4.557/2017, and related standards.
You’ll help us identify, assess, and mitigate operational risks across the company — with a strong focus on fraud management, technology risk, and AI-driven automation.
Working cross-functionally with Data Science, Fraud Prevention, and Engineering, you’ll design, validate, and automate models and processes that strengthen resilience and make CloudWalk even smarter.
If you’re passionate about blending data, risk, and automation to make operations safer and more efficient, this role is for you.

Identify, assess, and monitor operational risk exposures, especially in fraud and IT-related processes.
Develop and validate AI/ML models for fraud detection, anomaly identification, and operational risk quantification.
Build and maintain AI agents to automate operational risk workflows — such as loss event tracking, KRI monitoring, and incident reporting.
Establish and monitor Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs) for ongoing risk tracking.
Collaborate with Data Science, Engineering, and Compliance teams to embed risk controls into product and process design.
Conduct scenario analyses and stress tests to evaluate operational resilience and inform management decisions.
Prepare clear and insightful risk reports and dashboards for senior management and regulatory audiences.

Programming and data analysis proficiency (Python, SQL, R) for scenario simulation, model validation, and automation.
Ability to design and deploy AI agents to automate risk management workflows.
Knowledge of IT and cybersecurity risk frameworks (NIST, COBIT, ISO 27001) and integration into operational risk practices.
Experience managing KRIs, RCSAs, and risk dashboards for management and regulatory reporting.
Soft skills:
Analytical and critical thinker with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
Hands-on and execution-oriented, capable of independently implementing and iterating solutions quickly.
Automation-driven mindset, always seeking ways to streamline processes using AI and technology.
Strong communication and storytelling, simplifying complex analyses for technical and non-technical audiences.
