- Assess credit expansion opportunities by estimating their potential impact on loan volume, credit losses, and risk-adjusted revenue
- Evaluate traditional and non-traditional data sources to identify opportunities to strengthen credit decisioning and improve how existing data elements are used
- Partner with Technology teams to document requirements, validate implementation, and monitor strategy changes after launch
- Use off-the-shelf and custom AI tools to support analysis, synthesize insights, and generate reports, identifying opportunities within your work to expand effective AI usage or improve existing tools
