TL;DR · Strategy & Operations, Risk

Strategy & Operations, Risk is a senior role within the Risk team focused on protecting users while enabling durable growth. You will serve as a strategist-operator who identifies emerging risks, prioritizes interventions, and delivers measurable outcomes by connecting business signals with product performance. Day-to-day responsibilities include defining key metrics for risk outcomes, leading deep-dive "surge" efforts to resolve critical issues, translating long-horizon company goals into actionable operating plans, and synthesizing complex data into decision-oriented materials for senior leadership. You will collaborate across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Finance, and Operations teams to pressure-test assumptions against market dynamics. The role requires expertise in product strategy, business operations, and data analytics to solve problems within the financial infrastructure space. Preferred technical skills include proficiency in SQL, Python, or R to perform independent deep-dives into complex datasets.

What you'll do

  • Define and maintain key metrics for risk performance, business impact, and operational health.
  • Create a curated "morning read" to surface emerging issues and drive timely actions.
  • Lead deep-dive interventions to diagnose root causes and unblock critical goals at risk.
  • Translate long-horizon company strategies into actionable in-year priorities and structured workstreams.
  • Synthesize complex, unstructured risk signals into decision-oriented materials for senior leadership.
  • Pressure-test business plans against market dynamics, user needs, and internal execution capacity.
  • Identify gaps in product and strategy plans to ensure alignment with risk outcomes and user experience.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of experience in product strategy, business operations, data analytics, product management, or strategic business performance roles.
  • Experience in product strategy, product management, or GM-style roles with direct ownership of a P&L or specific business outcome.
  • Proven track record of driving business growth through analytical insights and execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply AI to improve decision-making and operational efficiency while maintaining rigor.
  • Strong product sense and the ability to understand technical mechanics of how software products are built and scaled.
  • Experience navigating ambiguous, cross-functional problems and leading high-stakes interventions with senior stakeholders.
  • Experience facilitating senior leadership and stakeholder discussions that lead to clear decisions and action on business performance.
  • Experience in risk, payments, financial services, or fintech (preferred); technical proficiency in SQL, Python, or R (preferred).
