About the job
About Us
At Passage, we envision a world where one's birthplace does not hinder the pursuit of dreams. We serve as more than just a financial support bridge; we connect families globally to transformative opportunities. Our commitment is to a future where talented students can chase their aspirations, regardless of their parents' financial situation.
Our mission is clear and ambitious: by 2030, we aim to break down the obstacles that prevent bright minds from accessing the opportunities they rightfully deserve. Starting with financial hurdles, we are providing loans to international students and refugees, enabling them to seek superior education in Canada and opening doors not only for themselves but also for their families and generations to come.
Note: We uphold an in-office working policy, and candidates must either reside in Toronto or be willing to relocate, committing to a five-day work week in the office.
Your Role
We are in search of a Credit Strategy Analyst to enhance and manage the operational engine that drives our growth. This role is not confined to back-office tasks; it offers a front-row seat to witness how strategy is transformed into execution. You will navigate operational workflows one day and engage in cross-functional brainstorming the next. Your responsibilities will include analyzing, optimizing, and developing systems to scale our mission and impact.
If you are early in your career, eager to grow rapidly, and motivated by solving complex problems with a practical approach, this role is for you. We are looking for someone who excels in fast-paced environments, takes initiative, and desires substantial ownership—quickly. This is your opportunity to contribute to something impactful from the ground up, with a clear trajectory for growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and Optimize Core Workflows: Manage operational processes such as loan application processing, underwriting, due diligence, and servicing, ensuring systems are audit-ready, precise, and consistently updated.
- Build Scalable Tools and Systems: Develop and enhance SOPs, dashboards, and internal tools to streamline workflows and boost team productivity while identifying operational bottlenecks and driving continuous improvements.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with teams across credit, finance, and operations to align strategies and enhance overall efficiency.
