- Systems Innovator: Lead the development, deployment, and evolution of state-of-the-art credit risk systems and workflows.

- Be a Strategic Partner: Collaborate across teams to translate high-level business objectives and analytics insights into clear, actionable technical requirements. Champion innovation and seamless execution with our Engineering, Product, Sales, and Operations partners.

- Excellent Communicator: Outstanding at distilling complex quantitative concepts for both business and technical audiences; comfortable presenting to senior leaders and translating strategy into actionable steps.
