The Risk Management Team manages risks specific to the businesses operated by Merpay, which provides payment and credit services within the Mercari Group, as well as enterprise-wide integrated risk management (ERM). As Merpay expands into new financial services that have not existed before, the team is expected to build on traditional risk management methods while thinking flexibly and adapting to changing circumstances, and to develop and implement new approaches to risk management that suit Merpay. Let’s work together to question precedents and past assumptions, and create risk management that enables bold challenges. You will be responsible for planning and developing third-party risk management, establishing governance frameworks, policies, and procedures for outsourcing, designing and conducting risk assessments and due diligence for third parties, operating monitoring processes before outsourcing begins and throughout the contract period, driving responses to incidents or deficiencies caused by third parties, and other risk management-related duties. You will be expected to help bring new services that support Merpay’s rapid, transformative growth to market quickly, with appropriate risk controls in place. As the business evolves, the risk management framework must also be continually updated, requiring the ability to anticipate the future and think flexibly without being constrained by precedent. You can apply your knowledge of traditional risk management while taking on the challenge of developing new approaches and frameworks for managing risks across Merpay’s diverse business areas.
