Senior B2B Payment Risk Operations Specialist

Job Description:

• Responsible for B2B merchant risk operations and credit evaluation, focusing on risks across merchant onboarding, transaction limits, fund exposure, and settlement processes. Through merchant profiling, transaction behavior monitoring, and risk reviews, identify typical risk issues in high-amount, high-frequency, or highly concentrated transaction scenarios, and propose practical and actionable risk and credit optimization solutions.

Risk Review / Credit Evaluation

• Conduct comprehensive assessments of merchant qualifications, business models, fund flows, and risk-bearing capacity for prospective and existing B2B merchants. Perform professional reviews and judgments on high-amount transactions or limit adjustment requests.

Risk Analysis & Investigation

• Proficiently utilize risk and operations analytics tools to identify and conduct in-depth analysis of B2B merchant risk events and abnormal transactions. Reconstruct abnormal trading behaviors and fund flow paths to accurately restore the full risk chain, identify core merchant-level risk characteristics, and propose targeted limit management, risk control strategies, or merchant exit mechanisms.

Monitoring & Early Warning

• Continuously monitor B2B merchant transaction volumes, limit utilization, risk indicators, and strategy effectiveness. Participate in the development of merchant risk and credit early-warning mechanisms, proactively identify potential credit deterioration or risk amplification signals, and improve merchant risk identification and control efficiency through coordination between risk operations and strategy deployment.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Business, Sales, Product, Engineering, Legal, and Compliance teams to systematically translate B2B merchant risk and credit management requirements into merchant lifecycle management, limit management, and settlement processes, jointly ensuring the stable and sustainable development of B2B business operations.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in risk management, credit evaluation, or risk operations, preferably within financial services, fintech, or consulting.
• Experience in B2B merchant risk management, credit evaluation, limit management, or high-amount transaction risk control is strongly preferred.

Skills:

Risk & Credit Expertise

• Strong understanding of B2B merchant risk and credit evaluation frameworks, including merchant onboarding, limit assessment, and lifecycle management.
• Familiarity with common merchant-side risk scenarios, such as high-amount transaction risk, fund concentration risk, settlement risk, chargeback risk, and refund risk.
• Capable of translating merchant risk assessments into actionable credit limits, risk rules, or merchant exit strategies, and validating their effectiveness through continuous monitoring.
