We are looking for a hands-on person with solid credit knowledge to join the Credit and Collections team. More than a purely technical profile, we need someone curious, who wants to understand how the business works and support it with data, information, and insights.

• Live the mission: inspire and empower others by genuinely caring for your own wellbeing and your colleagues. Bring wellbeing to the forefront of work, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves, taking time off, and finding work-life wellness.

WHO YOU ARE

• Quantitative Education: Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Engineering, Economics, Mathematics, or Computer Science.

• Data Science & AI Proficiency: Experience in Python, applying regression and classification algorithms to financial forecasting, combined with an openness to working with a variety of AI tools to drive efficiency gains in data analysis and KPI generation.

• Credit Risk Environment: Knowledge of credit lifecycles, including FPD (First Payment Default), Vintages, and SCR/Serasa data analysis.

• Statistical Modeling: Proven ability to manage complex calculations, in addition to predictive modeling using statistical and machine learning concepts.

• Collection & Recovery Strategy: Experience building propensity-to-pay models and conducting financial feasibility analysis for judicial versus extrajudicial collection.
