e.g. n8n), AI agents, or chatbots applied to risk processes * Experience supporting financial audits > Important: This role is 100% focused on portfolio-level credit risk and quantitative modeling. Profiles from product management, capital markets, liquidity risk, or individual credit underwriting (case-by-case) do not meet the requirements.

This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team. We don't enforce a minimum number of days for most roles, but you're expected to spend time at the office organically, and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
