Original job description

Jeeves is a groundbreaking financial operating system built for global businesses that provides corporate cards, cross-border payments, and spend management software within one unified platform. The company operates across 20+ countries including Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, across Europe, and the United States, and serves over 5,000 clients ranging from venture-backed startups to SMBs around the world. With a mission to empower businesses with more efficient and cost-effective financial solutions worldwide, Jeeves combines cutting-edge financial technology with exceptional team expertise to transform the business financial landscape. Jeeves has been recognized as one of The Information's 50 Most Promising Startups in 2023, as well as a Y Combinator Top Company 2021-2023 and won “Fintech of the Year" at the European Fintech Awards.
Since graduating from Y Combinator in 2020, Jeeves has successfully raised over $380 million and is backed by top world-class investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, CRV, Tencent, Stanford University, Clocktower Ventures, and founders of more than 15 unicorns including David Velez (Nubank), Carlos Garcia (Kavak) and Sebastián Mejía (Rappi).

Brazil is one of Jeeves's fastest-growing markets, and the number of companies applying for our corporate cards there keeps climbing. Every one of those applications needs a thoughtful credit decision, and every approved account needs to be watched over time. Today that work sits largely with one senior underwriter. We're adding an Underwriter to the team so we can keep decisions fast and sound as volume grows, and so the Brazil book is never dependent on a single person.

Alongside traditional credit analysis, our underwriters work closely with AI tools that help organize borrower data, draft parts of the analysis and surface questions worth asking. The judgment and the final call stay with you. We're continually moving more of our workflow onto AI, and you'll be part of shaping how that happens. If you're excited by the idea of building the next version of underwriting while practicing the fundamentals, this role is for you.

You'll work side by side with our senior underwriter in Brazil, analyzing new applications from startups and SMBs, preparing credit recommendations, and helping monitor the existing portfolio for early signs of stress. You'll learn how our scoring models work and when judgment needs to go beyond the model, and you'll build the kind of context on the book that lets you cover confidently when your teammate is out. You'll also work closely with our Sales and Account Management teams in Brazil, who rely on clear, timely answers.

This is a hands-on analyst role with real ownership of a growing share of the queue. You won't hold final approval authority on day one — you'll earn more of it as you build judgment and a track record — and there's a clear path to growing into a senior underwriting role as Brazil scales.

Location: This role is based out of São Paulo and is a full-time hybrid position where it is required to come into our office in São Paulo. #LI-HYBRID
