• Monitor the credit risk health of the entire organization, identifying emerging risks, trends, and loss drivers through ongoing portfolio surveillance and deep dives.
• Develop and maintain a unified customer risk view and relevant external metrics to support enterprise‑level decision making.
• Create support materials and deliver training for Business Unit teams, reinforcing consistent application of COE standards and methodologies.
• Lead the compilation and delivery of enterprise loss forecasts based on the unified COE framework, with Business Units supplying data, reporting, and context.
• Support multiple engagement levels, ranging from advisory oversight to hands‑on end‑to‑end execution, depending on business needs.
• Provide consulting oversight of credit risk monitoring frameworks, investigations, and targeted analytical deep dives.

What experience do you have?

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field; advanced degrees or professional designations are an asset.
• 7+ years of progressive experience in credit risk management, portfolio analytics, loss forecasting, or related disciplines within financial services or consumer lending.
• Deep expertise in credit loss modeling, forecasting, stress testing, and portfolio analytics, ideally within non‑prime or near‑prime environments.
• Proven experience leading enterprise‑level loss forecasting frameworks or COE‑style models across multiple business units.
• Strong partnership experience with Finance, FP&A, and senior leadership on forecasting and strategic decision‑making.
• Experience operating in a regulated environment, with exposure to audit, governance, and risk oversight forums.
• Demonstrated people leadership experience, including building, mentoring, and leading analytical teams.
