Senior Credit Risk Analyst

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Kaliba Full time

What if you had the opportunity to
design a national credit framework from first principles -
not inherit one?

This is a rare, foundational role for a senior credit professional who wants to
own the architecture
, not just optimise at the margins.

We are supporting a
well-capitalised, institutionally backed lending platform
entering the Australian market with a proven international playbook and significant funding capacity. The mandate is clear: take a highly successful offshore credit model and
re-engineer it for Australia -
policy, scorecards, decisioning, and performance monitoring - end to end.

You will operate as the
technical authority for credit
, reporting directly into executive leadership, with genuine autonomy and visibility.

Why this role is different?

  • You are not inheriting legacy systems or constrained policies
  • You will
    build the Australian credit box from the ground up
  • You will influence real capital deployment decisions, not just analytics
  • You will work with leadership who understand credit risk and expect rigor

If you have ever been frustrated by slow governance, incremental change, or being too far from decision-making - this role is the opposite.

What you will own

Credit Policy & Framework Design

  • Translate a large-scale, proven international underwriting approach into an Australian-specific credit policy.
  • Define credit box parameters, exceptions, approval hierarchies, and governance
  • Ensure alignment with Australian regulatory and bureau environments

Scorecard & Decisioning Architecture

  • Personally design and build proprietary credit scorecards using Australian bureau data
  • Develop segmentation and risk-based pricing logic
  • Implement champion / challenger and ongoing performance refinement

Portfolio Analytics & Monitoring

  • Establish vintage tracking, loss monitoring, and early-warning frameworks
  • Build SQL-driven analytics to continuously optimise policy and performance

Senior Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as the credit subject-matter expert for leadership and capital partners
  • Present insights, recommendations, and performance outcomes with confidence

Who this is for

You are likely someone who:

  • Has 5
    + years in consumer credit risk
    within a major bank or leading fintech
  • Has
    personally built scorecards
    (not just validated or monitored them)
  • Is fluent in
    SQL
    and comfortable working directly with data
  • Understands Australian credit bureaus, CCR, and responsible lending obligations
  • Has worked in environments where
    frameworks had to be built, not inherited
  • Thinks commercially as well as technically

Experience across personal loans, auto, equipment, or adjacent secured lending products is highly regarded, as is exposure to non-prime or alternative lending.

The upside

  • Competitive senior-level compensation with performance linkage.
  • Equity participation for exceptional candidates.
  • Direct access to leadership and strategic influence.
  • A genuine
    ground-floor build
    with scale behind it.

This is a career-defining role for someone who wants to
leave a fingerprint on a national credit platform
.
