Experienced Customer Risk Strategy Professional – Fintech and Banking Innovation
At arenaflex, we're revolutionizing the financial services space by simplifying and fixing the complex banking supply chain. We're a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. We're looking for an all-around business athlete to join our Customer Risk Strategy team and help drive continuous improvements across our existing operations.
About arenaflex
arenaflex is a high-growth fintech company that's changing the way financial services are delivered. We're founded by industry experts who have spent their careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, SoFi, Blend, and Affirm. We've seen firsthand the challenges of building financial technology and transforming the financial services space. Our mission is to simplify and fix the complex banking supply chain, making it safer, more transparent, and less costly for builders and developers.
The Opportunity
We're seeking a highly strategic, operational, and product-oriented professional to join our Customer Risk Strategy team. As a Customer Risk Strategy Professional, you'll play a critical role in helping arenaflex deepen its relationships with its fintech partners by effectively managing our forward-thinking, strategic, and highly efficient risk programs. This is a unique entry point into the world of risk at a high-growth fintech company, where you'll gain skills and experience that few others can offer.
Key Responsibilities
As a Customer Risk Strategy Professional, you'll be responsible for:
- Managing oversight of arenaflex's Fintech Partners, ensuring effective ongoing oversight processes by reviewing key program metrics to identify trends, outliers, or key risk indicators that require further investigation.
- Supporting evaluation of partnership expansions, working closely with internal SMEs to evaluate and document key risk and compliance considerations.
- Designing and implementing new processes to maintain a growth mindset and help members of the arenaflex risk and compliance organization identify and develop potential process improvements as the partnership activities continue to expand.
- Driving development of key metrics and reporting, working closely with the arenaflex senior leadership team on developing new metrics and providing periodic reporting on arenaflex's partnership activities to executive management and the Board of Directors.
What You'll Need to Be Successful
To be successful in this role, you'll need:
- 2-3 years of experience in a high-growth environment, including management consulting, financial regulatory agency, financial services, and/or fintech company.
- Ability to jump into new situations, with a willingness to learn quickly and help solve problems.
- Hyper-organized approach to project management, including coordinating efforts across multiple teams; comfort juggling multiple projects and priorities is critical.
- Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude - we thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business.
- Attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
- Familiarity with the banking and fintech industries is preferred, but not required - an interest in becoming an expert in finance, risk, compliance, and technology, however, is a must.
- Excitement about working in a fast-paced, deeply cross-functional space.
