Description

  • Collaborate with Risk Business Partners and stakeholders to develop Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and metrics to measure first-line control performance and estimate residual risk across Block brands.
  • Size opportunities and identify levers to reduce risk or bad activity as measured by KRIs and inform the strategic direction of the Risk organization.
  • Design and implement alerting systems and anomaly detection to detect risk regressions and emerging threats.
  • Create metrics and visualizations that quantify relative risks, surface priorities, and identify opportunities for action.
  • Partner with product teams during experimentation, rollout, and post-launch phases to measure and monitor potential product risks.
  • Develop experimentable risk metrics and proxy measurements to streamline risk evaluation during product launches and experiments.
  • Implement non-experimental causal analyses (pre/post, synthetic control, regression discontinuity) when experiments are not possible to estimate changes in risk.
  • Work with stakeholders to quantify potential risks of new features and provide data-driven recommendations and tradeoff analysis.
  • Analyze and build visualizations for externally shared data and support partner risk monitoring through data analysis and monitoring frameworks.
  • Scope analytics projects with First Line Risk Monitoring leads and independently deliver analyses and presentations to senior and non-technical audiences.

Requirements

  • Minimum 5+ years of post-graduate industry experience in product data science roles; Fintech and/or trust & safety experience is a plus.
  • Bachelor’s degree required in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or related quantitative field; Master’s degree or PhD preferred in a quantitative discipline (or BA/BS with significant demonstrable advanced data science experience).
  • Demonstrated experience building metrics, dashboards, and monitoring systems in fast-paced environments.
  • Proven track record partnering with cross-functional teams and strong stakeholder management with ability to influence without authority.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and present findings to senior audiences.
  • Proactive, self-starting mindset with ability to independently scope and deliver analytics projects.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, including writing clean, organized, testable code and contributing to data pipelines or front-ends.
  • Solid understanding of probability and statistics, including A/B test design and evaluation, standard error calculations, statistical inference, and anomaly detection methods.
  • Experience with Python visualization libraries (e.g., matplotlib, plotly), version control systems (git), and data warehousing platforms (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery).
  • Experience leveraging LLMs and prompt engineering to accelerate development or analyze non-quantitative data (preferred).
