Would you like to be part of creating a unicorn within a unicorn? Solve some of the biggest challenges facing financial inclusion of Bharat? Well, then here's your chance!
Financial Services (FS) is one of the biggest new bets we are taking at Meesho on the next 10x horizon opportunity for us. Just as Ant Financial did for Alibaba, and Mercado Pago did for Mercado Libre, our vision is to build financial services for Meesho, becoming our key growth and revenue driver.
We have found our Product-Market Fit, built and proved 0-1 and 1-10 journeys. Now looking for someone who can be the founding member of a 10-100-1000 journey, and this is possibly one of the most exciting and enriching experiences one could consider in their career.
The work
Meesho FS runs two lines of business: SME Lending, which offers Business Loans, and User Lending, which offers BNPL and Personal Loans (PL).
User Lending is now our primary focus in this phase of our FS journey. We have 274Mn ATU, and risk management is at the core of building any sustainable credit business at scale - our being a captive audience means both Growth and Risk are an outcome of underwriting, which is owned by the Risk team.
Herein also lies one of our biggest challenges: how do we assess the risk of borrowers without any credit history or income data? How can we leverage alternative information to better profile borrowers? How can we leverage our platform uniquely to create a sustained competitive advantage?
This person will be responsible for driving the analytics behind these questions for User Lending - creating analytical frameworks, developing high quality analysis, driving insights and actions, and recommending policy decisions, across a well-established BNPL portfolio and a Personal Loans portfolio that is still scaling.
The work
Owning the risk for one or more segments of the portfolio while maintaining a healthy growth.
Analyzing credit policies using Meesho platform data, bureau data, SMS data, and other alternate data.
Creating policies, scorecards and models (Application Score, B-Score, Collection Scores) for BNPL and PL.
Designing experiments to test cohort behaviour, experimental policies, and new opportunities for growth.
Identifying pockets of risk within the portfolio that don't make sense, and identifying leading indicators / EWS.
Automating reporting and tracking of the portfolio at multiple levels - Ops performance measures, key performance indicators, and their drivers.
Refining credit policies based on data and creating new policies for unexplored segments, including building day-1 policies for Personal Loans as the product scales.
Configuring and testing rules in the real-time Business Rule Engine (BRE), and working with the Bureau Feature Store to define new underwriting features.
From Meesho's own careers system (Lever).
