  • Translate complex risk-related data into actionable strategic insights and recommendations
  • Oversee multiple projects and initiatives to ensure they align with the company's risk appetite
  • Effectively communicate risk-related information through data visualization tools and reports
What You'll Bring:

  • 3+ years of experience in a credit risk management-related role
  • Prior financial services experience in credit card required
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to conduct comprehensive risk assessments
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
