Jeeves has raised more than $400 million in equity funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, CRV, Coinbase Ventures, GIC, AllianceBernstein, CoinFund and others. If you want to rebuild how money moves across borders, come build it with us. Colombia 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 Colombia 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 Colombia, 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 Colombia, 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 Colombia scales.
