About Orion Digital

Orion Digital is a publicly listed company (NASDAQ & TSX) building a multi-engine financial platform spanning lending, payments (Carta), and wealth (Intelligent Investing).

AI is being incorporated as an enabling layer across the platform, supporting more real-time, data-driven decisioning across products.

About the Role

As Director, Credit Risk Modeling & Analytics, you will build and operate the systems that power credit decisioning.

• Builder mindset with a focus on systems, not just models
• Strong attention to detail and ownership of implementation quality
• Interest in applying decisioning frameworks beyond lending over time
• Strong communication across technical and business stakeholders
• Comfort operating in a lean, high-accountability environment
