About Us
At OatFi, we’re building the complete API infrastructure for B2B payment platforms to embed and monetize working capital solutions. We’re dedicated to enhancing financial access for SMBs, and supporting the ongoing paradigm shift happening in B2B payments.
By leveraging OatFi’s API, platform partners empower commercial end-users with the tools needed to collapse their cashflow conversion cycles, supporting organic growth while shepherding billions in offline payments volume online.
We are a fast-growing company offering an opportunity for the right candidate to join at the ground floor. At OatFi, you will have the chance to shape the future of fintech and make a significant impact from day one.
What we're looking for
Credit risk management is our core business. As a Director of Credit Risk at OatFi, you will be at the heart of what we do every day. You won’t have to fight for resources with other product categories or hope that your leadership understands the importance of credit risk management. From our investors to our C-suite, we have decades of experience building lending businesses and know what it takes to succeed.
We have established the core structures and capabilities to put you immediately in the driver’s seat of credit analysis and decision-making. A broad set of data, numerous existing partnerships, dedicated engineering resources, and the ability to deploy new automated decisions in minutes will empower you to make an immediate impact. You’ll also receive support and coaching from our experienced leadership team to maximize your current skills while continuing to grow in your expertise.
Despite the existing structure and support, this role is very much an opportunity to be a founding member of the OatFi risk team. We are not simply deploying what exists elsewhere, but creating new approaches to define the future of our business and the industry. In this role, you will have visibility into dozens of B2B fintech companies, provide direction on how to build successful credit products, and help discover or create winning strategies across the industry. There is much more to build and learn as we develop and scale the best credit capabilities in the industry.

Bring industry-leading practices in sound risk management, new data sources, and AI tools to life within OatFi
