JOB DESCRIPTION

Cashalo, an Empower company and leading fintech in the Philippines, is seeking a Director of Collections Strategy & Analytics to build a world-class collections function. This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of collections strategy, risk segmentation, outreach channels, and analytics in a fast-growing, high- impact environment. If you’re looking for a foundational role where you can have massive impact scaling operations that expand financial inclusion, and a wide scope within a high performing team, this is the role for you.

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with deep expertise in collections, risk, and analytics. They will have the opportunity to shape the vision, design best-in-class collections strategies, and eventually lead a high-performing team. This individual should be excited about getting in the weeds and hands-on leading analyses. They will drive experimentation, optimize collections performance, and implement data-driven decision-making across all aspects of the function.

This is a remote role with a preference for individuals in an Asia Pacific time zone (GMT +5-11). Occasional travel will be required for company onsites and market visits (minimum 4-6 times per year).

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Test and iterate rapidly on different collections strategies, testing new outreach techniques, incentives, and risk-based approaches.

  • Design and implement predictive collections scoring and automation, leveraging segmentation, data analytics, machine learning, and vendors to optimize recovery rates.

  • Develop and scale collections outreach models—across digital, automated, and agent-led channels—to maximize efficiency and performance.

  • Build and lead a high-performing collections strategy and analytics team, ensuring best-in-class execution and continuous improvement.

  • Work cross-functionally with Credit, Data Science, Product, Growth, and Operations teams to refine collections strategy, enhance underwriting insights, and drive innovation.

  • Own key collections KPIs, including delinquency rates, recovery efficiency, and overall portfolio performance, ensuring financial targets are met.

  • Ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements in the Philippines and future Southeast Asian markets.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 8+ years of experience in collections strategy, risk analytics, and credit risk management in financial services, preferably in consumer lending fintech.

  • Proven expertise in data-driven collections strategies, risk segmentation, and model-driven outreach optimization. Deep familiarity with AI-driven collections scoring, automation, and optimization techniques is highly preferred.

  • Strong technical skills—proficiency in SQL, Python, and analytics platforms.

  • Happy to be hands-on and in the weeds driving analysis themselves.

  • Experience leading cross-functional teams and managing complex initiatives in high-growth, fast-scaling environments.

  • Strategic thinker with a strong execution mindset—able to translate high-level business objectives into clear, data-backed action plans.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, ability to communicate to an executive audience.

  • Experience working with regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements in lending/collections is a plus.

  • Located in an Asia-Pacific time zone to facilitate collaboration across regions.

At Empower, we hire for people that push themselves to understand others and seek out ways to challenge their personal assumptions. Our hope is that by fostering such an environment, we strengthen our business and relationships by putting people first. We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workspace where everyone (regardless of age, education, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or any personal characteristics) feels like they belong. Even if your experience doesn’t exactly match up to our job description, you should feel empowered to apply regardless!
