Risk and Reporting Analyst

About Unlock

Unlock’s mission is to unleash the power of home equity to enrich people’s lives. We do this through a financial solution called a Home Equity Agreement or HEA, an entirely new way to access and utilize home equity. We’re not a lender, so there are no interest charges or monthly payments and homeowners with poor credit or high levels of debt can still qualify. We're beyond passionate about helping our customers build greater financial resiliency. We are mission driven, consumer centric and our products are designed for the way homeowners want to live their lives today - with flexibility and control.

About The Role

We are building out our Credit Risk Management (CRM) framework and are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Risk and Reporting Analyst (RRA) to support these efforts, driving risk-related reporting and analyses across the organization. This is a unique opportunity for someone passionate about credit risk to play a critical role in shaping our risk management capabilities.

As an RRA, you will be responsible for supporting the development of robust risk management frameworks, with a primary focus on credit risk and reporting. You will work closely with risk leadership to create and maintain reporting tools, track risk metrics, and analyze portfolio performance.

What You'll Do

• Credit Risk Reporting: Develop and maintain detailed reports on credit risk exposures, portfolio performance, key risk indicators (KRI’s), and other metrics for internal stakeholders and senior management
• Data Analysis & Visualization: Perform in-depth data analysis to support the identification of emerging risks, trends, and areas of improvement within the credit risk and ERM functions; utilize tools such as SQL, Excel, and visualization software (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)
• Risk Metrics Development: Collaborate with the risk management team to define and refine key risk metrics, risk appetite frameworks, and thresholds for monitoring the organization’s risk profile
• Support Model Development: Assist in the development and validation of credit risk models, ensuring that they are aligned with regulatory requirements and industry best practices
• Regulatory Compliance Support: Ensure that risk reporting adheres to relevant regulations and supports internal compliance and audit requirements
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with product, finance, and operations teams to ensure alignment on risk management processes and reporting
• Risk Assessment: Help identify areas of risk exposure and provide recommendations for risk mitigation strategies; contribute to the periodic risk assessment process across CRM
• Governance: Prepare Credit Risk Committee materials and support the Director of Credit Risk in providing experienced credit risk perspective and input
