Commercial Credit Risk Underwriter

Toronto, ON, Canada

Job Description


Company Description

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn\'t work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions - to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we\'ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We\'re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.



We are looking for a Credit Risk Underwriter to help manage chargeback risk for some of the largest sellers processing on Square. They will work with our Account Management team to provide a seamless seller experience ensuring appropriate risk assessment and controls. They have commercial credit underwriting skills, and take joy in scouring financial statements to understand a company\'s business model, key risks, and mitigating factors. Additionally, they will help partners navigate the risk experience. Lastly, they will take every opportunity to improve our operations and the collective team experience.

  • Proactively identify ways to improve our underwriting and operations; and collaborate to build strategic programs
  • Share insights and expertise with the team; promote accountability for team-level and individual results
