The Mission

We’re looking for an experienced Credit Risk Decision Analyst to help us shape and scale our credit strategy and portfolio performance across markets.

You’ll go far beyond monitoring – taking ownership of the design and optimization of end-to-end decisioning frameworks that drive smart growth and protect portfolio health, striking the right balance between risk mitigation and business expansion across our BNPL product suite.

Your work will have a direct impact on business performance, helping us strike the right balance between customer experience and credit quality.

You’ll collaborate across Product, Data, Engineering, and Legal to create scalable, data-driven strategies that enable responsible lending, unlock opportunities, and support our expansion into new products and markets.

Key Responsibilities :

• Drive implementation and monitoring of credit risk decision strategies across the entire customer lifecycle.
• Monitor and report on portfolio performance, identifying drivers of loss and mitigation actions.
• Run initiatives to reduce credit losses while enabling sustainable growth, including strategy testing (A / B testing, champion / challenger) and optimization to continuously improve strategies.
• Collaborate with Product, Data, and Tech teams to ensure credit policies and risk mitigation practices are embedded in all new features and launches.
• Build and maintain robust data pipelines, dashboards, and performance reports to inform business decisions.
• Serve as a key voice in defining risk appetite and credit policies across markets.
• Contribute to broader risk governance, compliance, and regulatory reporting processes.
• Refine risk models, decision logics, and scoring rules using internal and external data.

Who We're Looking For :

Must Have :

• 2+ years of experience in risk management, preferably within credit risk for fintech or consumer lending (BNPL experience is a plus).
• Proficient in SQL and Python for data analysis, modeling, and process automation.
• Skilled in designing and maintaining insightful dashboards and reporting tools to support decision-making and performance tracking.
• Ability to turn complex data into actionable strategy with measurable business impact.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken) and a collaborative, fast-paced working style.

Nice to Have :

• BNPL or short-term credit experience.
• Experience launching risk strategies across multiple countries.
• Familiarity with credit bureau data, alternative data sources, and regulatory environments.

Why you should join Scalapay :

• A competitive package based on your experience and impact.
• A high-growth environment with real ownership and autonomy.
• The opportunity to help shape the credit engine behind one of Europe’s most exciting fintechs.
• Work with smart, driven people on meaningful challenges across Product, Data, and Tech.
• Learn from experienced leaders and grow your career.
• Access to the latest technologies, flexible working, and a strong focus on personal development.

Recruitment Process :

• A quick chat with one of our Talent Acquisition team members.
• A first interview with the hiring manager to deep dive into your experiences and better understand your motivation.
• A case study to test your hard skills, that will be debriefed with a panel of future internal stakeholders including our Chief Risk Officer.
• A final chat with Simone (our CEO) to assess your motivation and cultural fit.

Super Pro tip : we know that application processes can be scary and frustrating but… we look for talent, not people that tick all our boxes.

We believe in the power of diversity : Scalapay is an Equal Opportunity Employer for any minority, disability, gender identity or sexual orientation.
