Graduate Credit Analyst at Wayflyer in Charlotte, North Carolina

Job description

• Application
• About Wayflyer
• The challenge
• Wayflyer's growth depends on knowing exactly who we can fund and how much risk that carries. This role exists to dig into the data behind every customer, business and financial, and turn it into decisions that let us fund eCommerce growth responsibly.
• What this role could turn into
• This is a launchpad, not a lane. Past analysts in this seat have moved into Senior Credit Risk Analyst roles, crossed into Portfolio Management, and built careers in Commercial or Strategic Finance as Wayflyer's risk function has scaled.
• Who thrives here
• Someone insatiably curious about how businesses actually work, not just their numbers. You ask questions because you need the real answer, not because you're expected to. You think founder-first, you're comfortable presenting your own conclusions in a room, and you're ambitious enough to want to prove it fast.

Responsibilities

• Discover the story behind the data - analyse financial and non-financial data on new and existing customers to understand how their business really works
• Assess and quantify risk - learn to evaluate the challenges of running an eCommerce business and how Wayflyer can fund that growth responsibly
• Connect with customers directly - join regular calls to deepen our understanding of their business models, funding needs, and future plans
• Collaborate with management to build and implement new processes and products
• Support sales and operations by understanding how they win and manage customer relationships
• Learn our existing loan portfolio and portfolio management tools, including when to exit risky relationships
• Collaborate across Wayflyer - partner with teams across the business to connect dots, share insights, and drive impact

Requirements

• We hire for range
• You don't need years of experience, you need trajectory. A strong academic record in Business, Finance, Economics, Engineering, Law or Computer Science (completed or near completion) is your starting point. From there, what matters is how quickly you pick things up: comfort with financial reporting, an instinct for data (Excel or SQL is a plus), and momentum toward a professional finance or accounting qualification if that's your path.
