The Work
We're seeking a Risk Analyst with a sharp eye for investigating entities and transactions, strong data analysis skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset. You'll help shape our risk strategy and processes while collaborating closely with partners, compliance, legal, ops, engineering, and product teams to support customers, reduce risk, and build smarter systems.
In this role, you will:
Own and execute company reviews, payroll monitoring, and related processes with precision and clear communication across teams, partners, and customers.
Analyze data to spot and act on emerging risk signals for companies and payrolls.
Build and maintain risk policies and processes, training teammates and partners as needed.
Partner with Product & Engineering to improve risk tools, processes, and systems.
Escalate potential fraud incidents, document insights, and drive resolutions with cross-functional teams.
Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have some or all of the following:
Have 3 - 5 years of experience in risk and fraud investigation or similar fintech analytics role
Eager to find risk patterns in Check data and third-party data
Comfortable building, using, and manipulating queries in SQL for data analysis
Have worked at a fast-paced, data-driven tech company
Excellent time management and prioritization
Have strong communication skills
Must be located in Central or Eastern Time Zones and available to work between 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET
Are detailed-oriented and capable of managing a process from start to finish
Are eager to help develop new processes and iterate on existing ones
Enjoy working with members from across the organization and with customers
Ability to attend our annual 3-day company offsite in the spring
We build best when we come together on level ground.
Travel and Office Policy
The Check team is distributed across the US, and we have offices in New York City and San Francisco. While we embrace remote work, time together in person is where we do our best work. We offer ample opportunities and encourage employees to attend team offsites, events, and hackathons a couple of times a year! We expect all employees to attend our annual 3-day company retreat in the fall.
For our in-office and hybrid employees, our offices are open all week. We provide meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the team hosts regular happy hours, game nights, etc.
What we offer:
For full-time employees, Check offers company-sponsored medical, dental, vision, short-term/long-term disability, and basic life insurance coverage, effective on their first day of work. We also provide stock options, flexible PTO and sick leave, 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents, flexible return-to-work, 9 annual holidays, a 401k retirement plan, and a $100 monthly stipend for home internet and mobile phone expenses.
The actual annual salary for this role depends on each candidate’s experience, qualifications, and work location. Most new hires are placed near the midpoint of this range to ensure fairness with our existing team's compensation.
The expected range in San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, and Seattle is between $110,200 and $121,220.
The expected range for all other locations is between $93,670 and $103,037.
