About KOHO
We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.
At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.

Description de poste en français
KOHO est à la recherche d’un·e Directeur·trice, Risque financier, pour piloter la stratégie et les analyses au sein de notre fonction de gestion du risque financier. Dans ce rôle clé, tu vas superviser à la fois le risque de crédit et le risque financier hors crédit (incluant le risque de marché et de liquidité).

En collaboration avec les équipes Produit, Finance, Technologie et Données, tu vas diriger une équipe d’expert·es en risque financier pour développer et mettre en place des cadres analytiques qui guident nos décisions de risque et assurent notre conformité réglementaire. En plus de jouer le rôle d’expert·e en risque financier dans le développement de modèles de risque et de valorisation, tu auras la responsabilité de bout en bout des métriques d’appétit pour le risque et des prévisions de pertes, de la provision IFRS 9 et du suivi de portefeuille. Tu offriras aussi un « challenge constructif » et un cadre de gouvernance décisionnelle à travers l’organisation.
Ce que tu feras
Voici à quoi va ressembler ton quotidien.
Diriger et développer l’équipe
Gérer et coacher une équipe performante de gestionnaires et de contributeur·trices individuel·les dans tous les domaines du risque financier.
Ancrer une culture d’analyse rigoureuse, de responsabilisation et d’amélioration continue.
Gouvernance et supervision du risque financier
Gouvernance décisionnelle : Mettre en place et maintenir des cadres de gouvernance décisionnelle robustes pour les décisions d’affaires qui ont un impact sur le risque financier, en veillant à ce qu’elles soient alignées sur l’appétit pour le risque de KOHO.
Challenge constructif : Offrir un « challenge constructif » sur les décisions qui touchent le risque financier. Par exemple, sur le développement et le suivi de performance des modèles par les équipes Tech/Data Science, sur les intrants liés au risque financier pour les tests de résistance fournis par les équipes de première ligne (les équipes opérationnelles), ou encore sur les nouveaux produits ou initiatives marketing proposés par l’équipe Produit.
Appétit pour le risque : Superviser et recommander les cadres de mesure et d’évaluation de notre appétit pour le risque financier. Diriger le processus d’approbation de cet appétit pour le risque par la haute direction et le conseil d’administration. Piloter le développement, la définition et le suivi des métriques associées.
Politiques : Diriger la gouvernance des politiques de risque financier, y compris la politique de crédit, pour l’ensemble des portefeuilles produits. Suivre les tendances et les changements de comportement, puis utiliser ces constats pour recommander et mettre en œuvre des ajustements immédiats, comme le resserrement des limites de crédit.
Gestion du risque de modèle : Assurer la supervision de deuxième ligne des modèles utilisés pour les décisions qui ont un impact sur le risque financier.
Stratégie et analytique en risque financier
Prévisions et provisionnement : Superviser les prévisions de défaut et de pertes à court et à long terme. Diriger le calcul de la Perte de crédit attendue (ECL), les tests de résistance et le provisionnement, en stricte conformité avec la norme IFRS 9.
Risque de marché et de liquidité : Collaborer avec les équipes Finance et Trésorerie pour développer et exécuter des cadres de prévision du risque de marché et de liquidité. Mettre en place le suivi et la production de rapports sur les risques financiers.
Tests de résistance : Diriger le processus de tests de résistance pour le risque financier, y compris la méthodologie et la sélection des scénarios. Offrir un challenge constructif aux équipes de première ligne qui créent les intrants liés au risque financier pour ces tests. Par exemple, challenger les équipes Finance sur les méthodologies et les prévisions liées au risque de liquidité et au risque de marché.
Suivi de portefeuille : Piloter la surveillance du risque de portefeuille, la production de rapports et la génération d’analyses utiles pour repérer rapidement les tendances, les risques et les opportunités qui se pointent. Identifier et mener des initiatives d’automatisation de la détection d’anomalies en s’appuyant sur des outils et techniques de pointe.
Gestion des données : Agir comme principal·e responsable des données liées au risque financier. Ça veut dire : identifier et/ou définir de nouvelles sources et de nouveaux éléments de données pour les décisions liées au risque, identifier et documenter les éléments de données critiques, travailler avec les équipes Données et Technologie pour documenter tout le métadata associé (incluant la lignée de données), et s’assurer de la qualité, de l’intégrité et de la disponibilité des données pour la prise de décision.
Collaboration interfonctionnelle
Travailler en étroite collaboration avec l’équipe Finance sur la planification du capital, le provisionnement et les prévisions. Collaborer avec Finance sur la conception, l’exécution et la supervision de programmes complets de tests de résistance pour les risques financiers, afin d’assurer que KOHO est prête en cas de choc défavorable.
Collaborer avec la Gestion de produit pour intégrer les analyses de risque dans le développement de nouveaux produits et l’optimisation des fonctionnalités.
Travailler avec l’équipe Marketing pour évaluer l’impact des initiatives marketing sur le risque financier.

Ce que tu apportes
Expérience et formation
10+ années d’expérience en gestion du risque financier, avec une forte exposition au risque de crédit de détail et/ou à la trésorerie et à la gestion du risque financier.
Leadership : Expérience avérée en gestion de gestionnaires et en direction d’équipes analytiques performantes. Tu n’as pas peur de poser les vraies questions et de challenger le statu quo quand il le faut.
Formation : Baccalauréat ou maîtrise dans un domaine quantitatif (p. ex. mathématiques, statistiques, économie, finance, génie) ou expérience pratique équivalente.
Compétences et aptitudes
Expertise technique : Excellente maîtrise de la norme IFRS 9, des méthodologies ECL et des cadres de tests de résistance. Bonne connaissance des principes de risque de marché et de liquidité.
Esprit analytique : Solides compétences en analyse et en résolution de problèmes, avec la capacité de transformer des données complexes en insights stratégiques actionnables pour l’entreprise.
Communication : Capacité à expliquer des concepts de risque complexes à des parties prenantes non techniques et à la haute direction, de façon claire et concrète.
Collaboration : Un esprit de « bâtisseur·euse » — tu t’épanouis dans des environnements interfonctionnels et tu sais influencer efficacement tes pairs en Produit, Finance et Tech. Tu aimes bâtir et structurer, pas juste suivre un cadre déjà tout fait.
Rémunération
L’échelle salariale prévue pour ce poste est de 180 000 $ à 240 000 $ CAD par année.
Chez KOHO, on s’engage à offrir une transparence salariale à tous les candidat·es.
