I would then assess liquidity, leverage, revenue stability, dispute trends, and potential fraud or compliance signals before recommending an exposure limit and any monitoring requirements. What indicators would cause you to escalate a merchant for enhanced review? I would escalate material inconsistencies in submitted documents, weak or deteriorating financial performance, unusually high chargeback rates, adverse media, sanctions or compliance concerns, abrupt processing-volume changes, or ownership and identity-verification issues. I would document the evidence, quantify the potential exposure, and engage the appropriate Legal, Compliance, Fraud, or senior risk stakeholders. How do you balance commercial growth goals with prudent merchant-risk controls? I focus on transparent, data-supported decisions rather than viewing risk and growth as opposing goals. When risk is manageable, I may recommend conditional approval, lower initial exposure, reserve requirements, or enhanced monitoring so the business can proceed while protecting the portfolio. Describe how you would use chargeback and dispute data in ongoing merchant monitoring. I would establish baseline rates by merchant segment and monitor trends in dispute volume, dispute reason codes, refund behavior, transaction velocity, and processing volumes. Significant deviations would prompt a targeted review to determine whether the cause is operational, fraud-related, financial, or compliance-related and whether controls or exposure limits should change. Give an example of an automation opportunity in merchant risk evaluation. A useful opportunity is automating intake and risk triage by integrating credit-bureau, processor, identity, and adverse-media data into a standardized scorecard. This can route straightforward low-risk cases for fast decisions while flagging exceptions, missing data, and high-risk patterns for analyst review, improving consistency and turnaround time. At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most. As a Merchant Risk Analyst, you will assess financial risk related to credit, fraud and identity associated with the merchants. You will also coordinate with cross-functional partners to assess non-financial risk – brand, reputational, legal and compliance risk. The ideal candidate will have knowledge or experience in e-commerce underwriting and/or commercial lending. They will also have a solid understanding of evaluating merchant financial risk based on 3rd party data, credit reports, and other merchant attributes. Prior work experience in payments, lending, banking or financial institutions is a plus! What you’ll do * Assess brand, compliance, fraud and financial risk and determine credit exposure risk on new and existing merchants * Use business credit reports, financial documents, investigative research tools, and financial market data to conduct risk assessment of Affirm’s merchants * Investigate and use new sources of third party data to assess merchant financial risk * Conduct ongoing monitoring of credit, fraud, and dispute/chargeback trends by merchants * Business Improvement In Execution: Leverage your knowledge to provide guidance towards the automation/improvements of merchant risk evaluation What we look for * 3+ years of experience in assessing merchant risk in a function such as Merchant/Seller Risk Management, Fraud, Collections, or Merchant Underwriting * Experience working with cross functional partners across the organization, especially Sales and Business Development teams * Experience reviewing financial documents, business credit reports and payment processor statements * Ownership mentality: Demonstrate an appropriate sense of accountability, ownership, urgency and execution ### Compensation & Benefits Base Pay Grade – G Equity Grade – 3 Employees new to Affirm typically come in at the start of the pay range.
