THE OPPORTUNITY
We are hiring a Credit Data Science Specialist in our Financial Solutions (New Initiatives) area in Brazil!
This is a Remote – Brazil position, meaning you can work from anywhere within the country. Please note that this role is only open to candidates in Brazil.

- Financial Performance Reporting: Design real-time dashboards to track critical KPIs such as First Payment Default (FPD), Provision for Doubtful Accounts (PDD), and the effectiveness of debt renegotiations.
