About the Role:

We are looking for a seasoned professional to own and scale our Purchase Financing / B2B BNPL product - a credit offering that sits between an Anchor Partner (supplier/OEM/distributor) and its Buyer (borrower/dealer/retailer/SME). This role requires someone who deeply understands the tripartite dynamic of anchor-led lending: the anchors business interest in enabling sales, the buyers working capital need, and the lenders risk exposure - and can structure programs that align all three. This is a build-and-scale mandate: launching new anchor programs end-to-end, negotiating commercial and risk terms with strategic partners, and then managing the portfolio through its lifecycle to healthy, profitable growth. Key Responsibilities

1. Anchor Partnership Origination Program Launch - Identify, pitch, and onboard anchor partners (manufacturers, distributors, large B2B platforms) for purchase financing / SCF programs. - Structure end-to-end program design: eligibility criteria, credit limits, tenure, pricing, anchor obligations (buyback/first-loss/data sharing), and buyer onboarding journey. - Lead contractual commercial negotiations with anchor partners - pricing, risk-sharing constructs (FLDG,etc), and SLAs. - Drive cross-functional program launches with credit, risk, tech, legal, compliance, and operations teams.

2.



Product Customer Understanding - Deep understanding of buyer (borrower) personas across categories - retailers, dealers, distributors, small manufacturers - and their cash flow cycles. - Understand the nuances of anchor-buyer commercial relationships (credit period, discounts, return/replacement norms) and how these interact with the financing structure. - Distinguish between anchor-backed (recourse) and open-market (non-recourse) purchase financing models and their risk implications.

3. Risk Policy Credit Underwriting - Working with the Credit Risk team for policy design for Borrower Anchor underwriting basis anchor-linked data (trade history, GST, bank statements, bureau, anchor sales data) while driving alignment on scorecards, cut-offs, and portfolio segmentation.

4. Unit Economics Portfolio PL - Own the unit economics of each anchor program - yield, cost of funds, credit cost, opex, and contribution margin. - Build and defend business cases for recent anchor programs to internal risk teams. - Track program-level and portfolio-level profitability; course-correct pricing or risk parameters as needed.

5. Stakeholder Strategic Partner Management - Serve as the primary relationship owner for anchor partners post-launch - reviews, escalations, renewals, and expansion. - Manage internal stakeholders (Risk, Credit, Legal, Tech, Ops, Finance, Compliance) to keep programs running smoothly.



- Represent the business in senior anchor partner conversations (CXO/business head level) for renewals and cross-sell.

6. Portfolio Growth Monitoring - Drive disbursement growth across live anchor programs through funnel optimization (buyer activation, limit utilization, repeat usage). - Identify expansion opportunities - new anchor categories, geographies, or buyer segments within existing anchors. - Own portfolio health reporting - utilization rates, active buyer base, delinquency, anchor-wise concentration risk.
