Job Overview

Head of Financial Data Intelligence & Risk Analytics

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Strategic Overview

This role operates at the intersection of data science, financial risk, and regulatory intelligence. As Head of Financial Data Intelligence, you will lead the transformation of raw financial data into predictive insights that inform lending, compliance, fraud mitigation, and macroeconomic positioning.

You are not just analyzing data—you are engineering decision-making systems that redefine how financial risk is understood and managed.


Mission Scope

Your primary objective is to establish a unified financial intelligence framework that integrates:

  • Behavioral transaction analytics
  • Credit risk modeling
  • Fraud detection algorithms
  • Regulatory reporting intelligence

Key Responsibilities

Data Architecture & Intelligence Systems

  • Design large-scale data pipelines capable of ingesting structured and unstructured financial data
  • Build real-time analytics platforms for transaction monitoring and risk scoring
  • Develop unified data models across lending, payments, and customer behavior

Advanced Risk Modeling

  • Lead the creation of predictive credit scoring models using machine learning techniques
  • Develop probabilistic models for fraud detection and anomaly identification
  • Implement stress-testing frameworks aligned with macroeconomic indicators

AI-Driven Decision Systems

  • Deploy machine learning models for automated underwriting and risk segmentation
  • Integrate explainable AI frameworks for transparency in financial decisions
  • Optimize models for bias mitigation and fairness in lending outcomes

Regulatory Intelligence

  • Translate regulatory requirements into data-driven compliance systems
  • Automate reporting workflows for audit, risk, and governance frameworks
  • Build dashboards for real-time regulatory visibility and intervention

Candidate Profile

  • 12+ years in fintech, financial analytics, or quantitative risk management
  • Expertise in machine learning, statistical modeling, and big data ecosystems
  • Strong command of Python, R, and distributed data platforms (Spark, Hadoop)
  • Deep understanding of credit risk, fraud analytics, and regulatory compliance systems
  • Proven leadership experience managing cross-functional data science teams

Why This Role Stands Out

This position places you at the core of financial intelligence transformation, where data becomes the most strategic asset driving profitability, compliance, and innovation.
