Company Mission

Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great brands to reach their growth potential.

About Wayflyer

Today's consumer brands need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our unique technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours.

Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $5bn to thousands of brands worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan. We've become a trusted financing partner for some amazing brands, like True Classic, Little Words Project and Kekoa Foods.

Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross‑functional. You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world - all striving to deliver on a huge opportunity. Check out this video to hear directly from them.

Your Role at a Glance:

The key ways you'll bring value to the team

• Own and drive the portfolio intelligence that shapes how Wayflyer manages portfolio performance and risk. You’ll connect credit data, commercial outcomes, and market trends to help leadership make smarter, faster, and more profitable credit decisions.
• Lead portfolio monitoring and performance reviews, turning insights into actionable recommendations that influence underwriting standards, pricing, and exposure management.
• Develop and maintain the monthly portfolio reporting pack for senior leadership, bringing clarity on trends, concentrations, early signals, and performance against plan.
• Build dashboards, KPIs, and Early Warning Systems (EWS) that go beyond tracking, enabling proactive management of emerging risks and opportunities.
• Work closely with Revenue, Underwriting, Decision Science, and Finance to align credit and commercial objectives, ensuring growth is achieved within risk appetite and funding constraints.
• Continuously learn from portfolio performance and credit losses, feeding insights back into policy, underwriting, and product design to strengthen future outcomes.
• Champion a culture of data‑driven, evidence‑based portfolio steering, making credit strategy an enabler of Wayflyer’s growth.

• Strong proficiency in BI tools (Looker, Omni, Power BI, Tableau) and ability to collaborate effectively with Data and Engineering teams.
• Experience analysing loss performance and using those insights to refine underwriting, policy, or pricing frameworks.
• Strategic mindset with comfort presenting insights and recommendations to senior leadership.
• High attention to accuracy and detail, with strong storytelling skills, able to turn data into a narrative that drives action.
