What is this role about?🚀

As a Risk Data Analyst at Bondora, you’ll work in our Credit area Data Science team, helping turn models into reliable, real-world risk decisions. You’ll support the rollout, validation, and ongoing monitoring of scoring and categorization models across our markets.

Working closely with Data Scientists, you’ll ensure risk rules and portfolio strategies stay effective, well-governed, and aligned with our risk appetite, while contributing through feature analysis, data preparation, and clear documentation. 💡

What you'll be doing:

• Investigate and document the value of existing features (e.g., insurance spend, education investments) and produce data-driven feature research reports.
• Collaborate on and execute strategy rollouts for new scoring models, including historical inference, pricing/economic model impact, and portfolio balance allocation per risk grade.
• Collaborate with Data Science to align rollout strategy with Country Risk Managers, challenge assumptions, and ensure actions align with the company’s risk appetite.
• Perform drift and stability analyses for both scoring and categorization models, define acceptance thresholds, and document results for auditability.
• Analyze and validate Categorix model performance and feedback loops, ensuring category-level drift stays within business tolerance.
• Build and maintain reference datasets that enrich DS feature engineering (e.g., education providers, insurer mapping, sector datasets).
• Review and challenge risk rules and portfolio strategies, running impact simulations and identifying optimization opportunities.
• Maintain structured documentation and dashboards, ensuring all analyses, validations, and rollouts are traceable and aligned with compliance and governance standards.

What would ensure success in this role?💪

• Strong analytical and quantitative background, ideally in econometrics, risk analytics, or credit portfolio management.
• High proficiency in SQL and intermediate-level Python/R.
• Understanding of credit scoring models, risk segmentation, and portfolio management concepts.
• Familiarity with model monitoring (PSI, drift, cut-off stability, approval/rejection analysis).
• Experience in building and maintaining analytical dashboards (Tableau, Power BI, or similar).
• Strong documentation and communication skills for translating analytical findings into business actions.
• Awareness of economic and financial modeling principles used in pricing, affordability, and balance allocation.
