About the Role:
As a Risk Data Analyst, you will sit at the intersection of data science and financial risk, helping us identify, quantify, and mitigate risk across our merchant portfolio, payment channels, and partner ecosystem. You'll work closely with underwriting, compliance, fraud operations, and product teams to surface insights that protect the business and enable growth.
This is a high-impact role for someone who is analytically rigorous, naturally curious, and comfortable translating complex data into clear, actionable recommendations.
Responsibilities:
- Analyze transaction, merchant, and portfolio data to identify risk trends, anomalies, and emerging exposures across credit, fraud, and operational risk categories.
- Create recurring and ad hoc reports using SQL Server, Snowflake, Excel, Periscope, Tableau, and other business intelligence tools.
- Build and maintain dashboards, models, and reports that give risk stakeholders real-time visibility into key risk indicators (KRIs), chargeback rates, merchant health scores, and portfolio concentration.
- Develop and refine recommendations for improvements in merchant underwriting, onboarding, and ongoing monitoring.
- Support chargeback and dispute analysis — identifying root causes, tracking trends by various dimensions (like MCC, processor, and/or partner), and recommending remediation strategies.
- Conduct portfolio segmentation analysis to identify high-risk merchant segments and inform risk appetite decisions.
- Automate recurring risk reporting and data workflows to reduce manual effort and improve turnaround time.
- Collaborate with product, engineering and data teams to ensure risk data pipelines are accurate, complete, and timely.
- Assist in regulatory and audit-related data requests, ensuring documentation is thorough and defensible.
- Stay current on payment industry risk trends, regulatory developments, and evolving fraud typologies.
- Ability to present data and findings to management.
What Success Looks Like:
- Proactive Risk Detection: Identify anomalous transactions, emerging fraud trends, and credit or operational exposures early through robust portfolio segmentation and risk data analysis.
- Actionable Dashboarding: Build and maintain Tableau, Periscope, or Snowflake dashboards that provide stakeholders with real-time visibility into key risk indicators (KRIs), chargeback rates, and merchant health.
- Optimized Underwriting & Monitoring: Drive continuous improvements in merchant onboarding, underwriting guidelines, and ongoing portfolio monitoring through data-backed recommendations.
- Effective Dispute Remediation: Identify the root causes of chargebacks and disputes across MCCs, processors, or partners, and implement highly targeted remediation strategies.
- Workflow Automation: Design and automate critical data workflows and risk reporting schedules to minimize manual work and optimize reporting turnaround times.
- Collaborative Data Governance: Maintain strong partnerships with product, engineering, and data teams to ensure risk pipelines are built on accurate, high-integrity data.
- Audit & Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all regulatory and audit-related data requests are supported by thorough, defensible, and easily accessible documentation.
- Strategic Communication: Translate complex data trends and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance shifts into clear, actionable presentations for executive management.
Candidate Requirements:
Required:
- 2–5 years of experience in risk analytics, fraud analytics, financial data analysis, or a related field within payments, fintech, banking, or commerce.
- Proficiency in SQL Server or Snowflake for querying large transactional datasets; experience with Python or R is a strong plus.
- Demonstrated experience building dashboards and visualizations in tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar.
- Solid understanding of payment risk concepts — chargebacks, disputes, fraud typologies, merchant underwriting, and credit risk.
- Strong analytical thinking: able to frame ambiguous problems, develop hypotheses, and validate findings with data.
- Excellent communication skills — able to present complex findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- High attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy and integrity.
- Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
Preferred:
- Experience at a payments processor, acquiring-bank, ISO, or fintech.
- Familiarity with card network rules (Visa, Mastercard) as they relate to chargeback thresholds and dispute management.
- Exposure to AML, KYC, or BSA compliance data analysis.
- Experience with rules engines applied to fraud or credit risk scoring.
- Knowledge of regulatory frameworks such as PCI-DSS, Regulation E, or NACHA rules.
- Master’s degree in a related field.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Risk Data Analyst
Document your quantitative credentials thoroughly
Gather transcripts, degree certificates, and official translations before outreach. PERM requires your employer to prove your qualifications match the job's minimum requirements, so gaps between your listed credentials and the posted role can stall certification.
Target firms with active PERM filing history
Financial institutions, insurance carriers, and consulting firms that regularly file PERM applications for data and analytics roles are far more likely to sponsor than companies encountering the process for the first time. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for employers with green card sponsorship history in quantitative roles.
Align your job title with DOL wage classifications
Risk Data Analyst maps to specific Standard Occupational Classification codes that determine your prevailing wage level under PERM. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check which wage tier applies in your target metro area before negotiating an offer.
Clarify sponsorship intent before accepting an offer
Ask directly during the offer stage whether the employer will cover PERM filing and I-140 petition costs, and whether they use outside counsel. Some firms sponsor but pass legal fees to employees, which affects your actual cost and timeline expectations.
Understand how your priority date affects wait times
EB-3 sponsorship has no annual cap on petitions, but visa number availability depends on your country of birth. Indian and Chinese nationals face multi-year backlogs in EB-3 even after I-140 approval, so factor your priority date into long-term planning.
Use O*NET to build a stronger specialty occupation case
The O*NET occupation profile for risk analysts details the degree requirements and specialized knowledge USCIS evaluates when assessing whether a role qualifies for EB-2. Mapping your actual duties to O*NET's task and skills taxonomy strengthens your employer's petition.
Green Card Risk Data Analyst: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Risk Data Analyst role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Risk Data Analyst positions qualify for EB-3 as skilled workers, requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a quantitative field like statistics, mathematics, or computer science. Roles requiring a master's degree or equivalent specialized experience in advanced risk modeling or quantitative finance may support an EB-2 petition. Your employer's job description and your actual credentials determine which category applies.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa requiring annual renewal and subject to a lottery, while PERM sponsorship leads to permanent residency with no recurring lottery risk. The PERM process requires your employer to conduct a federally supervised recruitment campaign proving no qualified U.S. worker is available. Once your I-140 is approved, your priority date is locked regardless of employer or job changes within the same occupational category.
How long does the PERM and green card process take for a Risk Data Analyst?
PERM labor certification currently takes 12 to 18 months at DOL, followed by USCIS processing of the I-140 immigrant petition, which runs 6 to 12 months for standard processing. After I-140 approval, visa availability depends on your country of birth. Applicants from countries without significant backlogs, such as Australia or the UK, can often adjust status within two to three years of starting PERM.
Where can I find Risk Data Analyst jobs that already offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Risk Data Analyst roles at employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you're not guessing about a company's willingness to sponsor. Filtering by sponsorship track record saves significant time compared to applying broadly and raising the topic cold during interviews.
Can I switch employers after my employer files PERM for a Risk Data Analyst position?
You can change employers after your I-140 has been approved for at least 180 days, as long as your new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification under AC21 portability rules. The new employer doesn't need to restart PERM, but your new role must be substantially similar in duties and qualifications to the one on the approved petition.
