Key responsibilities include driving the design and implementation of credit strategy, leading the full lifecycle of credit and risk models, and directing portfolio analytics to detect early risk indicators and optimize risk-adjusted returns. Applicants for the Vice President of Credit Risk and Customer Analytics position at the company should have a minimum of 10 years' experience in credit risk, portfolio analytics, or a related function within financial services, with at least 5 years in a people leadership role.
