Job summary

DRIVEN – Career Navigation System is seeking a skilled Credit Risk/ML professional to help rebuild the risk function for the AI era. You will shape how models and human judgment co-exist, architect governance, and design risk strategies that scale with automation.

You will evaluate model outputs, establish decision protocols, and work across finance and product to ensure rigorous, defensible outcomes. The role blends quantitative rigor with practical governance.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years in credit risk, quantitative risk, or risk analytics within financial services (banking, fintech, or lending)
• Demonstrated experience building or validating ML models in a credit or risk context – not just using them
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL; hands-on experience in modern data warehousing environments
• Proven ability to translate complex quantitative analysis into clear recommendations for non-technical stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Design and build the governance framework for ML models – accuracy, bias, regulatory defensibility, escalation protocols
• Bring the human judgment no model can replace – and build it into how the function operates
• Build risk strategies designed to improve as AI tooling matures – feedback loops, validation cadences, human checkpoints
• Establish how risk intelligence becomes business decisions – the protocols that connect model outputs to action
• Design the safeguards in from the start – bias, failure modes, regulatory exposure – during the build, not after
• Be the human anchor in a function being redesigned around AI – ensuring accountability and strategic value scale with automation
