You will establish repeatable KPI and reporting frameworks (with strong documentation and controls), deliver benchmarking and peer comparisons where relevant, and help build scalable analytical solutions that improve how we monitor performance and support our customers and bankers.
Your work will drive meaningful business impact by deepening our understanding of customer behavior, identifying growth and experience opportunities, and supporting the ongoing evolution of our lending products-while maintaining strong data quality and governance.

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Economics, or related discipline) and 5+ years of experience in advanced analytics roles.
• Strong skills in SQL and modern analytics programming (e.g., Python/R) for data querying, transformation, analysis, and validation.

• Effective working cross-functionally in a dynamic product environment, aligning stakeholders and driving decisions.
• Competent using AI tools to accelerate insight generation and improve solution quality, applying them responsibly in a regulated environment.
• Hands-on experience across data platforms (on-prem and cloud), such as Teradata/Oracle and AWS/Snowflake.
