Responsibilities:
  • Formulate credit risk strategies for underwriting credit card products in both acquisition and portfolio management phases to enhance profitability, boost revenue, reduce credit losses, and increase customer lifetime value

  • Utilize SQL, Excel, and other analytical tools to perform detailed data analysis, identify potential risks, and develop mitigation strategies
  • Lead and mentor a team of analysts, collaborating with Decision Science, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Technology, Compliance, Legal, and other departments to achieve credit strategy initiatives
  • 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:
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field (e.g., Business Administration, Economics, Finance, Computer Science, Statistics, Chemistry)
  • 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
  • Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and diverse stakeholders
  • Demonstrated project management capabilities and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
