Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo’s success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.

The Role


As a Senior Analyst, Credit Risk, you will be the critical link between our business objectives and our technical execution, ensuring that we support Neo's growth within the established risk appetite. You will dive deep into the data that powers our lending decisions, working to optimize our risk strategies and systems, creating insights and looking for opportunities to solidly expand our portfolio. This role is perfect for a data-driven problem-solver who thrives on translating complex business needs into actionable insights and technical requirements that protect both our customers and the company.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Data Science, Engineering, Product, Operations, and other Credit Risk and Fraud functions to deliver on credit risk initiatives.
  • Translate business requirements into clear, concise technical specifications and user stories for our technical teams.
  • Perform in-depth data analysis using SQL to identify trends, patterns, and insights related to credit performance and risk.
  • Develop and maintain documentation, including process flows, business requirements documents, and system diagrams.
  • Support the development, testing, and implementation of new credit risk strategies, models, and underwriting rules.
  • Monitor and report on key risk metrics through dashboards, helping the team understand performance and identify areas for improvement.

Who we are looking for:

  • 2+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, preferably in the financial services or fintech industry.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL for data querying, manipulation, and analysis is a must (Python knowledge is a plus) .
  • Proven experience working with BI and data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, PowerBI).
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen ability to break down complex problems into manageable components.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • A strong understanding of credit risk concepts and methodologies is a significant asset.
  • Experience working in an agile development environment is a plus.
