What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead strategic risk and FP&A analytics—building models and automated reporting that turn regulatory and operational data into CXO-ready decisions, with room to scale decision-support across teams.

I’m a financial and analytics professional with 9+ years of experience in financial services and fintech, building financial models, automated reports, forecasts, and decision-support analysis for management. I specialize in turning complex operational and portfolio data into actionable insights and scalable reporting processes.

As Manager, Strategic Risk Management at bKash Limited (Aug 2023–Present), I improved customer onboarding outcomes by reducing onboarding rejections from 40% to under 10% through impact models and scenario-based analyses aligned with regulatory changes. I also strengthened executive decision-making by translating regulatory, strategic, and operational developments into management-ready analysis tied to capital allocation, growth constraints, and performance implications.

Previously at United Finance Limited (Sep 2022–Jul 2023), I led risk analysis initiatives that reduced the NPL ratio by more than 200 basis points within six months, supported by early-warning analytics and monitoring metrics. I improved reporting efficiency by designing automated reporting frameworks and stress-testing models, cutting manual report preparation time by 50% while enhancing C-suite use of analytical briefs.

Earlier, I built practical automation and repeatable risk frameworks as a Risk Analyst / Research Roles (Mar 2018–Aug 2022), reducing operational turnaround times by up to 60% via automated Excel-based tools and institutionalizing a CAMELS-based analytical framework that reduced ad hoc assessment variance by 80% across counterparties. I began my journey with research and reporting work, including sector analysis and financial projection support at Alternative Investment Management of theSTEPS.org, and spreadsheet-based business reporting automation during my Marketing Intern role at Berger Paints Bangladesh.
